General History of China

"General History of China" is Mr. Lu Simian's famous historical work. It is also the general history of China written in vernacular in the first part of our country's history. In the history of modern historiography in my country, Lu Simian is a historian who has made significant contributions in many fields such as general history, chronological history and special history. His historical research covers all eras, looks at all fields, and is good at comprehensive research and integration. Lu Simian is recognized in the history circle as a scholar who has read a lot of old books. He has read the Twenty-Four Histories many times and has become a good talk among his academic colleagues. He is a master of history highly respected by Yi Zhongtian and a respected mentor of Qian Mu. He has a profound foundation in Chinese studies and a vivid interest in history. "General History of China" is divided into upper and lower parts. The upper part focuses on cultural phenomena, while the lower part connects them in historical order, sorting out historical knowledge more systematically while sorting out the rise and fall. Mr. Lu wrote this book during the Anti-Japanese War, and it was written to meet the needs of university teaching at that time. Now it seems that this special style is still very helpful for beginners to systematically grasp all aspects of history. "General History of China" is permeated with Lu Simian's spirit of using new methods and new ideas to sort out the old country. Tan Qixiang said that Lu Simian was "a famous historian and a master of Tongjing, Zi and Ji". Yan Gengwang said that Lu Simian's political history "runs through all eras and covers all fields", which is also the main feature of this book. Gu Jiegang commented that this book "writes general history with rich historical knowledge and smooth writing style, which will usher in a new era of general history writing."
