Kinas historie
I 10 episoder dykker vi ned i Kinas lange historie fra oldtiden og til i dag. Vi kommer forbi de mange kejserdynastier, de utrolige bygningsværker, religionen, filosofien og ikke mindst det 20. århundredes blodige omvæltninger.
Serien er støttet af Carlsbergfondet og er anden sæson af fire i projektet ‘Kulturens vugge’. De øvrige sæsoner handler om henholdsvis Ruslands, Irans og Indiens historie. De to sidste udkommer senere i 2025 og i 2026.

Illustration: An Elegant Party (detail), an outdoor painting of a small Chinese banquet hosted by the emperor for scholar-officials from the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Although painted in the Song period, it is most likely a reproduction of an earlier Tang Dynasty (618-907) work of art. The painting is attributed to Emperor Huizong of Song (r. 1100–1125 AD).
