The Ming-Qing Dynasty Revolution that occurred in the mid-17th century was a major political event in Chinese history. Its impact was not limited to China, but also affected the entire East Asia region, changing the international relations and political structure of East Asia. Not only that, news of the Ding Dynasty in the Ming and Qing Dynasties spread to Europe through Western missionaries and merchants in China, arousing widespread attention from all walks of life in European politics, religion, business, and culture, thus leading to changes in Europe's views on China and China-Europe relations. In other words, the Ming-Qing Dynasty Revolution was not only a domestic event, but also a regional political change event, and to a certain extent, it was also a global event. This book breaks through the framework of national history and re-studies the Ming-Qing Dynasty Revolution from the perspective of East Asian regional history and even global history. The collected papers present the different impacts of the Ming-Qing Dynasty Revolution on East Asia and even the world from multiple perspectives such as local, peripheral, East Asian, global, military, cultural, and bilateral relations, thereby placing the Ming-Qing Dynasty Revolution, a political event that occurred in China, into a broader historical context.

Research on the history of ideas in the global academic community has generally declined, but only in mainland China, the history of ideas has always attracted great attention, because the connection between ideas and society, history and the present is too deep. In the review of ancient ideas, modern values ​​have gained historical legitimacy. In recent years, the changes in the field of Chinese historical research of "going beyond doubting the past", "returning to the lower class", and "discovering foreigners" have given opportunities for change in the study of China's intellectual history. The Institute of Literature and History of Fudan University can jointly organize a seminar on "New Horizons in the Study of Chinese Intellectual and Cultural History" with the Chinese Department of the National University of Singapore to try to explore the possibility of rewriting the history of ideas.
