About This Novel

A comprehensive work on the study of Japanese history in modern China. There are a total of forty volumes and twelve chapters. After the Meiji Restoration, Japan's national power grew stronger and its ambitions grew. The author Huang Zunxian was China's first counselor in Japan. He felt that Chinese scholar-bureaucrats had a narrow vision and were ignorant of foreign affairs, so he worked hard to write a book, discussing the process of Japan's reform and its pros and cons, and inferring it to our country. Among them, the records of the Meiji Restoration are particularly detailed. For the Qing government, which was in the same predicament as Japan before the Meiji Restoration, this was a theory and experience that was in urgent need of reference. Unfortunately, after the book was published in 1887, it mainly attracted the attention of the Japanese. It was not until the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War that its value became widely known to the Chinese people, and it became famous all over the country.
