This book tells the story of how the Ottoman Empire incorporated many ethnic groups into one ruling system and coexisted for a long time, integrating many civilizations with each other and avoiding the short-lived fate of nomadic empires that suddenly rose and fell. The main clue of this book is: What made the Ottoman Empire survive for 600 years despite the attacks from the East and the West? How did the Ottoman Empire, located at the crossroads of civilizations, extensively absorb the achievements of Eastern and Western civilizations and combine the cultural characteristics of farming peoples and nomadic peoples to create a unique Ottoman civilization? The author's answers to the above questions also serve as a reference for the rejuvenation of Chinese civilization.
