Ancestors New series. Michael Wood tells the story of the world's newest superpower, exploring the stories, people, culture and landscapes that have helped create its character over 4,000 years.
He begins by looking at ancestry, one of the great themes of Chinese history. He joins a 300-strong family as they reunite to carry out rituals for an ancestor who died in 1049, witnesses a million pilgrims at the shrine of the
goddess Nu Wa, and hears about China's greatest archaeological discovery, the Oracle Bones, which reveal fascinating clues about the first great dynasty - the Shang
