If you want to discover the captivating history of ancient China, then pay attention....
In this audiobook, you will be led on a journey through almost 2,000 years of Chinese history, showing you all the ups and downs of those ancient times, the sufferings and joys of the Chinese people, along with their greatest achievements and failures.
Dynasties will change, people will be killed and born, art made and destroyed, but the Chinese civilization will prevail, rising from humble beginnings to an empire that at some points outshined any other in the world at that time. And yet it won’t be only a tale of kings and queens, emperors and rulers. Of palaces and forts, of swords and shields.
It will also tell a story of farmers and merchants, artisans and artists, philosophers and scientists. And hopefully by the end of this introductory guide, you will gain a sense of what, who, and how the Chinese civilization was made as great as it was and still is.
From that, a better understanding of this amazing Far Eastern culture and its history should arise as well as a greater appreciation of its achievements and contributions to the world. And with a better knowledge of history, a clearer understanding of the world will come as well.
In Ancient China: A Captivating Guide to the Ancient History of China and the Chinese Civilization Starting from the Shang Dynasty to the Fall of the Han Dynasty, you will discover topics such as
- Chinese lands and birth of China

Dazzling indeed from captivating history about China. This book certainly augmented my understanding of the culture, people, and goals of the country. I found it frightening at some points, but also reassuring in others. But would urge you to listen to it.
Fascinating insights, from fascinating author.

Understanding and solid summary

It is not a super comprehensive guide of all aspects of Chinese civilization (it's not trying to be) and does not dive super deep into all of the precise chain of events that lead to different political/cultural ebbs and flows. However, if you're looking to get into Chinese history, this is a solid starting point because with this Guide in hand, you have a decent foundation of the general timeline of Chinese civilization, and can deep dive into particular points in Chinese history with some context.
There is not much of a story format here (again, probably not trying to be). First half of the book feels very much like the "geopolitics" section, where it's just a run down of ancient dynasties through Spring and Autumn period and Warring States period into Han Dynasty and whatnot. AFTER that, the second half dives a bit more into the history of Chinese culture, philosophy, technology, etc. Realistically, the philosophy & technology played a pivotal role in the geopolitics of the ancient dynasties, but this book doesn't realy intermix the different sections that it has laid out.
This is very much a formal "Let's run through geopolitics, then culture with philosophy and technology." listing of things that happened. But again, a solid guide to start with to give you context on Chinese history before diving into more specific time periods/aspects of Chinese Civilization.
Solid Overview/Guide
