Still the Same Moonlight (a Collection of Academic Essays)
by Mao Haijian
About This Novel
This book was first published in 2014. It is compiled from several types of articles, of any length, and is relatively easy to read. Some chapters of the updated edition have been adjusted, with some additions and some deletions. As one of the few collections of academic essays by Professor Mao Haijian, we can see a true portrayal of his inner activities and an expression of the historian's temperament. "The moonlight is still the same as before" is the author's determination and persistence in the academic path he established back then. Among them is a group of articles focusing on the cultural life history of the late Qing Dynasty, which can be regarded as small topics created by the author using leftover materials from reading massive archives. For example, on "Huxiang Culture"; on Gong Zizhen; on the Empress Dowager Cixi, Emperor Guangxu, Regent Zaifeng and other late Qing emperors' textbooks; on reading the gift lists and tributes found in the archives of Zhang Zhidong, Prince Chun's Mansion, Li Hongzao, etc., And sorting out the changes in the upper class society in the late Qing Dynasty from the gift-giving activities of high-ranking officials, which is solid, detailed and interesting.
