We look at the time from 2070 to 1600 BCE, understanding how these ancient tales of leaders, massive floods, and early battles shaped a unique identity. The book explains how the ideas that started then, like the concept that a ruler must be good to keep power, are still important today. We travel from the mythical stories of early figures to the archaeological evidence of early state society, where scientists find clues of advanced bronze working and large-scale organization. You will discover how survival skills and ritual dances from this period slowly turned into the first martial arts and how the strategy of working with nature, rather than against it, became a key part of a lasting philosophy. This journey shows how the roots of modern thought, combat, and leadership were forged in this legendary age, connecting the distant past to our world now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Liang Wei Hao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798263521141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.31d","brand":"Liang Wei Hao","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48659664142591,"sku":"9798263521141","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-xia-dynasty-liang-wei-hao-9798263521141","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
