Summary:
"The year is AD 17. The Han dynasty is in power and we are in and around Chang'an, the capital and one of the most developed regions of the Chinese empire, which is enjoying a prolonged economic and cultural pinnacle.
There
are extraordinary palaces, military bases and city walls. Households are benefitting from the invention of numerous agricultural technologies and an unprecedented level of craft production, which includes ceramics, bronzes, iron objects and many other elaborate goods. This is an age that is both vibrant and innovative but also riven with conflict and contradictions. Discover what one
day
in
ancient
China
was like by spending
twenty-four
hours
with the
people
who
lived
there
. Every hour we meet a different person -- from dancers to doctors, priests to convicts, textile workers to tomb looters -- and build a multi-layered picture of the social fabric of
ancient
China
."--From publisher.
