When China was first united some 2250 years ago, it was already a country rich in skills and tradition, where farmers grew rice in flooded fields, women wove beautiful silk cloth, and philosophers wrote important guides to life. China’s imperial age of dynasties and emperors lasted to the 20th century. Makes it easier for modern readers to understand the past.
Shows the lives of girls and women on every page providing an inclusive view of life in the ancient world.
