The author, Mr. Wang Zijin, sorted out and examined important historical phenomena that had common features in the history of the founding of ancient China, covering the three basic models of the founding of ancient dynasties, the opportunities and crisis response strategies of the founding monarchs, the redistribution of founding power and the policy adjustment of the hero's governance, offense and defense, the coordination of civil and military affairs at the beginning of the founding of the country, the handover of the ruling power of the first and second generations of the founding monarch, and the development of the country. We should explore important historical issues such as the role of the villain on the stage of national history, the policy theory of "concession policy" or "counterattack and reckoning". We should break away from the conventional thinking of political history that simply summarizes the experience and lessons of success and failure. We should study the "rise and fall" with the motivation of in-depth exploration of social history and cultural history. We can draw new branches from the surface of the similar cycle of dynasty replacement in ancient China and summarize the understanding with certain regular significance.

"History of the Reform" briefly reviews and introduces the history of the Reform, hoping to enhance the understanding of the overall appearance of Chinese history and culture through the understanding and summary of the reforms of the past dynasties.
