How did one civilization survive for 5,000 years while every other ancient empire faded away? This is the epic story of China, the world's oldest living civilization, from its very first beginnings on the Yellow River to the birth of modern China in 1949. Journey through the entire sweep of Chinese history: the oracle bones of the Shang, the oldest writing still in use today, the wisdom of Confucius, the first emperor and his famous Terracotta Army, and the mighty Great Wall. Discover the Silk Road of the Han, the golden age of the Tang, the incredible inventions of the Song, the Forbidden City of the Ming, and Admiral Zheng He's legendary treasure fleets that reached Africa. See how China rose, fell, and rose again through every dynasty, absorbing empires and always remaining itself.
