From the Human-headed Pot and the Jiahu Bone Flute to the Houmuwu Ding, the Sanxingdui Bronze Tree and the Sword of Goujian — 25 Treasures Told in Vivid Detail, with Craft, History & Cross-Cultural Notes
This book brings together the stories of 25 Chinese treasures from the first season of the CCTV documentary—from a 6,000-year-old pottery pot shaped like a human head to the sword of a king who lived before the Great Wall was built. You meet a bone flute that still plays music after nine thousand years, a bronze ding so heavy it took a team to move, a bronze tree from Sanxingdui that looks like something from another world, and a tiger tally that could split an army in two. Along the way, you learn how they were made, what they meant to the people who made and used them, and how they connect to the larger story of Chinese culture. The book also adds background on craft, history, and cross-cultural comparison that goes beyond the documentary. If you want to encounter these objects through their stories rather than through an academic catalogue or a dry museum guide—this is it.
