Minimalist Chinese History
by Ma Yong
About This Novel
China has a long history. In traditional historical research, we are accustomed to "putting ourselves first" and putting the "Central Plains" culture at the center of historical research. We lack a perspective of historical comparison with the surrounding and even world-wide history at the same time, and ignore the influence of "external" culture on the "internal" dynasties. In this book, Professor Ma Yong from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences takes a high position to reconstruct the Chinese historical narrative with a global historical perspective, observes the evolution of Chinese history from a "horizontal synchronic" perspective, and tells Chinese history from ancient times to the late Qing Dynasty in a concise and in-depth way, helping us understand the long-term evolution of politics, economy, society and culture across dynasty changes and its internal logic.
