About This Novel

Currently, re-understanding the relationship between ancient China and the outside world has become an issue of great concern to academic circles. This book focuses on the description and analysis of the overall historical interaction of the region, transcending the traditional Chinese and foreign "two points plus one line (traffic route)" historical view of the Silk Road, and instead thinking about how ancient China expanded its historical influence through the overall regional network. Using the analytical framework of multi-regional interaction and symbiosis such as farming, oases, nomadism, forests, and snow-covered plateaus, we break away from the traditional Europe-centered narrative system of world history. This book also reflects on the problems in the regional division and knowledge construction of the Eurasian world by the Russian Orientalist tradition in the 18th and 19th centuries from the perspective of conceptual history, and proposes a Eurasian spatial shift in understanding the relationship between Chinese history and world history from the perspective of Chinese subjectivity.
