An absurd dynasty history that subverts cognition! The Sima family started to dominate the world, but then fell into madness and internal strife: the stupid emperor Sima Zhong came to the court, the ugly queen was in chaos, and the eight kings took turns to kill each other. They fought against each other for sixteen years, turning the country upside down and turning the Central Plains into a purgatory in the turmoil. As soon as the three kingdoms were unified, they started fighting among themselves like crazy. They fought until the country was broken, and they fought until they all died together. Other families compete with each other to see who is richer, while the Jin Dynasty competes with others to see who is more "indifferent to human life". The so-called celebrity demeanor is actually the morbid and wild state that occurs after taking Five Stone Powder. Open this book and see how the Jin Dynasty came to an end in madness!

The Silk Road is a road of great significance that promotes the progress of human civilization. It is first of all the result of "human" activities, and human activities are bound to be reflected in literature. Literature is the image reflection and emotional projection of human social life. The development and changes of literature are a barometer of social and historical development and changes. Literature is the aesthetic expression of human social history. When human society had the Silk Road, it also had literature reflecting the Silk Road. This road of economic trade, cultural exchange, and mutual learning among civilizations has long been the object of literary expression.

The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period (220-589 AD) was one of the complex periods in Chinese history. Written by scholars from across the globe, the essays in this volume cover virtually every aspect of the period, including politics, foreign relations, war, agriculture, gender, art, philosophy, material culture, local society, and music. These articles argue that this was a period of change in which Chinese culture underwent significant changes and enrichment under the influence of foreign ideas. This was also a time when history and literature were recognized as independent disciplines, and religion was transformed through the indigenization of Buddhism and the formation of organized Taoism. Many trends in later ancient Chinese history stem from this era, such as the commercial dynamism of southern China, the separation of history and literature from classical studies, and the growing importance of women in politics and religion.

The dynasty has not yet come to an end, so how can people at that time smell the "mid-century" atmosphere? Why did the various ideas for debugging bad government become the origin of new bad government, so that it is difficult to return? During the Jiaqing and Daoist dynasties, peace lasted for a long time, but changes began to appear. One of the symptoms was that the long-standing disadvantages became increasingly prominent and conformity pervaded the world. Tao Shu, Hong Liangji, Chen Hongmou, Bao Shichen, Wei Yuan and other capable officials in governance were all keenly aware of the overall state of the era, and during this specific "political time", they repeatedly thought about the generation mechanism of the dilemma, hoping to reverse the situation with the debugging of institutional concepts, but things went counterproductive. This book tells the past events in the field of political and ideological history before the Qing Dynasty was about to collapse. It faced the anxious moment of the emperor and the bureaucrats when all kinds of changes were ineffective. As part of the "political gains and losses of China's past dynasties," the various crises and responses within the country in the mid-Qing Dynasty also heralded the eventual arrival of a special moment in the dynastic cycle to a considerable extent.

Starting from the small and subtle "tattoo", this book mainly discusses the military punishment system and its operating mode of the Song Dynasty hidden behind the explicit cultural symbol and identity mark of tattoo, as well as the social life of ordinary soldiers in the Song Dynasty that was deeply affected by it. As the military service system in the Tang Dynasty gradually changed from the government army system to the recruitment system, professional soldiers emerged as an emerging social class. Tattoos in the Tang Dynasty were punishments and humiliations for those who committed crimes. By the Song Dynasty, with the rapid growth of the population and the expansion of the military system, professional soldiers had become an extremely large social group. The size of the army in the Song Dynasty made military tattoos a huge social phenomenon. At this stage, the peak of criminal punishment and military tattoos was formed. Tattoos were widely used in the army and became a universal symbol of the status of soldiers. This book selects sailor groups, military families, tattooed generals, and military groups composed of marginalized groups such as refugees, criminals, poor people, and homeless people as narrative objects. It tells the rise and decline of the tattoo era, and analyzes the expansion of the army under the consensus of "emphasis on culture over military affairs" in the Song Dynasty and the discrimination and shortcomings suffered by military personnel. Transformation and isolation, the contradiction between the imperial elites (scholars and officials) who came from the imperial examination and the tattooed soldiers - the emerging lower class, as well as the antagonism and conflict between the Song Empire and surrounding ethnic groups, it can be concluded that "the new social class with the tattooed soldiers as the pillar was formed through the exploitation of the Song Dynasty state's punitive military complex."

In 280 AD, the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed Wu, ending the Three Kingdoms era. Although the Western Jin Dynasty completed the great cause of unification, the imperial power has weakened since the end of the Han Dynasty and the rule is not stable. The hundred years of chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty led to ideological collapse, and the power of traditional Confucianism to safeguard imperial power weakened, laying the foundation for unrest. At the same time, the imperial power of the Western Jin Dynasty declined, and the fragile power system quickly collapsed in the power struggle. In the end, the Eight Kings Rebellion broke out and the situation got out of control. The Western Jin Dynasty was unable to control its own destiny, and ran like a wild horse running toward destruction in the chaos and turmoil. "The Out-of-control Dynasty: 50 Years of the Rise and Fall of the Western Jin Dynasty" unfolds from important historical events such as the Sima Dynasty to the Wei Dynasty, the defeat of Shu and the Wu Dynasty, the Eight Kings Rebellion, and the Yongjia Rebellion, and clearly combs the historical context of the establishment, development, and collapse of the Western Jin Dynasty. This book unearths the truth about the rise and fall hidden behind the surface from the details of historical data, and analyzes the underlying reasons for the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty from multiple dimensions such as ideology, politics, and war, allowing readers to fully understand this dynasty that was briefly unified but quickly collapsed.

The fall of each dynasty has its own special story. On March 16, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Youjian, Emperor Sizong of the Ming Dynasty, received the news that Juyong Pass had been lost, he would not have thought that he only had seventy-two hours left to live, let alone that it was his own people who were forcing him step by step up to Meishan. This book focuses on the historical details of the fall of the Ming Dynasty. The turmoil inside and outside Beijing seems to be impregnable, but in fact it is wrapped up in an incredible conspiracy. The eunuchs, civil servants, and nobles who actually control the situation in Beijing are intrigues and intrigues, and everyone is planning for themselves. Life and death, loyalty and betrayal gradually become clear in the face of the great rights and wrongs of history.

The New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty is an area in which research on modern Chinese history has achieved fruitful results in recent years. With the deepening of relevant research, the role and value of the Manchu and Mongolian elites in the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty and the changes of the times have been re-examined. This book takes Duanfang's reform measures during the changes in the late Qing Dynasty as the object of investigation, and is a further deepening of previous research. The author examines Duan Fang in the tortuous and complicated historical process of the late Qing Dynasty, using his life as the warp and his thoughts as the latitude, and strives to examine his role in the changes in the late Qing Dynasty from the aspects of political change, industrial innovation, and educational innovation.

The tributary system originated in the pre-Qin era, developed in the Han and Tang dynasties, and reached its perfection in the Ming Dynasty. It is based on the payment of tribute by the Siyi vassal states and the canonization and rewards of the Chinese court as the suzerain. It is an important means for the Chinese dynasties to "control" the Siyi people and "accommodate the distant people". This book contains a total of 28 papers on the study of the vassal and tribute system in ancient China. From multiple perspectives, it sorts out how the Chinese dynasties (pre-Qin to Ming and Qing) communicated with the "Siyi vassal states", and how they established and implemented the tribute system and developed foreign relations. Many experience summaries still have reference significance for the development of foreign relations and handling of international conflicts at the current stage. The manuscript is divided into three parts. The articles included in the first part mainly discuss the vassal and tribute system from a theoretical level. For example, Li Dalong's "Theoretical Origins and Characteristics of the Times of the Tribute System" concluded through combing that the tribute system that has been passed down through the ages in our country originated from the pre-Qin Chinese central consciousness, the concept of great unification, and the way of dealing with neighbors of "big things and small things". The articles collected in the second part mainly discuss the policies adopted by my country's dynasties in dealing with foreign relations. For example, Cheng Nina systematically sorted out the tribute activities of the Sushen, Yilou, Wuji, Mohe and other ethnic groups from the Han to the Tang Dynasty, thus revealing the actual state of the central dynasty's control of the northeastern frontier. The third part is book reviews and review articles, which mainly introduce monographs and papers on the study of ancient China's foreign relations, vassal system and its historical evolution, and present the research trends in related fields.

This book is one of the series "Historians Tell History". When the teacher was studying history, he said: "When the Han Dynasty was competing with the Xiongnu... Things were changing and talents emerged in large numbers, which is a joy to read." The era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was an era of passion and aggressiveness, an era in which the people's work and struggle achieved rich harvests. With the courage and courage of "an extraordinary man" to do "extraordinary things", Emperor Wu carried out feats such as "sending troops to the Xiongnu", "opening the road to the Western Regions", "South Vietnam surrendering", "Yelang entering the dynasty", "North Korea setting up a county", and "Heavenly Horse Coming to the West". During this period, local separatist forces were eliminated, and Chu culture, Qin culture, and Qilu culture completed the historical process of confluence, forming the Han culture, the basic cultural form of our nation. The Han brocade text found on the Silk Road "climb high and see clearly across the sea" reflects the broad mind and enterprising spirit of Han culture in facing the world during this period. The stories of outstanding figures in various fields of society during the same period show us a historical picture of ancient China with shining stars, strong cultural rise, and vibrant society. In addition, the author does not shy away from using "the women of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" and "cultivating cruel officials" to present the multiple aspects of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

As the title of the book "Emperors, Civil Service Officials and Military Generals of the Song Dynasty" shows, the emperor wrote about Taizu and Taizong, the founders of the Song Dynasty, and also conducted a special investigation on the "Candle Shadow and Ax Sound" incident, which can be called an eternal mystery; the civil servants wrote about Zhong Yan, a model for scholar-bureaucrats, Zhao Yan, the "Iron-faced Censor", and "Taiping".

In an era, various trends of thought and styles of study will become popular. This phenomenon of diverse competition and clamorous voices was especially common in the late Ming and Ming dynasties. Since the mid-Ming Dynasty, there have been several movements or trends, including the Xinxue Movement, the Literary Restoration Movement, the Integration of Three Religions into One, and the Art-making (i. E., Eight-legged Essay) trend. Past research has focused more on big names and figures to see them leading or dominating a certain movement or trend. This book turns its attention to the young scholars in Jiangxi and surrounding areas in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. These young scholars were often affected by several trends at the same time, wandering and hesitating between the trends, and even fell into a dilemma of choice, or trying to find the possibility of parallelism for different trends. These young scholars may not be the protagonists of the historical stage, but these people are actually closer to the situation of most scholars at that time. Through in-depth analysis of their lives, thoughts and practices, this book reveals their complex situations in ideological emancipation, cultural inheritance and social changes. Although these young scholars failed to become representatives of mainstream academic circles, their activities and choices profoundly affected the culture and ideological pattern of the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

This book begins with the founding of the Qing Dynasty and ends in the 21st century, narrating the great changes in modern Chinese society over the past four hundred years. The author clearly points out that this difficult journey is not, as most Western Sinologists say, a history in which Western factors continued to be input and China only responded passively. From clues such as the government's policies and systems, the national struggle against external factors, and the search for a way to survive in a new world, the author meticulously describes the internal social turmoil and important driving forces of development in modern China, telling the world the history of an ancient Confucian empire that experienced hardships and obstacles and transformed into a modern nation-state. Although the author is in the European and American circles, what he expresses through this book is his views on the development process of modern China as a Chinese. This expression does not belong to any one theory or doctrine, but is an eclectic and harmonious view of history. With a vision that transcends ideology, class, party and culture, and a heart of tolerance and goodwill towards historical figures of all kinds, Mr. Xu Zhongyue looks at historical events fairly, impartially, objectively and calmly. At the same time, he refers to a large amount of archival documents and research works, and uses an interdisciplinary approach to strive to present to readers this historical work that describes the struggle of the Chinese nation in the past four hundred years.
