About This Novel

"New World History" is a ground-breaking new general history of the world written by the famous historian Mr. Sun Longji based on his many years of teaching "General History of the World" courses in the United States and integrating the latest academic results of global history research. The existing world general history works in the Chinese-speaking world are either translated and introduced by Western scholars, which cannot avoid the "Western-centric" stereotype; or they are works by local scholars, which lag behind the progress of international world history research in terms of concepts, vision, and materials. Mr. Sun single-handedly reconstructs the general history of the world using the concepts and methods of "global history", aiming to change the backwardness of research in this field in the Chinese-speaking world, provide the Chinese-speaking world with world history books that are more suitable for reading, understanding and dissemination, update the Chinese people's understanding of world history, and enrich the Chinese people's humanistic knowledge structure. "New World History" is a general history of the world written by Chinese scholars specifically for Chinese-speaking readers. It integrates scattered world history knowledge into a complete picture of world history. It is an important reading for today's readers to re-understand the world. Volume 2 focuses on the development and changes of several major civilization areas in the Middle Ages: the Qin and Han Empires, the Eastern and Western Roman Empires, the Islamic countries created by the Arabs, the Slavic world, and the unique development context of India. It sorted out a variety of civilization models for us and put forward the "correct "It was the Silk Road that made Han and Rome call each other 'Great Qin'" and "the Huns were the morticians of the ancient world" and many other original ideas, which fundamentally correct the false impression that "the Germanic people's attack on Rome was the watershed between ancient times and medieval times", subvert the traditional interpretation of Indian history, and have subversive significance.
