Summary
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:
