书籍简介

回到公元17年，汉朝王莽四年，一个充满冲突和矛盾的充满活力和创新的时代。尽管汉文化与其他伟大的古代文明不同，古代中国的居民面临着与远古人类一样的问题：挣足够的钱，应对工作场所的纷争，收拾好自己的家……尽管在这个时代，类似的事情更多的是贿赂巡视员，避免来自恶霸守望者的欺凌，以及设法防止你的房子被匈奴人掠夺。

在每一章中，我们都会遇到这个古老文化的24位公民中的一位，从接生婆到士兵，从祭司到表演者，从铜器工人到盗墓者，从而了解中国古代的日常生活。

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 24 citizens of this ancient culture, from the midwife to the soldier, the priest to the performer and the bronze worker to the tomb looter, and see what an average day in ancient China was really like.
