About this program
Civilization Follows Water
Seas enabled trade, canals connected regions, rivers organized settlement, and irrigation became an instrument of state power and war.
Across four routes and nearly 4,000 kilometers, Duan Zhiqiang reads Chinese history through the waters that sustained and divided it. Audio is in Chinese.
