This book is the compiled version of the first volume of Mr. Lu Simian's famous work "General History of China by Lu". It systematically describes the origin and evolution of marriage, clan system, political system, official system, taxation, military system, criminal law, food, clothing, housing and transportation, education, religion, culture and academics in ancient Chinese society in many categories. Mr. Lu Simian uses a historian's perspective to provide a comprehensive explanation of each theme, with many unique insights. Mr. Gu Jiegang therefore commented on this book: "It describes cultural phenomena in categories, and includes discussions in the narrative. It criticizes China's culture and system purely from the standpoint of social science, and there are many groundbreaking new theories."
