Post-70s Chinese artist and entrepreneur, Liu Jing, puts China's 5,000-year history into a unique, easy-to-read comic book format -- a must for anyone seeking to understand what China is and where it came from.â€¨â€¨

Scouring pre-liberation historical accounts, the author takes readers deep into the world of mythical ancestors, influence brokers, emperors, and individuals whose ideas resonate among the Chinese today.

â€¨â€¨This book seeks to answer questions posed by new readers and old China hands alike:â€¨â€¨

* What makes the Chinese 'Chinese'?
* How have the Chinese people and their culture evolved and changed over the millennia?
* Why do Chinese appear genetically wired to think there should be a single, unified China?
* Are Chinese people religious?â€¨

The first of a three volume set,Â Understanding China through Comics Vol.1Â begins with the Yellow Emperor and the birth of Chinese civilization and continues through the end of the Han Dynasty -- which set the course for the culture, philosophies, and politics that still dominate China today.â€¨
New perspectives on Chinese history help explain complicated chains-of-events and uncover the driving forces behind the critical changes that shaped China. Research spans classic Chinese texts and contemporary historical works, including: 'Records of the Grand Historian' by Sima Qian, the father of ChineseÂ history;Â 'History of China'Â by pre-liberation historian Wang Tongling; 'The General History of China'Â by his contemporaryÂ LÃ¼ Simian;Â 'The Analects' of Confucius; and historical information embedded in ancient Chinese paintings.
