About This Novel
New version added! The historian used his masterpiece and added nearly 40,000 words to interpret new technologies such as blockchain and the metaverse, and expand the possibilities of the future! The core of "Pivot: China 3000 Years" is to answer a question: "What is China?" In this book, Shi is problem-oriented, transcends the limitations of specific disciplines, and uses knowledge from various disciplines such as geography, history, philosophy, economics, finance, currency, military, population, society, law, and international politics to provide a unified explanatory framework for China's thousands of years of complex history and its successes and failures over the past century. In the elaboration of ancient history, Shi Zhan broke through the common Central Plains-oriented perspective and also broke through the grassland-oriented perspective. In the process of interaction, interdependence, and mutual shaping of multiple sub-regions such as the Central Plains, grasslands, Western Regions, plateaus, and oceans, he discovered a unified historical process that transcended each sub-region, thus reducing Chinese history to a systematic evolutionary history. Shi Shi restrained his value preferences in any direction and used the clue of China's super-large scale to coherently explain the reasons why China was able to maintain a unified empire and the reasons why China fell into backwardness in modern times. The great history of the Chinese revolution in the 20th century also gained a new meaning. In the process of China's encounter with the West, some internal dynamics of Chinese history were activated. Against this background, China's economic growth and its profound shaping of the world order received in-depth discussions on a new model. On this basis, the author also started a series of very constructive thinking about the future.
