Description

Imperial China: The Definitive Visual History brings to life the long and rich history of China's great dynasties, spanning over 5,000 years. This comprehensive guide explores pivotal events, political forces, and powerful people that shaped Chinese history and laid the foundations of the modern nation.

From prehistory to the last Qing emperor, the book features stunning images of artefacts not previously seen outside of China, offering a unique insight into the key events that shaped Chinese history. It delves into the arrival of China's first dynasty, the warring states of early China, and the emperor-led dynasties that followed, revealing how the Chinese empire flourished and declined over the course of two millennia.

With illuminating features on important historical figures, cultural achievements, and philosophy, such as the rise of Confucianism and the silk and tea trades, Imperial China is an exquisite and comprehensive history that is ideal for anyone looking to learn more about China's extraordinary heritage.
