By: Captivating History

Narrated by: Desmond Manny

If you want to discover the captivating history of ancient China, then pay attention....

In this audiobook, you will be led on a journey through almost 2,000 years of Chinese history, showing you all the ups and downs of those ancient times, the sufferings and joys of the Chinese people, along with their greatest achievements and failures.

Dynasties will change, people will be killed and born, art made and destroyed, but the Chinese civilization will prevail, rising from humble beginnings to an empire that at some points outshined any other in the world at that time. And yet it won’t be only a tale of kings and queens, emperors and rulers. Of palaces and forts, of swords and shields.

It will also tell a story of farmers and merchants, artisans and artists, philosophers and scientists. And hopefully by the end of this introductory guide, you will gain a sense of what, who, and how the Chinese civilization was made as great as it was and still is.

From that, a better understanding of this amazing Far Eastern culture and its history should arise as well as a greater appreciation of its achievements and contributions to the world. And with a better knowledge of history, a clearer understanding of the world will come as well.

For stories I would rather recommend

The people who shaped China
I just found it much more entertaining and fun to listen to

This book here is more like an essay
While people who shaped China throws you into their lives

Anyway just my personal feeling
Different people have different tastes

Massive history... 3hrs. Incorrect pronunciation

Started off okay as far as content. Couldn't continue due to the incorrect pronunciation. I'm not listening to this just to hear a story - I want to be able to discuss it with actual Chinese people and reconcile it with the bits of Chinese history I already have in my head.

The history of China is complex.

The Captivating History author commences with some of the initial records of China starting before 1000 BC but rapidly gets into the period of warring states and the amalgamation and beginning of the Qin family. The author gives all the contextual needed to understand how later conflicts reference back to the early fights faced in China. The author gives the reader a brief picture of the world Confucius lived in and the philosophy he shaped that was perhaps the toughest current in Chinese government through its history.
