This book invites senior experts and scholars from the fields of Chinese archaeology and history to describe ten influential “national treasure-level” cultural antiquities. Spanning from the Neolithic Age to modernity and with content ranging from the origin of civilizations to the red cultural relics, the book covers cultural antiquities, including: the Clay Figurine, the Painted Pottery Plate with Coiling Long Pattern (from the Neolithic Period), the Turquoise-inlaid and Long-shaped Bronze Object (of the Xia Dynasty), the Ivory Goblet Inlaid with Turquoise (of the Shang Dynasty), the He Zun (Ritual Wine Vessel), the Ox-shaped Zun (Wine Vessel), the Arm Protector with Animal and Clouds (and embroidered with the Chinese characters meaning “five stars appear in the East, which is a sign of Chinese victory over the Qiang”), the Beast-head-shaped Agate Cup (of the Tang Dynasty), the Imperial Gilt Gold Mesh Crown with Two Upright Wings (of the Ming Dynasty), etc. The text features not only scientific rigor but is also enjoyable to read and thought-provoking.

Inaugurated in Beijing on January 3, 2019, the Chinese Academy of History (CAH), affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, is the first state-level institution of historical research in the People's Republic of China. Chinese President Xi Jinping congratulated on its establishment in a letter. With 6 institutes, namely, the Institute of Archaeology, the Institute of Ancient History, the Institute of Modern History, the Institute of World History, the Institute of Chinese Borderland Studies, and the Institute of Historical Theories, the CAH has established a full-fledged system of historical research. The Academy is committed to constructing an interdisciplinary hub for historical sciences, integrating resources to implement major research projects, and guiding historical research across China. The CAH also aims to build an international platform for academic dialogues, and work with all partners to promote world peace, stability, development and prosperity by providing historical insights and wisdom.
