Spend twenty-four hours with the ancient Chinese.

Travel back to AD 17, during the fourth year of the reign of Wang Mang of the Han dynasty, a vibrant and innovative era full of conflicts and contradictions. But as different as the Han culture might have been to other great ancient civilizations, the inhabitants of ancient China faced the same problems as people have for time immemorial: earning enough money, coping with workplace dramas, and keeping your home in order—although the equivalent in this era was more about bribing inspectors, avoiding bullying from abusive watchmen, and trying to keep your house from being looted by Huns.

In each chapter, we meet one of twenty-four citizens of this ancient culture, from the midwife to the soldier, the priest to the performer, and the blacksmith to the tomb looter, and see what an average day in ancient China was really like.

Excellent work here. More than fictional depiction of persons. This work shows the relationships of spouses, family, government to both high ranking nobles and the lowly and how precarious the life of each. Employment and the cultural practices governing those relationships. Very educational. This work deserves high praise

I do feel like at certain point my mind was wondering. But over all 10/10 interesting subject manager. Well written. I really enjoyed it.

An excellent and important book for anyone interested in Asia or China’s past or present or even just interested in everyday life in general, during ancient times. A real page turner that reads like historic fiction but is solidly undergirded by authoritative historic facts. You will be magically transported by this Time Machine disguised as an audio book!

Fascinating and informative, Compelling stories, all very well written.

I was intrigued right up until the author mentioned thoroughbred horses in Han China. Thoroughbreds are a 17th century European phenomena. The only way they could be present in China is through time travel. I'm skeptical that the Han Chinese had a notion similar to what is implied in the term "breed". Certainly they had bloodlines, but using the term thoroughbred horse is about as accurate as referring to the Han Chinese Air Force.

Is this a major issue? no. But it lowers my confidence in everything else the book presents.

I was interested until we got to thoroughbreds

I lived learning about eastern history and how rich and full it is. This book got me interested in eastern history because I didn’t learn much from western school. I love this book so much, I’ve listened multiple times

Great reading and relatable subject
