Before this period, the background is based on legends and some prehistoric evidence. Learn about all its phases by taking a look at these books on the history of China in PDF format.

The history of China can be divided into the following stages (with verifiable data):

Ancient China (1600 BC – 221 BC): began around the Yellow River during the Shang era, spreading as the Bronze Age culture reached its peak. China expanded in territory and population later in the feudal era. This stage culminated in its fracture into warring kingdoms.

Imperial China: marked by the union of kingdoms. These were times in which peace reigned and Chinese civilization was established, although this changed later with the conquests. The Qing and Han dynasties dominated this period.

Chinese Middle Ages: with the culmination of the Han dynasty, China again fractured into three kingdoms, until the rise of the Jin dynasty, which did not last long, to give way to the fracturing of the Northern and Southern dynasties.

Final Dynasty and Renaissance: The imperial social system is maintained and the last two dynasties develop: Ming and Qing.

The era of the Republic of China (1912-1949): The 1911 revolution overthrew the Qing dynasty, but civil war raged for many decades.

Modern China (1949-today): The People’s Republic of China is founded and communism is established. Since 1978 the growth of this nation has been remarkable, from an economic point of view.
