All dynasties have inherited the tradition of emphasizing "shame" and regard "clear shame" as the criterion for knowing people and judging the world, while "shameless" is a curse word that makes people feel ashamed. From governing a country to bringing peace to the world, to cultivating oneself and managing a family, "shame" has almost become a yardstick for measuring right and wrong, loyalty and treachery, and merit, and it is also a force that encourages people to stand up. This book is divided into two parts: the main part and the appendix. It selects 45 typical figures related to "shame": the main part mentions 23 people who exposed shame, including Boyi, Shuqi, Su Wu, Yang Zhen, Zhou Chu, Zu Ti and others who are praised by the world.

Why did the ancients believe that "the sky is round and the earth is round"? During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the theory of "the sky is round and the earth is round" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. By the Han Dynasty, the relatively advanced Huntian theory became mainstream. After the Yuan Dynasty, in order to strengthen their rule and restrict the common people's observation and thinking of astronomical phenomena, the emperors placed the power of interpretation in the hands of the court, and the "round sky and square earth" gradually became the mainstream. Why did the ancients pursue becoming hermits after becoming officials? Why did the ancients think that not having a son equaled having no descendants? Why did ancient people want to have more children when they were poorer? Behind these seemingly strange ideas, there are specific reasons for specific historical stages, either due to helplessness, letting nature take its course, survival instinct in extreme environments, or the timely development of cultural customs. The author selects 52 popular answers on Zhihu. Starting from specific people and events in history, he explains the causes, processes and influences of the ancient people's strange ideas, provides ideological guidance to modern people, and traces the spiritual origin of the Chinese people.
