Common Knowledge of Ancient Chinese Culture

This book is very good. I spent a lot of time to read it seriously, and I learned some common knowledge about ancient culture. However, reading it once is obviously not enough. Reading more and memorizing it are the core. I think the astronomy and calendar are the most difficult to understand, with too many explanations. Other sections require more reading and familiarity with the new words. This book also combines pictures and explanations to make the content not too boring, allowing me to read it carefully driven by curiosity. If you really can't continue reading, you can also choose the listening mode, which eliminates the need to exit the step of looking up the pinyin of words, and it is not a pleasure anymore.

Born in modern China and constantly driven by modern industrialization, the gap between us and ancient culture is getting wider and wider. Only by understanding our history can we love our country and our nation.

This is the most concise common knowledge book on ancient culture I have ever read. The content is concise, essential but not complicated, and is accompanied by photos of the real objects. Things that were not fully understood before suddenly become clear to the reader. It is indeed a rare good book.

I feel that some authors who write ancient novels should read it, at least it will avoid a lot of mistakes in touching the ground with their toes (the most common mistake in pronouncing relatives)

A must-read to understand traditional Chinese culture! As a student majoring in Chinese language and literature, I have read many of Mr. Wang Li's books and marveled at his knowledge. Mr. Wang Li has devoted his life to studying ancient culture, Chinese history, traditional culture, ancient Chinese... He wrote non-stop and left precious cultural heritage for future generations. This book is a popular cultural knowledge book compiled by Mr. Wang Li together with many experts and scholars. Its comprehensive collection has never been surpassed. It is the best choice for readers who want to systematically understand traditional culture or who are afraid of classical Chinese!

Ancient cultural common sense refers to the collective name of ancient title habits, calendars, solar terms, official positioning, geography, etiquette, ancient music, imperial examination system, patriarchal laws and other cultural contents. China has been in China for five thousand years, and the knowledge of ancient Chinese culture is broad and profound. It comprehensively and meticulously explains to readers the knowledge about titles of various age groups, calendar knowledge such as the year and month, solar terms such as Yuan Day and Yuan Night, knowledge about officials in the six departments, geography knowledge, imperial examination knowledge, patriarchal knowledge, etiquette and customs, ancient music, etc.

Wang Lishi is a great master, and this book made me know what I didn't know.

In addition to cultural common sense, it also contains the author's own thoughts. The book clearly mentions some issues that are still controversial in the academic world, and also reminds readers of things that are not recorded in history books.

It's full of useful information and very beautiful. The writing style of the whole book is smooth and fluent. Even if I have a partial understanding of the content, it does not affect my enjoyment of reading, not to mention that I really absorb a lot of interesting knowledge points. For example, the explanation of "Makino", the analysis of the Ghost Festival, the interpretation of ancient names, the original meaning of the word marriage, what is the prototype of ideal Feng Shui, the evolution of the word sugar, and the "unknown status" of cats in history. It is not boring historical knowledge at all, and I enjoyed reading it.

I love this book. It really contains a lot of ancient knowledge. It is explained in detail and goes from simple to deep, which makes people benefit a lot from reading it!
