書籍簡介

回到公元17年，漢朝王莽四年，一個充滿衝突和矛盾的充滿活力和創新的時代。儘管漢文化與其他偉大的古代文明不同，古代中國的居民面臨着與遠古人類一樣的問題：掙足夠的錢，應對工作場所的紛爭，收拾好自己的家……儘管在這個時代，類似的事情更多的是賄賂巡視員，避免來自惡霸守望者的欺凌，以及設法防止你的房子被匈奴人掠奪。

在每一章中，我們都會遇到這個古老文化的24位公民中的一位，從接生婆到士兵，從祭司到表演者，從銅器工人到盜墓者，從而瞭解中國古代的日常生活。

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.
