The Bashu History Research Association (later renamed the Bashu Culture Research Association) was established in 1979. Mr. Zhang Xiushu was the first president and Mr. Yang Xizong was the second president. In 2001, Mr. Li Youming, who was actually responsible for the specific work, advocated a younger generation, and Luo Zhitian, a professor at Sichuan University, succeeded him as president. In 2018, there was another change of office, and Xu Lianggong, a professor at Sichuan University, took over as president. Shortly after the establishment of the research association, the "Bashu History Research Series" was edited and published in 1981, focusing on the cultural, political, economic, ethnic and other issues of the Bashu region before the unification of Qin. Professor Xu Lianggong thought that the book needed to be reprinted urgently, and Sichuan People's Publishing House was happy to help, so the new edition was created.

In ancient times, in ordinary people's minds, there were all kinds of magnificent and moving myths and legends, such as Pangu created the world, Nuwa skillfully mended the sky, Fuxi created the Eight Trigrams, Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs, Yao and Shun abdicated, Dayu controlled the floods, etc. For thousands of years, these legends have been regarded as trustworthy history and influenced generations of people. But, is that really the case? There are also the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. Apart from Xia Qi seizing the throne, Shang Tang annihilating Jie, King Wen defeating Zhou, as well as the stories of kings, saints and virtuous ministers such as Bigan gouging out his heart, Jiang Shang fishing, Zhou Gong spitting out food, and the specious characterization of a "slave society", there seems to be no other deep imprint in the memory. However, is this period of history that lasted almost two thousand years really nothing more than that? Qian Mu's Bole, the teacher of Tan Qixiang, Tong Shuye, Yang Xiangkui, Bai Shouyi and other historical masters, and the historian Gu Jiegang, who has long been the number one in the history of the Republic of China, started his lectures with sincerity and ease. It turns out that the true meaning of antiquity is not the legend of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, nor the stories of sages and saints written by King Tang and Wen of Shang Dynasty, but the birth of "China" and "Country" that are connected by our blood...

Why was the Song Dynasty, which was extremely prosperous and powerful, always suppressed by foreigners? Or you can also ask the other way around, how could the Song Dynasty, which was always invaded by foreign races, still be prosperous and prosperous?

In ancient times, in ordinary people's minds, there were all kinds of magnificent and moving myths and legends, such as Pangu created the world, Nuwa skillfully mended the sky, Fuxi created the Eight Trigrams, Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs, Yao and Shun abdicated, Dayu controlled the floods, etc. For thousands of years, these legends have been regarded as trustworthy history and influenced generations of people. What is the situation close to reality? During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, apart from the stories of Xia Qi seizing the throne, Shang Tang annihilating Jie, King Wen defeating Zhou, and the stories of Bigan gouging out his heart, Jiang Shang fishing, and Zhou Gong spitting out food, as well as the specious characterization of a "slave society", there seems to be no other deep imprint in the memory. Is this period of history that lasts almost two thousand years really nothing more than that? It is said that there were many assassins during the Spring and Autumn Period. For example, in 712 BC, Minister Yu Fu of the State of Lu sent an assassin to stab Duke Yin of Lu to death; in 611 BC, Mrs. Xiang sent an assassin to stab to death her grandson Duke Zhao of Song; in 607 BC, members of the powerful minister Zhao Dun of Jin stabbed Duke Ling of Jin to death; however, why were similar regicide scenes frequently staged during the Spring and Autumn Period? ... Qian Mu's Bole, the teacher of masters of history such as Tan Qixiang, Tong Shuye, Yang Xiangkui, and Bai Shouyi, and the historian Gu Jiegang, who has long held the top position in the field of ancient history in the Republic of China, started his lectures with sincerity and relaxed, telling the truth and falsehood of ancient legends, the division and convergence of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the fierce conquests of Song and Mongolia.
