The image is a title slide of a book titled "Pre-Qin Times". The slide is divided into two sections. The top section is titled "Xia Dynasty c. 21st-16th centuries BC" and has a subtitle that reads "Western Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn Period 770-403 BC". Below the subtitle, there is a brief description of the book's contents.

The bottom section of the slide has Chinese characters that translate to "In the early stages of trade, utilitarian objects were used as the medium of exchange. During the Shang and Western Zhou Dynasties, these objects included cowries, tortoise shells, pearls, jade, textiles, metal pieces, and small bronze items. By the Spring, Autumn and the Warring States Periods, currencies made from bronze or gold gradually became dominant and took many different forms under various political regimes."

Overall, the slide appears to be discussing the history of the Chinese dynasties and their impact on the world.
