This book is divided into two parts. The first part explores the Yangzhou internal circulation model embodied by the Southern Dynasty regime centered on Jiankang from the perspective of political power. It focuses on analyzing the dependence of the Jiankang regime on Yangzhou and its financial crisis from a financial perspective, as well as the related poverty problem of scholars. At the same time, starting from the relationship between monarchs and ministers, we discuss the relationship between monarchs and ministers in the Southern Dynasties, showing the self-enclosed nature of the regime and the rapid consumption of effective forces in the process of transferring imperial power, thus drawing the conclusion that the regime began to decline after the rise of the metropolitan area and took over Jiankang. The following part starts with the metropolitan area. Analyzing the formation of the independence of the Southern Dynasty's metropolitan areas, the confrontation with the Northern Dynasties allowed the military power to be maintained, and the governorship allowed it to gain financial independence. The relative autonomy of the officials in the jurisdiction and the supply of ordnance from the headquarters made the Southern Dynasty's metropolitan areas evolve into a highly independent "vassal-like town" form.

Mobil Oil Company was once the world's first trust company and had a decisive influence in the modern world. Since it entered China in the late Qing Dynasty, it was called a "giant spirit" by Liang Qichao. But there are big difficulties. As a company, although Mobil Oil maintains a high degree of autonomy, it is often restricted not only by the U. S. Government, but also by the governments of trade importing countries and investment host countries. In the context of the changing international political situation and the ever-changing situation in China, Mobil Oil's operations in China need to consider its own global business strategy, and also need to deal with various relationships with the US and Chinese governments and even local governments. Many decisions affect the whole body. Under the influence of various combined forces, this giant's operations in China began with the popularization of kerosene and ended with the oil embargo against China. This book focuses on the main events between Mobil and the Chinese government in modern times, showing the interest negotiations, mutual understanding and external influence between Mobil and the Chinese government in various historical periods, and revealing the extensive, complex and unique relationship between Mobil Oil Company, which is essentially a capitalist private enterprise, and the Chinese and U. S. Governments. At some important historical moments, the above-mentioned relationship not only reflected the role of Mobil Oil Company under the change of U. S. Policy towards China, but also influenced the Chinese government's petroleum industry concepts and actions to a certain extent. Therefore, understanding the development history of Mobil Oil Company in modern China also has certain reference significance for contemporary political economy. This book uses rich historical materials to provide vivid examples of the interaction between powerful American multinational corporations and the modern Chinese government.

Since the surrender of the Renzong Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty government has carried out various military and political reforms with the goal of "strengthening the army" in response to threats from the west and the north. Relevant military policies not only formed long-lasting systems such as martial arts, martial arts, and armor protection, but also changed the foreign policy with "harmony" as the core. Starting from the Shenzong Dynasty, border expansion operations were actively carried out, changing the border defense situation that was previously controlled by the enemy. However, foreign wars consumed a large amount of materials and manpower, but achieved very limited results. This triggered fierce disputes about peace and war within the ruling class and became an unsolvable political problem. Therefore, the military and political reforms committed by the Song government had a far-reaching impact and are an issue that must be paid attention to in understanding the historical development of the second half of the Northern Song Dynasty.

During this period, although the survivors of the Ming Dynasty had a strong sense of identity, insisted on being physically and mentally loyal to the old king of their motherland, and deliberately shaped themselves, the difficulties in life and the depression of spirit forced them to constantly explore the "acting in line with the Tao" in their lives. Therefore, in terms of life management practices and social interactions, Ming survivors showed various forms; in terms of considering "Tao", they were more "focused on the end", re-constructing the rationality and legitimacy of survival in the Qing Dynasty, and pursuing a new self-positioning and life value.

In ancient China, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the official (court) newspapers had been Di Bao, Tang Bao, and Gongmen Chao. There were no newspapers in the modern sense. After the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty, governors and governors from various places began to establish modern official newspapers, such as "Beiyang Official News", "Nanyang Official News", "Qinzhong Bookstore Report", "Hubei Official News", "Bingzhou Official News" and so on. The establishment of official newspapers is to circulate information and contribute to the progress of the times. However, local states and counties often default on newspaper fees and postage, which also makes many official newspapers unable to make ends meet and on the verge of bankruptcy. This period highlights the contradiction and conflict between the "new" and the "old". The value of this book lies in sorting out the historical context of official newspapers in the late Qing Dynasty, reproducing the difficult process of late Qing official newspapers starting from scratch, and interpreting the different attitudes of feudal officials and important ministers towards modern official media at that time, as well as how modern news newspapers and periodicals influenced the historical trend.

It is called the pioneering work of modern Chinese history research. "Lu Simian Lectures on Chinese History" is one of Mr. Lu Simian's two major general history masterpieces, and it is also the highlight of the study of Chinese cultural history during the Republic of China.

The Qing Dynasty was the last centralized autocratic monarchy in Chinese history. It laid the territorial foundation of modern China. It was also during the Qing Dynasty that China was dragged into the global whirlpool of modernization and began the modern process of coexistence of humiliation and resistance. At this time, China is like an old man staggering into the last stage of his journey after a long period of time. This is an era of rapid changes: dynasty-changing wars, talented and ambitious emperors, unprecedented territories, the "prosperity" of killing hearts and minds, the suppression of ideology and culture, the ugliness of corrupt officials, the invasion of Western powers, the flames of peasant wars, the self-rescue of enlightened scholars, the spread of foreign cultures to the east, attempts at reform and reform, revolutions that overthrew the monarchy... All of these have left us with too many thought-provoking stories.
