Asian History Interpreted from a New Perspective (set of 5 Volumes)

About This Novel

"The Tang Dynasty in Multipolar Asia" is a monograph on the military diplomacy of the Tang Dynasty by Professor Wang Zhenping, a famous scholar of Tang history. This book cites numerous sources and narrates the complex and ever-changing relationship of "mutual benefit" and "interdependence" between the Tang Dynasty and neighboring regimes such as the Turks, Uighurs, Korea, Nanzhao, and Tubo in "multipolar" Asia. It also provides an incisive and original analysis of the central and local dual management system of the Tang Dynasty's foreign relations, as well as the role of "morality" and "righteousness" in foreign policy thinking. "The Art of Being Governed" is based on the coastal guard station of the Ming Dynasty. It analyzes the interaction between military households and the government under the Ming Dynasty's hereditary military household system. It focuses on describing and summarizing how military households with military service obligations seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and develop various strategies to optimize their own situation. They neither blatantly defied authority nor obeyed, but operated in the "middle zone" between resistance and obedience in order to minimize the costs and maximize the benefits. The author of "A Survey of Asian History" puts forward the "theory of West Asian civilizations flowing eastward" and opens up a new field of "Asian history", focusing on examining the transportation connections between civilizations. Through the transfer and changes of transportation lines, he reveals the historical trends of the rise and fall of civilizations and the evolution of the times. "Maritime Silk Road" focuses on the history of various sea areas in the Indian and Pacific Oceans from ancient times to the Portuguese colonial era. It rigorously analyzes the various factors that affected the changes in ancient shipping routes, the reasons for the rise and fall of civilizations along the "Maritime Silk Road", and the connections between them. "Silver Capital" is a very challenging and important work. It makes a magnificent discussion of the economic connections between various parts of the world since 1500. The author Andre Gond Frank places China at the center of Asia and Asia at the center of the global economy. To illustrate his point, the author draws extensively on the work of other scholars, including recent work by experts on Asian and European economic history.
