My process for determining which eras I'd write about was to just read history books that gave a really broad overview of Chinese history. And when I came across a historical figure or a historical incident that was especially interesting to me, ideas for characters and stories would surface.
We must teach our people the greatness of China's historical culture. In our educational program we must stress Chinese history and geography so that all may know and appreciate China's civilization of five thousand years and the far-flung boundaries of our ancient race. This will engender a greater faith in our own future.
Historically, there had been many periods of Chinese Renaissance.
When I was growing up I spent a lot of time reading about ancient China and was really fascinated.

History is malleable. A new cache of diaries can shed new light, and archeological evidence can challenge our popular assumptions.
Cultural anthropology is more and more rapidly getting to realize itself as a strictly historical science.
I'm very curious to witness the historic transformation of Chinese women.
So much of the physical world has been explored. But the deluge of data I get to investigate really lets me chart new territory. Genetic data from people living today forms an archaeological record of what happened to their ancestors 10,000 years ago.
