Throughout the past dynasties, population issues have always been the key to China's historical development. Population is not only related to war strength, but also inseparable from food production, finance and taxation, and the number of taxes and servitude. The policy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business that has been used since the Qin Dynasty may seem pedantic, but in fact it is to ensure the growth of the country's population; the reason why the Tang Dynasty was able to rapidly An important reason for the rapid creation of a prosperous age was the absorption of millions of foreign people; the population of more than 100 million allowed the Southern Song Dynasty to survive in the cracks of Mongolia and Jin for 152 years; the Ming Dynasty's clan population of up to 200,000 ruined the finances and accelerated the demise of the Ming Dynasty. The nomadic peoples are constantly at war with the Central Plains. The fundamental reason is that they must obtain prisoners of war through wars and replenish their population... The history of population is a condensed history of China, and population is a key to the true history. It not only affects China's past, but will also determine its future direction. Open this book and Fudan University professor Ge Jianxiong will take you to look at Chinese history from a population perspective.

Where did China's long history begin? How did Chinese civilization take root and thrive and endure for a long time? How did the Chinese nation thrive and develop into a big family of fifty-six ethnic groups today? Professor Ge Jianxiong's dozens of new works in recent years, with his profound historical accumulation and unique practical insights, tell the origin and development of Chinese civilization from the oracle bones and bronzes that carry the dawn of civilization, to the Yellow River and Yangtze River that gave birth to countless splendid cultures, to the canals and the Silk Road that influence regional and world exchanges. This is not only a review of history, but also an in-depth discussion of cultural self-confidence, guiding us to rethink the foundation and future of Chinese culture in the complex and ever-changing present.

The Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation. Since ancient times, the tranquility of the Yellow River has been the guarantee and symbol of the people's peaceful and contented life and the country's prosperity. So, why is the Yellow River said to be the mother river? What is its relationship with the Chinese nation, how did it give birth to a glorious civilization, how did it form its unique look, and how should it be governed? Ge Jianxiong, a senior professor at Fudan University and a librarian of the Central Museum of Literature and History, wrote the book "The Yellow River and Chinese Civilization" to answer these questions. Professor Ge Jianxiong was the former director of the Institute of Historical Geography at Fudan University and is a first-class expert in the field of historical geography. He studied under Mr. Tan Qixiang and has been paying attention to the field of river culture for many years. The "Introduction" section at the beginning of the book explains the relationship between rivers and human civilization from a high level, providing sufficient evidence for Yellow River management and the importance of the Yellow River from a theoretical perspective. The following eight chapters will first sort out the overall geography of the Yellow River, and then narrate the historical evolution and geographical changes of the Yellow River from various aspects such as how the Yellow River gave birth to Chinese civilization, ancient people's investigation and understanding of the Yellow River, why the Yellow River is turbid and prone to flooding, and how Chinese people have managed the Yellow River since ancient times, showing the close connection between the Yellow River and Chinese civilization. It contains both detailed data and theoretical heights, as well as professional geographical mapping and many magnificent aerial photographs.

The ever-changing river, the "unchanged" China. Ge Jianxiong, a historian and senior professor at Fudan University, talks about the blood and spirit of Chinese history, looking for the origin and flow of Chinese history in the rise and fall, inheritance and changes. If we compare ancient China to a complex and complex collaborative system like the human body, then the land is its skeleton, people are its flesh and blood, and the court and politics are its nerve centers. The long history of China has continued and developed in the process of their mutual influence and integration, and it has become the China we have today.
