Yi Zhongtian’s Chinese History (24-Volume Set)

The logic is clear, but the mix of Eastern and Western cultures is a bit absurd.

In fact, Teacher Yi's book tells history in his own way. If you have read the Twenty-Four Histories or other ancient world histories, this book is not very readable. But for ordinary people, Teacher Yi's summarizing ability is particularly strong. He can summarize a very complicated matter in concise language and in a clear manner, which is very helpful for beginners. However, I personally think that the way he writes is sometimes a bit convoluted and not concise enough. And I personally don't agree with many of the views in the book. Therefore, I personally feel that we should not pay attention to too many opinions in the book, but focus more on the popularization of knowledge.

You don't have to agree with his thoughts. You might even think that he is superficial in some areas. But you can't deny that his views on some issues give you a unique perspective on thinking. So it's a very good book.

In fact, whether it is the Bible, Nuwa, or the creation descriptions of other cultures, they are all talking about one thing and one ethnic group. That's what happened in the tens of thousands of years since Homo sapiens left Africa. Except for the human groups in Africa, people all over the world are the same people who came out of Africa tens of thousands of years ago. With the same genes, they parted ways at intersections again and again, and became entangled with each other. Some branches could not adapt to the new environment and were exterminated by Homo erectus who came out of Africa earlier. Some were exterminated by the later Homo sapiens. At the same time, as the later Homo sapiens, all the Homo erectus who left Africa as early as 2 million years ago were exterminated and merged. Then over the next tens of thousands of years, it evolved into various appearance features to adapt to various environments. Mr. Yi is quite conventional, not innovative but lively.

Teacher Yi Zhongtian led me to understand part of Chinese history and even world history in a humorous and easy-to-understand way. The whole article is well-founded and is a good book.

I couldn't stop reading it. I became addicted. This book is so beautiful and fascinating that I couldn't put it down. In the future, I will buy the physical book and keep it at home. It would be great if there is a hardcover collector's edition in the future.

It's eloquent and well organized, a rare good book!

I don't fully agree, but I do have my own thoughts. Come on, Master Yi.

I spent hundreds of dollars to buy a physical book, and I feel so bad [crying][crying][crying]

After reading about Why Naked Ape, Mr. Yi explained it well and let me know that culture can still be borrowed. Myths belong to the world😅😅 I feel sick to my stomach, so forgive me for not being able to read any more. Please go ahead...
