Chinese National Treasures (English Edition): 23 Amazing Artifacts That Tell China‘s Story

From the 6,000-Year-Old Eagle-Shaped Pottery Ding and the Hongshan Jade Dragon to the He Zun, the Marquis Yi Bell Set, the Tiger Tally and the Galloping Horse — Fun, Illustrated Introductions to China‘s Greatest Treasures
This book introduces 23 real Chinese treasures—not as objects behind glass, but as things with stories, secrets, and personalities. You meet a pottery eagle made 6,000 years ago, a jade dragon from the Hongshan culture, a bronze vessel called He Zun that contains the earliest written form of the words “China,” a massive bell set that still plays music, a tiger-shaped military pass from the Qin state, and a bronze horse that looks like it is galloping in mid-air. Each treasure comes with hand-drawn illustrations, funny details, and the kind of stories that make you remember what you read. It is written for young readers and curious adults who want to enjoy learning about Chinese civilization—rather than study an academic catalog or a museum guidebook. If that sounds like you, this is it.
