JadeOrchidSong Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Ds10 has tons of history already and I would like to do a year of Chinese history with him. We are also going to visit three important historic capitals of Kaifeng, Xi'an, and Beijing. If you have any recommendations for history and literature books, I'd appreciate it very much!

TianXiaXueXiao Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Have you and he read any Wu Cheng'en works like The Journey to the West? I used to live in Xi'an and Da Yan Ta (Big Goose Pagoda) is Historically linked to the westward journey of Buddhism into China. You could also try tackling Romance of the Three Kingdoms since there's connection to each of your destinations and it's epic! There's so much history in each of the cities you are going to. I have been to them all and I would recommend doing a History plan that places your destinations front and center. Let us know what you decide to do. How fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeOrchidSong Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 Thank you! I will have us all listen to The Rise and Fall of China. I reserved some books from the library. The unit study of Ancient China looks very complete. Thanks for the great ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
