Chen Zhuhuai: Speaking of China 4: The Struggle of the Nations

A history of China viewed from a Chinese perspective. This book is a translation of the introductory Chinese history text *Huashuo Zhongguo* (Discourses on China) and is planned to be a 15-volume series. Dividing the historical process from China's primitive society to the fall of the last dynasty, the Qing, by era, the book weaves stories about major historical events and figures of each period into over 1,500 headings. It is structured in a narrative format to make it easy for anyone to read and understand. Furthermore, it includes over 3,000 rich and detailed illustrations, maps, and photographs to provide a vivid sense of realism, as if viewing the daily life of the time. It also complements content that might otherwise be lacking in narratives alone by including the context of Chinese historical development and information on world history. Volume 4 depicts the Warring States period—a time when iron tools and long swords created a tragic history—through 99 stories that illustrate the process by which various social classes, groups, and individuals of that era pioneered for survival and development.
