China's History: So Addictive You'll Read It in One Sitting, Volume 2

Most of the time, history stands still. So when telling history, it's important to find those moments of transformation that were truly decisive. This is the work of this book. It focuses on the major changes in Chinese history, including Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, the Zhenguan period in the Tang Dynasty, Zheng He's voyages to the West, etc. It also pays attention to those figures who had an important impact on historical development - emperors, generals, talents, beauties and ordinary people, which helps to quickly understand the changes in Chinese history.

Wow, this book is really great! It allowed me to see the great changes in history, just like when I read "The Fifteen Years of Wanli" before, I understood history from an overall perspective. Moreover, the author also connected historical events and characters, allowing me to see the changes of the times more clearly. I find history books like this very interesting and enlightening. It's like having a conversation with history and feeling the courage and wisdom of those heroes. I want to be like them and go out bravely to face the challenges in life!

Like, like story telling, like unofficial history,... It is a book worth reading! ! !

This book tells me a lot: abandon all irrelevant things and devote time and energy to the things you really want, so as to expand the maximum breadth of life and gain the maximum spiritual freedom. For thousands of years, heroes and heroes have disappeared in the depths of time, and only the green tombs at the foot of Daqing Mountain stand silently. There are no real heroes in this world. There are only mortals who overcome obstacles and defeat enemies. Only a strong heart can overcome the sufferings in the world. The rivers and lakes are like deserts without any order. Thousands of strong men enter the field to fight. The only things that can be relied on are ability and luck. History will not repeat itself, but its underlying laws are the same. Regardless of domestic governance or international confrontation, there are actually traces to follow.

Am I addicted after reading this? Yes. This collection of articles, originally published on the author's WeChat official account and widely praised, records the path to the end of the Qing Dynasty in a comprehensive and horizontal dimension. National humiliation and dynasty decline are not a history that Chinese people want to recall, or are ashamed of; but the author also points out that great changes in history hide unknown secrets; and it is the author's responsibility to explain the logic, and understanding the inner laws is also a prerequisite for us as a Chinese to undertake the mission of cultural rejuvenation. For historical figures, the author does not give clear evaluations of love and hate, such as Emperor Guangxu, who made unintended comments from Kangliang, Cixi and later generations. It can be seen that history itself has its own inherent logic of evolution. The so-called heroes and defeaters are just choices that go with the times and against the trend.

As the name suggests, this book is really addictive. You can see the author's solid literary and historical skills between the lines, and the division of the article is also very interesting. It is not a regular time division model, but divides the thousands of years of China's magnificent history from six new perspectives: power, historical turning point, reform, struggle, temperament (or feelings), and emotion, and each division or each period of history, each When introducing characters, the author summarizes and evaluates them from his own perspective. For example, when he talks about Zeng Guopan, he does not talk about Zeng Guopan's famous official and political period, but talks about Zeng Guopan who has been less understanding than others since he was a child. He may not be able to understand the knowledge that others can learn in a day, but as long as he has free time, he will read and recite books. In the end, his diligence made him successful. His spirit of never giving up can also inspire those who come after him. There are many people like Zeng Guopan in the book who specifically show the "ordinary moments" in history. To a certain extent, this book also encourages ordinary people to learn from their ancestors, and they can succeed even if they are not geniuses.

A small fire was unintentionally planted many years ago, which resulted in an unimaginable major change, as happens in every dynasty.

Create a new era of style and pass on the hard teachings. Pour a few glasses of new wine, Enjoy the past and the present. The expansion of thinking and the elevation of horizons. Great book! ! !

This book is very good. Why was the previous one removed from the shelves? I hope this book won't be taken off the shelves
