This book explores the impact of witchcraft, alchemy and prophecy on the political behavior, political evolution and changes of the political system in the Han Dynasty. Throughout it is the issue of the verification methods of witchcraft, alchemy and prophecy. Wizards and alchemists gained widespread trust in witchcraft and alchemy by creating an atmosphere of spiritual experience, and prophecies often came true in the political practice of the Han Dynasty. This was the main reason for the popularity of prophecies. The selection and acceptance of historical materials by history writers was also closely related to whether witchcraft, alchemy, and prophecies were proven.

This book is the author's systematic research and theoretical reflection on several important areas of ancient Chinese history in the past ten years. The content covers many aspects such as the medieval official system, stone inscriptions, criticism of historical materials, and the overall methodology of historical research. On the one hand, the author integrates the existing achievements in the academic world and strives to carry out unique analysis based on profound academic accumulation; on the other hand, he is good at combining his own practical experience in teaching and guiding students' writing, avoiding general theories, and using specific issues as the basis to explain how to explore paths and apply techniques in historical research. This book is not only a complete presentation of relevant topic research, but also a rare historical methodology work.

Mr. Liang Mancang is an expert on the Three Kingdoms Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. He has been deeply involved in the field of Three Kingdoms history for many years and has extensive influence in academia and reading circles. This book selects fifteen articles written by Mr. Liang on the history of the Three Kingdoms. It focuses on character research, explains the profound things in simple terms, and discusses historical events by telling stories about historical figures. This book breaks through the stereotyped and stylized tendencies of the characters in the Three Kingdoms in the past, and presents the characters' multiple personalities and characteristics in different historical environments. The characters involved in this book include Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo, Guan Yu, Emperor Wei Ming, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Sun Quan, Zhu Ran, Sima Zhao, etc. Through the analysis of historical data: why Guan Yu, as a warrior, had an indissoluble bond with the Spring and Autumn Period, and what was his motivation for reading the Spring and Autumn Period; Lu Bu's killing of Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan was due to their capricious personalities, or there were complex social and political reasons; why Cao Cao can be called a "superhero" and Sima Zhao can only be called a careerist; through the microscopic analysis of the Zhu family, it reflects the relationship between Sun Wu's imperial power and the powerful families in the south of the Yangtze River. In short, the narrative perspective of this book is both academically cutting-edge and in line with the public's reading preferences. It is suitable for researchers and literature and history enthusiasts.

The author, Mr. Wang Zijin, sorted out and examined important historical phenomena that had common features in the history of the founding of ancient China, covering the three basic models of the founding of ancient dynasties, the opportunities and crisis response strategies of the founding monarchs, the redistribution of founding power and the policy adjustment of the hero's governance, offense and defense, the coordination of civil and military affairs at the beginning of the founding of the country, the handover of the ruling power of the first and second generations of the founding monarch, and the development of the country. We should explore important historical issues such as the role of the villain on the stage of national history, the policy theory of "concession policy" or "counterattack and reckoning". We should break away from the conventional thinking of political history that simply summarizes the experience and lessons of success and failure. We should study the "rise and fall" with the motivation of in-depth exploration of social history and cultural history. We can draw new branches from the surface of the similar cycle of dynasty replacement in ancient China and summarize the understanding with certain regular significance.

"Literati and Party Struggles in the Song Dynasty" is a literary and historical work written by Shen Songqin, a scholar of literature and history in the Song Dynasty, who studies the party struggles in the Song Dynasty. The whole book is revised and combined from his works "Literati and Party Struggles in the Northern Song Dynasty" and "Literati and Party Struggles in the Southern Song Dynasty", divided into "Northern Song Dynasty Chapter" and "Southern Song Dynasty Chapter". The whole book takes the struggle between scholar-officials factions in the two Song Dynasties as the theme. By comprehensively explaining the history of the struggle between scholar-officials and political power in the Song Dynasty, the book shows the inescapable historical curse of "party unity and opposition to dissenters" in the political system of the Song Dynasty. It also analyzes the practical problems faced by the society of the Song Dynasty and the root causes of the disputes among the scholar-officials in the Song Dynasty from a specific perspective, revealing the inherent historical laws of the rise and fall of the Song Dynasty. This book is hailed as the pioneering work in the domestic study of party struggles and scholar-official relations in the Song Dynasty. It is an important research work in the domestic research circles of Song history and Song Dynasty literature.

Wu Han, a famous expert on Ming history, wrote "The New Official Class in the Ming Dynasty, Social, Political, and Cultural Relationships and Their Life" in 1943. It is an unpublished posthumous work by Mr. Wu Han. The article pointed out that after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the original anti-Yuan rebels and supporters transformed into a new ruling class, which Wu Han called "new officials." This group includes the royal family, relatives, eunuchs, imperial examination bureaucrats and even grassroots lijia and grain chiefs, forming a broad privileged class. Wu Han conducted a comprehensive and systematic analysis of this class from the aspects of the era background, privilege structure, imperial examination system, official corruption, harm caused by the gentry, parasitic lifestyle and cultural taste. It provides readers with a new perspective on the Ming Dynasty, and provides understandable clues to the politics, contradictions, struggles, and even culture and life of the Ming Dynasty. In order to supplement our understanding of this topic, this book selects several other related papers by Wu Han to form a more systematic treatise. I believe that readers will have a more in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the ruling elite of the Ming Dynasty by reading this book.

Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., A historian at Harvard University, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, reveals the replacement pattern between passive and active government in American history.

Schlesinger Jr., Who has won the Pulitzer Prize twice, synthesizes all of his thoughts on cyclical issues in American history and puts forward the insightful theoretical framework of "American Political Cycle Theory." With clear and engaging writing, the book delves into core themes of the American experience: the meaning of the United States as an experiment in self-government, political cycles and rhythms, diplomatic methods, the problem of imperialism, the origins and significance of the Cold War, the role of government and free markets in American economic growth, the decline of political parties, the consequences of imperial presidentialism, and the important role of leadership in democracy. Erudite, calm and fluently explains his unique "historical cycle theory", showing how the rise and fall of American history have shaped the present and foreshadowed the future.

There is no completely corresponding crime for causing suicide in modern criminal law, but in the Qing Dynasty, the accountability of others involved in suicidal behavior has been widely used in national laws and judicial practices. At the legal level, the Qing Dynasty had formed a relatively complete crime system for causing suicide. In judicial practice, the perpetrators in such cases have no "murderous intention" subjectively, nor objectively "killing" actions. The causal relationship is unclear and unspecific, and judicial officials need to use legal reasoning to judge. This book takes legal reasoning as the perspective and goes deep into the actual state of legal operation. By examining the accountability of others in suicide behavior and analyzing the pattern of accountability, this book will gain insight into the legal logic and legal thinking of the Qing Dynasty, and take a look at the entire legal world of the Qing Dynasty.

From the compilation of the "New Chinese Literature Series (1917-1927)" to the publication of several monographs on the study of historical materials of modern and contemporary Chinese literature, the role of historical materials in the academic development of Chinese literature has received more and more attention. The "historical materials craze" has become an eye-catching phenomenon in the field of modern and contemporary Chinese literature research in the past decade. Through theoretical analysis and specific research examples, the author of this book deeply discusses the experience and problems in the collection and use of historical materials in the practice of literary history research. At the same time, he analyzes how the perspective of historical materials can further activate and enrich the study of writers' works, literary trends of thought, and literary history. The book goes from macro to meso to micro. It not only clarifies the academic relationship between historical materials and literary history research, as well as the macro characteristics of historical materials, but also summarizes the historical experience in key areas of existing research and analyzes how to break through weak links. As a kind of "academic preparation", this book integrates the author's recent thoughts on how historical materials, theories, and texts can be organically unified in the study of literary history.

The Institute of History and Philology of Academia Sinica, founded in 1928, is a famous academic research institution in modern China and is closely related to the development of modern Chinese historiography.

Focusing on the dual perspectives of "local" and "foreign", and observing the relationship between the Institute of History and Philology and modern Chinese historiography from the perspective of historical exchanges between China and foreign countries, it examines how Western academic concepts are intertwined and forged with traditional Chinese historiography, thereby promoting the transformation of Chinese historiography from tradition to modernity; at the same time, the relatively systematic use of relevant archival materials increases the original value of the research results.

"Spring and Autumn" has long been revered as the supreme holy book of political philosophy in ancient China, and is considered to be the only Confucian classic compiled by Confucius himself. However, the "Spring and Autumn Annals" uses subtle words and great meanings to hide praise and criticism, which is very difficult to understand, especially as it has become more and more complicated after interpretations by classics scholars of the past dynasties. So how did "Spring and Autumn" and related classics play a practical role in an authoritarian society for two thousand years, and even influence the wind and rain? What kind of existence is the Spring and Autumn Period, which has always been regarded as the Chinese spirit? Xiong Yi starts from a murder case in the Tang Dynasty. Through a large number of vivid historical cases, using detailed textual research and meticulous logic, he reveals layer by layer how Chinese classic culture dating back to the Spring and Autumn Period, including "Spring and Autumn", "One Classic and Three Transmissions", "The Analects" and "Laozi", were distorted into tools of power under imperial politics. Xiong Yi plucked thousands of years of historical facts and classics at his fingertips, and allowed emperors, sages, dignitaries, generals, scribes and other people from different eras to have conversations across the air.

This book describes the ancient history debate movement as a historical phenomenon in the development of modern academic thought. It mainly explores why the movement broke out, what style it took, and what impact it brought, etc. In the history of modern thought. This book believes that the most critical factor that led to the emergence of the movement was the historical interpretation of Jinwen writers in the Qing Dynasty, and the complex ideological and academic environment in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China was particularly important. Gu Jiegang's personal "striking blow to the sky" was the catalyst for the movement. In addition, this book also examines issues on three levels: the first level, what are the original ideas of thinkers, and what is the relationship between these ideas and the ideological tradition in which they live; the second level, what the thinkers really accomplished; the third level, in the process of historical development, what impact did the thinkers' achievements have, and how do later people understand their actions.

This book contains 18 articles, covering ancient economic research, transportation history research, etc. It can be roughly divided into two categories: one is the exposition of historical facts, such as "The "Cai Fa Ma" System in the Ming Dynasty and the Changes of Local Order in Hehuang and Taoma", "The Public and Private Contacts between Guo Songtao and Wade as Ministers", "The Transformation of Social Weather Concepts in Modern China" "Type" and "Studying the Local Concepts of Chaozhou Overseas Chinese in Siam Using Overseas Chinese Batch as Historical Materials"; the second category is historical research, such as "A Study on the Owners of the Mural Tombs in Bayannuo'er, Mongolia", "A Study on the "Separated by the Uighurs" in Xijiasi", "A Study on Sichuan's Literature in the Early Northern Song Dynasty", etc. There is also a special article introducing Mr. Geng Sheng's contribution to the translation of the history of the Western Regions.

This book is one of the research results of the famous sinologist Professor Nicolas Standaert on the exchanges of historiography and historical chronology between China and Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It mainly examines the role of a special genre of history books that appeared in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties - "Gangjian style" historical books - in the cultural exchanges between China and the West, and its impact on Western writing of ancient Chinese history. This book is mainly divided into two parts. The first part discusses the genealogy of Gangjian's historical works in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and the narratives of Chinese history and chronology by Europeans who came to China, as well as their sources of Chinese historical materials. Based on the comparison of the two, the core point of the book is introduced - the interweaving of cultures in Chinese history writing; the second part focuses on ancient Chinese history. Focusing on the Chinese Emperor Ku and his wives and concubines, we trace Ku's life trajectory and the legend of his wives' "miraculous birth" through different records in different texts, and use this as a main clue to reconstruct the genealogy of historical texts and the differences between different types of historical books, and explore Europeans' interpretation of Chinese historical texts from the perspective of cross-cultural hermeneutics.

This book is a study by the famous sinologist Nicolas Standaert on the spread of "Di Bao" in Europe during the Qing Dynasty. The sources of existing Dibao documents dating back to 1800 are mainly European-language documents compiled by Europeans living in China in the early Qing Dynasty. After being compiled in China, these documents were sent to Europe in the form of personal letters, reports, and translations, and most of them were included in anthologies about Chinese culture. On the one hand, they record the actual appearance, specifications, format, content and usage of Di Bao in the early Qing Dynasty, and cover information not recorded in Chinese historical materials; on the other hand, they also show how Europeans read Di Bao in China and how they, as global agents, introduced China to Europe, thereby allowing Di Bao to join the global information network. The author selects representative cases from Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties to analyze this process in detail, confirming that the Enlightenment's important views on China's political system and governance were based on texts directly related to Di Bao, indicating that Di Bao and the ideas it carried entered the global public domain much earlier than we thought.

In this era, network metaphors are increasingly important. The information age (informationage) we live in has been called a network society (networksociety). In the space we live in, the Internet is everywhere. These networks vary widely, from the biological webs of hyphae connecting fungi, to railway networks, to the invisible electromagnetic binary networks with which modern humans communicate. In contemporary society, the significance of the Internet has broken through the boundaries of academia. It became a verb, and to network became a core concept in contemporary professional and private interpersonal interactions. Various social media based on this concept have greatly changed the lives of the public in the past 30 years. This book is a collection of the results of the third conference in the "Writing History: Reflections in Practice" series of conferences held in 2017, "Weaving History - Connections and Representations in History." It shows how researchers in history and other humanities and social sciences pursue the ancient and novel metaphor of the network and turn it into a way of telling the past and the current world.

Differences are ubiquitous in current historical research. Differences diversify our research objects and themes. Differences are changing our questioning methods. More importantly, the connection between differences and identity makes us have a more complex relationship with the research objects. This book is a collection of the results of the discussion on "Difference and Current Historical Writing", the second of the series of conferences "Writing History: Reflections in Practice" held in 2016. It shows the possibility of current historical research and also shows that differences emerge at different stages and levels of historical writing. Asking about difference is also asking, in historical writing, what is its antonym, and how do the entanglements of meaning associated with it emerge? The semantic changes of difference are caused by the accumulation of academic history and have penetrated into the daily practice of historians. From encountering "historical materials" to searching for explanations, and even encountering research results with readers, every step is closely related to difference.

In the minds of the world, the Donglin Party members mainly have a positive image of loyalty, uprightness, and majesty. Later generations generally have sympathy and admiration for them. This image of Donglin has its own process of formation, shaping, acceptance, dissemination and solidification. The late Ming Dynasty of Donglin's activities was naturally an important stage in this process. The general acceptance and dissemination of this image by officials and people in the Qing Dynasty not only inherited the existing tone of the late Ming Dynasty, but also inspired modern times. It influenced the modern and contemporary comments on Donglin, non-Donglin, and party disputes in the late Ming Dynasty. It is still in the ascendant today. The first part of this book mainly examines the many performances of Donglin people and their supporters in shaping and maintaining the image of Donglin in the late Ming Dynasty. The second part focuses on the writing situation and reasons of Donglin in the Qing revision of "History of the Ming Dynasty". "History of the Ming Dynasty" generally establishes a good biography of Dong Lin, and the characters who are opposed to Dong Lin are included in the "Biography of the Eunuch" and "The Biography of the Traitor", which represents the attitude towards the two parties and their fighting history in the late Ming Dynasty, and also greatly affected later generations' judgment on this issue.
