Why was China able to unify during the historical development of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and remained unified for most of the next two thousand years, while Europe remained divided after the fall of the Roman Empire, and gave birth to modern capitalism after the 16th and 17th centuries? These issues have long been the focus and hot spots of scholars at home and abroad. The author of this book is a representative scholar who has discussed this issue in recent years and has a high reputation at home and abroad. This book is a collection of the author's representative articles on this topic. From the perspective of political sociology and historical sociology, based on the author's three-factor analysis framework of change, structure, and discourse, it explores the reasons for the differences in historical development models between China and the West in pre-modern times.
