This book explores my country's own knowledge system of world history, guided by Marx's "world history" theory, and explains the objective fact that both horizontal and vertical development of world history are intertwined. The author emphasizes that "Western-centrism" should be abandoned in writing world history, attention should be paid to the history of other regions and civilizations in the world except for a few major countries, and attention should be paid to the history of human interaction and the formation process of "world history."
