Zusammenfassung:Where did the word "China" (Middle Kingdom) come from? Why was this country named "Middle Kingdom" (China)? This book retraces the origins of China. It provides readers with a timeline, and tells the stories that happened in the central plain (the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River) around 2000 B.C. Through analysis of the rise and fall of Taosi, Songshan Culture, the rise of Xinzhai Site and so on, which leads to the study of Erlitou Site ( ), the author deconstructs the birth of the Xia Dynasty, which was the first dynasty of China.
