Q: How far back do people teach about history in China?
Since China has one of the longest documented histories out of other countries how far back do they teach about that history in China? I've read and bought some materials from bookstores recently at Barnes & Nobles back at home. I found out the book that I bought had paper that was folded differently than any other paper I have ever come across. They said that was how Chinese use to make their books. I know there is other historic things but how far back does the teaching actually go?

They teach that the sanhuangwudi are euhemerized memories of early tribal leaders, approxamately five thousand years ago.
Are you talking about a polyptich? Fellow foreigner, as I am sure you have forgotten, Barnes and Noble is a commercial chain of bookstores.

Michael Thomas, oh how I have missed you.
Perhaps you should visit some of the wonderful museums China finances to share their proud history with the world.
Yes, China has a long history but I'm constantly shocked by how little of it the Chinese people know. The only dynasties most people know of is Qin, Han, Ming and Qing. Seems like schools just gloss over everything else and focus on the "humiliation" of the 19th and 20th centuries and the "triumph" of the communist party.
mattaya:
I'm not sure what your asking. But I mean what do they teach as far as history. In America they taught us about black history and slavery and the civil wars etc., How far back does the teaching in China go back and what types of stuff do they teach. Like recently I found out that traditionally in China they use to make a book a certain way etc.,
