Lu Simian's complete collection of historical and Chinese studies includes three volumes: "General History of China", "Great History of China" and "Encyclopedia of Knowledge on Chinese Studies".
"General History of China" is Mr. Lu Simian's famous historical work. It is also the first general history of China written in vernacular in the history of our country.
The book is divided into two volumes. The first volume is the cultural history of China, drawing on the canonical system of ancient history books, and is divided into eighteen topics according to chapters, such as marriage, clan system, political system, class, property, official system, and elections. The extensive content is completely consistent with the meaning of today's "big culture"; the second volume is the political history of China, starting from the origin of the nation and narrating the historical events of the past dynasties until the founding of the Republic of China.
Five thousand years of Chinese history are condensed into one book. "General History of China" is permeated with Lu Simian's spirit of using new methods and new ideas to sort out the old country. The whole book "writes general history with rich historical knowledge and smooth writing style, so as to open a new era for the writing of general history."
"The Great History of China" is divided into five different periods according to the changes in Chinese history and society: ancient history, medieval history, modern history, modern history, and modern history. It describes in detail the history of China from ancient times to the eleventh year of the Republic of China.
"Encyclopedia of Chinese Studies Knowledge" includes Mr. Lu Simian's "Introduction to Chinese Studies", "Jingzi's Answers", "Introduction to Pre-Qin Academics", "Outline of Neo-Confucianism", "Chinese Cultural History", "Historical Research Methods", "History and Historical Records", and "How to Read Chinese Historical Books". It is the most comprehensive guide to teach introductory Chinese studies to date.

Overall, this is a good book worth reading.
