Ruling the world with documents is a prominent feature of the ancient Chinese state bureaucracy, and the differences in information communication and processing mechanisms in different periods also reveal their different era personalities and power operation methods.

This book combs through the multiple channels of information communication that coexisted and competed with each other in the Song Dynasty. It analyzes the power operation mechanism under the political structure of the scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty starting from the daily administrative documents of the emperor and ministers such as imperial approval, provincial letters, and approval petitions, as well as the refutation system for decision-making behaviors.

Official account books and documents unearthed from Turpan such as the silk account provided by Beiliang Jizun, the colorful carpet account of Kan's Gaochang County, the Gaochang County update book of Xizhou in the Tang Dynasty, and the money collection copy of Beiting envoys during the Kaiyuan period further prove that Gaochang County was established in the Turpan region of Xinjiang more than 2,000 years ago and the county system was implemented. Its political, economic and cultural processes have been integrated with the mainland and are inseparable. Not only that, but it often set the precedent for change in certain fields. Major institutional changes in the Tang Dynasty such as the vassal system and the eunuch-supervised military system that had a profound impact on later generations all originated here.

In 1911, the American geologist Rollin T. Chamberlin published a photo of the encounter between the stage and the camera in the small town of Dujiangyan in National Geographic magazine, allowing the West and the East to look at each other through the lens in history. Taking this as a starting point, this book comprehensively reviews National Geographic magazine's reports on China over more than a hundred years, focusing on humanistic stories and geographical landscapes at different historical stages, and giving multiple reading perspectives to the silent words and images spanning a century. The book focuses on the "corner of the Southwest" and sorts out four themes related to the image of the Southwest, covering plant geography, road transportation, ecological civilization and national culture. It uses cross-cultural and literary anthropology research methods to reflect on the multiple veils in cultural writing and explore the changes in regional civilization from different disciplinary perspectives.

The maintenance of a country depends on the extraction of resources. The methods of resource extraction correspond to different national governance models. Traditional China had a vast territory with various regional differences. Constrained by the backward transportation, rudimentary technical means and information capabilities at that time, how did the rulers draw resources across the country? This book starts with a number of variables that affect the country's resource extraction model, such as importance, scarcity, transaction costs, social effects, the country's bargaining power and multi-subjectivity. Combined with the characteristics of mining costs increasing over time, it discusses the Qing Dynasty's mineral resource extraction situation through rich and detailed historical materials. While revealing the Qing Dynasty's mining policy model and its inherent flaws, it also discusses several important principles and aspects of national governance at that time. Based on the above empirical facts, this book further connects the Ming and Qing dynasties' acquisition patterns of important materials such as salt, silk, porcelain, and horses. Combined with the general background of national transformation from the 15th to the 18th century, this book reveals the logic and dilemma of national governance in the Qing Dynasty by elucidating concepts such as "central comprehensive decision-making mechanism," "suspicious decision-making," "administrative information creation," and "case-based principles."

In the changing situation of the Anti-Japanese War, East China was in a complex state where frontal battlefields and battlefields behind enemy lines coexisted, and the Wang puppet regime, the Kuomintang regime, and the CCP's anti-Japanese base area regimes coexisted.

This book is the first collection of book reviews on archeology and history by anthropologist Zhang Jingwei.

In this sense, the many comments in this collection can not only help us better "understand" documents from a new perspective and reflect on current archaeological and historical research results, but also allow researchers on Chinese civilization to have a broader vision and mind.

During the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, Luoyang rose to a new peak. Luoyang has been the capital for thousands of years. During this period, it was either the Eastern Capital, the Divine Capital, the Western Capital or the Capital. Luoyang was the eastern starting point of the Silk Road, adding to its identity as the center of the Grand Canal in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Luoyang peonies are emerging, and the Peony Flower City has begun. During this period, the emperors either visited Luoyang many times or stayed there for a long time, taking advantage of Luoyang's convenient conditions as "the center of the world" to rule the country and command the world. Luoyang is connected to the rest of the world. Leaders, envoys, merchants, monks, overseas students, and sailors from surrounding ethnic groups move, settle, and are buried here. Here there is a gathering of people, bright stars, prosperous economy and exquisite craftsmanship. During the long period of peaceful singing and dancing, there were also turmoils of swords and wars. The vicissitudes of history in Luoyang during the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties are woven with glory and sadness.

Thank you for your invitation. I am in Xuzhou. I have just escaped from the pursuit of Cao Jun. I have been hungry for three days and three nights. The eyes of my fellow villagers have begun to glow green. There is another team in front of me. I don't know what is embroidered on the flag... "No one can be Cao Cao except Liu Yuzhou!" "The Jiangdong has been leveled and the Central Plains is in turmoil. Go straight to Xuchang!" "He has outstanding majesty and the strategy of a king. I respect Liu Xuande." "A benevolent king must be invincible!" In short... Cao Cao! The blood feud will be avenged today! (Partially loyal to Shi Xiang, and voted for Liu)

This book is an attempt by Chinese and Western scholars to jointly write the history of Christianity in China. It aims to learn from and integrate the Chinese and Western research methods and results that have emerged in the past 30 years. Through two parts: chronicle and thematic history, it strives to present a readable, accurate, and interdisciplinary history of Christianity in China to help us better understand the historical phenomenon of the sinicization of Christianity. Today in the 21st century, when people look back at the history of Christianity from the West to the East from a cross-cultural perspective, they will find that it has gone through a long process of adjustment in Chinese society, during which there were cultural collisions and agitation, as well as frustration and discomfort; there were ideological confrontations and oppositions, as well as understanding and recognition. Although Christianity has limited influence in China, it is an important example of cross-cultural communication. The Sinicization of Christianity proves that China is not a closed country. Even if Christianity is very different from the local culture, it can be absorbed and evolved into Chinese Christianity, thus becoming a part of Chinese history and culture.
