        Tell Children About the Sanxingdui

        by Liu Xingshi

        The Sanxingdui Ruins are considered one of the most the greatest archaeological finds of China in the 20th century. Located in the southwest China's Sichuan Province, the ruins are believed to be the remnants of the ancient Shu Kingdom, predating the Xia Dynasty by 700 years or even thousands of years, dating back up to 3000 or 5000 years ago. What is the truth about this period of history and who built it? This is a mystery to the world. Liu Xingshi is a prehistoric archaeological researcher, contemporary geologist, science popularization writer, and expert in Sanxingdui mineral resources investigation. He wrote, at the age of 91, this set of humorous but professional books for children to guide them in uncovering the mysteries of the Sanxingdui Ruins from the perspectives of geography, archaeology, history, and human environmental science. Unlike the most books on the market focusing on the cultural relics unearthed at the Sanxingdui Ruins, including the surprisingly large number of bronzes and ivories, this unique set of books traces back to the ancient Shu civilization and explores how Sanxingdui people lived, including food, clothing, shelter, transportation, labor, and migration, as well as the hidden geography, climate, and environmental knowledge, which leaves infinite imagination space for children.

        The Imperial Kiln Gold Brick

        by Zhou Zhenlin, Jin jin

        Gold bricks produced by the imperial kiln in Suzhou in eastern Jiangsu Province are not actually made of gold. The smooth, shiny bricks are big and square. They got their name from their quality, the tedious manufacturing process and the high cost involved. The bricks, which have long been used to build imperial palaces, are a specialty of Lumu, a small village near Yangcheng Lake in Suzhou. In the early 15th century when the Forbidden City began to be constructed, the bricks made in Lumu were recommended to the Ming government (1368-1644). Central government officials assigned to Lumu found the yellow earth in Lumu was especially good to make bricks. Besides the special material, the advanced firing technique and the strict firing procedures of the Lumu kiln also contributed to producing the high-quality gold bricks. Thus the Lumu kiln was named the Imperial Kiln by the Ming emperor.
