Each of them is introduced in a 5-minute episode to tell a story, explaining the Chinese spirit, aesthetics and values behind them. This documentary provides a chance for the audience to understand the cultures of China from a fresh perspective. The first season was highly rated by the audience and stirred a passion for culture and tradition.This book presents the stories of the 25 treasures in the first season of the documentary. Between the lines, you may find their legendary experiences that were hardly known and look for traces of the Chinese spirit. We are sure that these stories, which are full of ups and downs, will open a window for readers to gain a touch of the everlasting value and charm of the great country’s gems.
