Reader comments
In the past, when I read pre-Qin classics, I was often confused. After reading this book, I suddenly felt like I could see the sun through the clouds. How difficult it is to pass on thousands of years of history to this day. Scholars of all ages have accumulated hundreds of years of efforts to unearth an almost legendary dynasty from the ground. What a miracle it is. I cover my head and sigh with emotion.
This book gave me a deeper understanding of the society during the Yin and Shang Dynasties. The author, Mr. Hu Houxuan, devoted his life to this, and his son Hu Zhenyu inherited his father's business. This academic inheritance is admirable. The growth experience of Mr. Hu Houxuan in the book is also very inspiring. It reminded me of Sima Qian in "Ghostface History Lesson", who also worked hard in a difficult environment and finally achieved something successful. This "History of the Yin and Shang Dynasties" and "Ghost Face History Lesson" are both masterpieces worth reading.
