The History of China 03: The Legacy of the First Emperor, The Qin-Han Empire - Recommended for learning about the birth of the Chinese emperors and their historical background.
In the previous work, "History of China 02: From City States to China, Shang and Zhou, Spring and Autumn Warring States," we looked at the period leading up to the birth of Qin Shi Huangdi, and now the flowery stage of Chinese history is finally beginning.
In this book, you will learn about the history of Qin, where the First Emperor was born, and the Han and Later Han dynasties, which also appear to have connections with Japanese history.
In this book, you can learn the background of the prehistory of the Three Kingdoms Period. It is precisely because of the existence of the Qin and Han dynasties that the epic battle to unify all of China took on a realistic form.
I was also pleased to learn about how history has been compiled in China. It is often said that the First Emperor was a "burning books and burying Confucian scholars," and I appreciated learning the background of this discourse.
