Early Times: The Story of Ancient China

List Price: 25.13

The Story of Ancient China focuses upon each of the major historical periods, from the Neolithic period through the Tang dynasty. It traces the evolution of the Chinese city-kingdom and provides clear explanations of such concepts as yin and yang, feng shui, and the Mandate of Heaven. Tales drawn from Chinese mythology and legend introduce the student to such colorful figures as the Yellow Emperor and the Queen of the West, and they demonstrate why the dragon has always been loved as well as feared in China. Lively narratives depict the lives of such legendary sages as Confucius and Lao Tzu and explain the origins and evolution of the “big three” schools of Chinese thought – Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism. Special attention is paid to Chinese ingenuity, highlighting such inventions as paper, the compass, silk cloth, the wheelbarrow, the kite, and gunpowder.

I know I can trust Bookshelf Central. They are a small business with a huge heart, always willing to help with book recommendations and truly make the customer feel valued.

I was amazed that it was packaged so well. Thank you for paying attention to detail. I will share this with my friends and family.

I will definitely remember you when we need to purchase more Bibles. You've been a great help.

I just wanted to write and say THANK YOU! I received my latest order by UPS today. I have had shipments in the past that have been ruined because they were left out in the weather. But thanks to the way that you carefully wrap all the books in my order, even IF it would have been left out in the weather, my books would NOT be ruined!! Thank you for your conscientious care in shipping our materials!

The best thing about Bookshelf Central is that it saves a busy mom TIME! The ease of having the books I need systematically laid out by category keeps me from having to look here, there, and everywhere for books.
