Books with Depth That Make Me Think
I'm looking for something with solid logic, not a brainless fluffy romance, with major twists and foreshadowing, and an expansive world.

Historical Strategy
I would like to read a book similar to "Strategy for Reading History". It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen

Just like Yelu Chucai's prediction of the lunar eclipse, I felt the rigor of science and the charm of seeking knowledge. I love books like this that both teach me about the past and inspire me to think about the present. Moreover, some of the views in the book are also helpful for me when I am about to get married. For example, the ancients' views on marriage and family made me cherish the people in front of me even more. Recommended to you!
The author is knowledgeable, well-read, quotes scriptures, and tells the life of the ancients in simple and easy-to-understand terms.
The wisdom of the ancients was profound and profound. Although they treated women a little harshly, they were deeply attracted by their culture and wanted to experience it [exploration]
2026.8.9.8.00 It seemed like a good way to pass the time. Looking back, it does have a bit of depth and content. What seems to be an unbelievable idea is actually the way the ancients dealt with real-life problems. We always criticize the ancients based on modern standards of sufficient material and transparent information, but ignore the desperate situation that they had to face famine, hard labor, war, and no medical support throughout their lives. It is not an obsession for the poor to have more children, it is the lowest-cost social security in the farming era: children are the labor force and the only source of support in old age. All traditional concepts, taboos, and common sayings were originally designed to solve practical problems such as food and clothing, risk avoidance, stability maintenance, and clan continuation. They are wrapped in a superstitious shell with strong utilitarianism and practicality. Pretty good.
The content is very substantial and has a lot of useful information.
Reasonable and well-founded, combining ancient and modern times, not bad
Sometimes it's the ancients' ideas, sometimes it's the author's ideas!
It's very beautiful, especially if you look at it in confusion, there are a lot of receipts
It's well written, simple and clear, but some questions are not detailed enough. Of course, this is not a professional medical book, it's okay for a popular science book.
An interesting popular science book
