Every Treasure Tells a Story: Season 2 (English Edition) – 25 Chinese Artifacts, Their Secrets & Their Times

From the Gold Crown with Eagle Finial and the Chime-bells of Marquis Yi to the Terracotta Warriors, the Changxin Palace Lamp and the Galloping Bronze Horse — 25 Treasures from the Warring States to the Han, Told in Vivid Detail
This book brings together the stories of 25 Chinese treasures from the second season of the CCTV documentary—not as a dry catalogue, but as a collection of narratives that let each object speak for itself. You meet a gold crown from the steppe, a set of bronze bells that still play music, an army of terracotta soldiers buried for two thousand years, a lamp that channels smoke into a chamber of water, a gown woven so finely it fits inside a matchbox, and a bronze horse caught mid-gallop. Along the way, you learn how they were made, what they meant to the people who made them, and how they connect to the larger story of Chinese culture. If you want to encounter these objects through their stories rather than through an academic catalogue or a dry museum guide—this is it.
