Or should it be the dragon or the phoenix? This book makes a provocative interpretation of the Chinese ancient totems such as the bear and the owl. Taking a mythological approach, it explores the origin of Chinese civilization using the quadruple evidence method, which integrates ancient and unearthed literature, oral transmission, and archeological objects and graphs. It testifies to the authenticity of unresolved ancient myths and legends from the origins of Chinese Jade Ware (6200BC-5400 BC) to the names of the Yellow Emperor (2698?2598 BC) and the legends from the Xia (2010BC-1600BC), Shang (1600BC-046BC), Zhou (1046BC-771BC), and Qin (221BC-206BC) Dynasties. The book lays the foundation for a reconstruction of Chinese Mythistory. With well over 200 photographs of historic artifacts, the book appeals to both researchers and general readers. 410 0$aResearch Series on the Chinese Dream and China?s Development Path,$x2363-6874 606 $aHistory 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aHistory 606 $aHistory of China 606 $aCultural History 607 $aChina$xHistory 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 14$aHistory. 615 24$aHistory of China. 615 24$aCultural History. 676 $a951 700 $aYe$b Shuxian$0705592 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910590070303321 996 $aA Mythological Approach to Exploring the Origins of Chinese Civilization$92908697 997 $aUNINA
