About this listen

Are you curious how a culture could survive from the Neolithic Era to the present day? Do you need a compact and entertaining outline of China’s massive history?

The very name of China conjures up stunning historical images. From the Great Wall snaking through its mountains to the thousands of terracotta warriors found buried in its Earth, the world is not unfamiliar with the technological feats and vast expanses of the Chinese nation.

As one of the world’s longest continuous civilizations, China’s history is boundless, complex, and multifaceted, filled with conflicts, accomplishments, and stories that seem larger than life. To delve into Chinese history is to discover the heights of what man can accomplish right next to the darkest depths of his bloody and power-hungry dreams.

In A Brief History of China, you will follow the course of China’s ups and downs over the centuries, journeying from the mythical kingdom of the Xia on the Yellow River to Xi Jinping’s expansive nation of billions. Watch the insurmountable momentum that drove China through the ages, dynasty after dynasty, to arrive where it is on the world’s stage in the 21st century. From emperors to economics and technology to trade, discover the remarkable and enduring resiliency of Chinese culture.

I have really enjoyed the brief history of audiobook series. A lot of research has gone into the audiobook. I didn't know much about China and now I feel like I have an overview of this fascinating nation. I look forward to listening to the next one in the series.

I know China has very long and complicated history, but it takes so much time if we read it through! But this audiobook make it easier to know the rise and fall of the Imperial china and other detail. Each chapter is about 10 minutes so we don't be filled too much at a time. It feels like we listened to interesting stories one after one. Highly recommended!

Fascinating culture!
