Legends Begin Here [EPUB ebook] 

"When we read the ‘Records of the Grand Historian’ today, we must understand why we read it and how to read it. It is not about looking at isolated ancient stories, but about learning how to interpret history and analyze the will of people and the historical process during reading. Reading history is a serious matter, but when you salvage the scattered remnants in the long river of history, grasp the historical facts, and construct a historical view, you can experience the ultimate pleasure of reading.’Legends Begin Here’ includes 12 ancient emperors from the ‘Records of the Grand Historian’ such as the Yellow Emperor, Yao, Shun, and King Wen of Zhou. Through the life stories of these figures, we can follow the historical sequence and understand the context of Chinese history during the Spring and Autumn period, gaining a deeper insight into the essence of Chinese culture."
