Chinese society has progressed through major changes, but lucky numbers, festivals, beliefs about colors, the practic of footbinding, the building of the Great Wall, and the larger-than-life people of China are all integral parts of this ancient civilization and still have an impact on life today.Bestselling author Adeline Yen Mah explores an extraordinary view of the great story of China over the last two millennia in this nonfiction work, which also includes black-and-white photographs.

Did you know matches were invented by a few Chinese ladies? Or that the Terracotta Army is a burial ground of an emperor with his army all made out of clay? These are a few things you will learn from this book. You explore all of the dynasties of China to present day. Religion, emperors wars, and inventions are all discussed along the way. It is a history book that touches on many aspect of Chinese history. The neat part about this book is that unlike some history books it doesn't get dull.
