In this masterpiece, which the author wrote in one go in his early years and was updated in his later years, he shows the extraordinary knowledge and talent of a scholar, as well as his increasingly perfect "final conclusions" in his later years. It can be seen how his knowledge merged into a sea in the long river of time. With solid and profound academic foundation, sharp and diverse exploration vision, and fluent words with witty words, the book explains the concept of history from the history itself, systematically discusses and provides thought-provoking research and speculation. The book has a unique explanation of how or whether Chinese history and ancient thought can emerge from the Middle Ages. It fully demonstrates that the author not only grasps the academic accomplishments of Chinese history yesterday and the day before yesterday, but also embodies his humanistic spirit of caring about today and tomorrow of human society. It has been more than 30 years since this book was first published, and its influence has been lasting. It has also been translated into English and widely circulated. Later, the author revised the original work, added a large amount of content, and adjusted the ordering from a perspective that better demonstrated the continuity of historical time and space, thus becoming a more complete and sophisticated masterpiece by famous artists than the first edition. Most of Mr. Zhu Weizheng's classic works have been out of print for several years. This time, there are eight new collections ("Out of the Middle Ages", "Out of the Middle Ages Part 2", "Undecided Tradition", "Huli Spring and Autumn", "Searching for True Civilization", "Ten Lectures on the History of Chinese Confucian Classics", "On Confucius", "Huli Spring and Autumn Part 2"), which were compiled and edited by Mr. Zhu's students. Designed by cutting-edge designers, from cover to layout, it gives readers a refreshing feel.

This collection is a continuation of Mr. Zhu Weizheng's "Spring and Autumn in the Huli". The collected texts are all written by Mr. Zhu after 2000. Most of them are articles and unpublished manuscripts published in various media but never published. It is also accompanied by a transcript of the recording of the last lesson of Mr. Zhu's 52-year teaching career.

In the book "The Undecided Tradition", the author shows a longer and more patient knowledge and outlook. Broadening the horizon to the entire Chinese historical tradition, which historian would not want to try his sword in a panoramic historical perspective? Not only does history not prove that China has had an unchanging tradition since Confucius, but it only proves that so-called traditions are always subject to changes in time and space continuity. As long as we look at history calmly, we will find this normality: at a certain historical stage, time and space are often misaligned. How to view and study this situation? During his decades of academic career, Mr. Zhu Weizheng has always emphasized that to conduct any kind of research, you must first understand the "what" of the object, and then you can investigate the "why". His "falsification" research, which turns many common senses that people take for granted into mysteries that need to be solved, makes many colleagues "hate" him, but he has won the recognition and respect of serious scholars at home and abroad and even ordinary readers. This book is the embodiment of Mr. Zhu's mentality of "believing but hesitating, believing and hesitating" towards the status quo. Most of Mr. Zhu Weizheng's classic works have been out of print for several years. This time, there are eight new collections ("Out of the Middle Ages", "Out of the Middle Ages Part 2", "Undecided Tradition", "Huli Spring and Autumn", "Searching for True Civilization", "Ten Lectures on the History of Chinese Confucian Classics", "On Confucius", "Huli Spring and Autumn Part 2"), which were compiled and edited by Mr. Zhu's students.
