Reader note

The Middle Ages was not a dark time, but a colorful time. The Middle Ages were a testing ground for ideas to understand the changes between ancient and modern times and the differences between China and the West. Following the "Outline of Western History" and "Outline of Roman History", Li Jun once again changed his writing concepts and techniques, using 20 years of academic skills to carefully build a colorful medieval museum for readers. Entering this novel museum, "Vikings", "Knights", "Witches", "Alchemy" and "The Black Death" hit you face to face. Li Jun uses these typical and interesting medieval topics to help readers establish an initial impression of the Middle Ages. Then, Li Jun used five thematic exhibition rooms of "Empire", "Church", "Kingdom", "University" and "City" to systematically show readers the unique evolution of many contexts in the Middle Ages. He brilliantly presented the spectacular diverse eras in human history, effectively revealed the historical logic of the modern world emerging from the Middle Ages, and at the same time delicately tasted with readers the historical wisdom of finding self-positioning from "chaos".
