Focusing on this beginning, historian Jonas Xu, at the age of ninety, rose to the challenge and wrote eight drafts to produce a "biography" of Chinese civilization from its growth to its formation. The author jumped out of the narrative of the internal evolution of Chinese culture, and with the perspective and mindset of "big history", he rearranged the historical interactions within and outside of China, and reproduced the trajectory of the interaction and fusion of people, ethnic groups and cultures on the land of China. In a long narrative of more than 5,000 years, the author reveals the core and mystery of the continuation of Chinese civilization to the present day and its perpetuation with a heartfelt vision of a rooted and oriented China through a meticulous analysis of how local cultures of China have intertwined and how China has responded to the impact from the world.
