China Through Ten Millennia: The Origins and Formation of Chinese Civilization/万年中&, (Paperback)

What Defines China? What Sustains Its Ten-Millennia Legacy? 何谓中国？何以万年！ Grounded in robust archaeological discoveries of recent years, this book vividly traces the historical trajectory of the origin, formation, and development of Chinese civilization-from the ten-thousand-year-old Shangshan Culture to the Xia-Shang period's Erlitou-fully manifesting the exceptional continuity of Chinese civilization.
