Legends Verified: A Chinese History Confirmed by Archaeology/¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿

History is no longer just legend - every brick and every tile can now be verified.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿China is a country rich in legends-from the ancient myths of creation to the esoteric court secrets and mysterious treasures of later dynasties. Though legends are not history, and have therefore been excluded from orthodox historical records, they often contain kernels of historical truth. In some cases, legends themselves turn out to be actual historical events. For example, the legends of Yao and Shun establishing their capitals at Pingyang, certain legends of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, the legend of the stone figures of Li Bing at Dujiangyan in Chengdu, the legend of the Buddha's finger bone relic and underground palace treasures at Famen Temple in Fufeng, Shaanxi, the legend of Zhang Xianzhong's "sunk silver at the river mouth," and the legend of the poisoning of the Guangxu Emperor of the Qing Dynasty-all have been confirmed by archaeology as having actually occurred, though they were embellished and exaggerated over time in the process of oral transmission.This book, grounded in rigorous archaeological discoveries, delves deep into the stories behind every brick and every tile. The author not only traces the broad contours of Chinese history but also focuses on those details forgotten by time, allowing readers to rediscover our history from an entirely new perspective.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
