The Narration of Ancient China

Join us on a journey through ancient Chinese literatures and arts! Are you interested in the image of Beijing City in the Age of Discovery through the eyes of a Portuguese explorer or a picture about Confucius in his "classroom" that has been passing down for centuries? Would it not be intriguing to find out how gender identity of a female protagonists in the Tang dynasty transgresses in four narratives most likely based on the same real event? Does reviewing a more than 2000-year-old legal case while decoding some characters on unearthed bamboo slips sounds exciting? This book takes you on a ride through all the adventures mentioned above.
