About this listen
Heroes, evil emperors, legends of men who fought against nine-headed snakes, sorcerers that could tell the future, and a wall so huge it can be seen from space...who knew there was so much to discover about China’s vast and intriguing history? Join us as we travel back in time and dive into the world of sacred gods, life-changing inventions, and stories of yore...
The Chinese created an amazing society that grew from along the banks of the Yellow River to oceans and lands beyond. But first, these people had to fight off jealous tribes from all sides and move their entire towns due to terrible floods. Yet they worked hard and built a culture that still survives - and thrives - today.
Let’s take a close look at some of the most notorious leaders, their culture, and what drove them to persevere through the thousands of years it took to build the China we know today. In this audiobook, you’ll discover:
- Yu the Great - a builder and innovator and leader of the first dynasty
- How a yellow dragon and black turtle saved the day
- Tang - breakfast drink or first emperor of the Shang Dynasty?
- Riddles, riddles, and more riddles!
- Smelting and the birth of the Bronze Age - along a riverbank!
- Beer for breakfast?
- Oracle bones and turtle shells equals…writing?
- Using shells for money
- Wars, wars, and more wars!
- Building a wall that can be seen from space!
- And then came the empress…
- The Han Dynasty’s many secrets
- Chinese Zodiac calendar - which animal are you?
- Crazy burial traditions
Get ready to learn some little-known facts about China - and have some fun along the way. You’ll learn all about their many festivals and traditions, and how a rat and a cat used an ox to make a very important point! Curious?
