About this listen
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.
In Ancient China: A Captivating Guide to the Ancient History of China and the Chinese Civilization Starting from the Shang Dynasty to the Fall of the Han Dynasty, you will discover topics such as
- Chinese lands and birth of China
- Shang and Zhou Dynasties and the rise of royal power
- Disintegration of royal power
- Birth of Imperial China
- Rise and fall of the Han Dynasty
- Society of ancient China
- The ancient Chinese culture
- Inventions and innovations of the ancient Chinese
- And much, much more!

Good summarization of the history.
The author visualize Chinese and other reader’s very valuable prospects to know about Chinese leaders. Chinese whoopla machine has done too slight to link the general public and the governance, which will destruction the political root of Communist Party.

Good work but repeated stuff.
This audio-book is especially for those who never took modern china history, this audible is absolutely a good listen, very informative, written in elegant and easy language. The only thing, the given stuff is repeated many times.

First Audible, nice stuff.
Somewhat an excellent exposure and unusual insight into China perception (new and strange to me). The author provided too much data into little space, congested one but still a nice effort from Captivating History team.

I only like how the book is organized.
I only like how the book is organized, in a best way but the details are too much and repetitive. But there is no other issue. All the stuff is really well manged to understand the history. I didn't like to post it four stars as it is my first audible but I also can't post all the five.

A definite recommendation for history lovers.
A definite recommendation for history lovers. Generally people think of history books as being boring but A CAPTIVATING GUIDE TO THE ANCIENT HISTORY OF CHINA is not of that class. It is a captivating and comparatively easy to understand the stuff.

Read the book instead
I found the narrator’s pronunciation of Chinese words grating and highly inaccurate. It is clear he never bothered to learn how the Chinese words are meant to be spoken which led to much confusion when listening to it. Save yourself time and read the book instead which I believe is available as a free book if you have kindle unlimited.
