Since its opening as a port in 1841, Hong Kong has gradually developed various industries under the colonial government. According to government statistics in 1860, in addition to simple fishery and agriculture, Hong Kong already had some commercial trade and service industries. By the mid-20th century, all walks of life in Hong Kong were flourishing, and their development had reached a very mature level.

The Xixia royal tombs are known as the Eastern Pyramids, and the mysterious Blackwater City holds coveted treasures; without its complete history in the "official history", is the Xixia Dynasty a "legend" or an "unattainable existence"? The Western Xia Dynasty, with the Dangxiang ethnic group as the main body, followed by the Liao Dynasty of the Khitans, the Northern Song Dynasty of the Han people, the Jin Dynasty of the Jurchen people, and the Southern Song Dynasty of the Han people, twice forming a situation of three kingdoms. The prosperity of Xixia fully demonstrates the strong resilience and adaptability of Party people. Xixia once created Xixia characters with special shapes. Many ethnic minorities have established political power in history, but most of them did not have their own national script, which shows the important status of Xixia script. In recent years, Buddhist scriptures translated from Xixia have been unearthed one after another. This study of the changes in Chinese phonetics is of high academic value. The Xixia Dynasty lasted for 190 years from the time when Yuan Hao officially proclaimed himself emperor in the fifth year of Jingyou, Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, to the 22nd year of Emperor Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty, which lasted for 190 years. It was considered a long-lived dynasty in Chinese history. If we count from the time when Tuoba Sigong, the ancestor of Yuan Hao, was awarded the envoys of Xia, Sui and Yinjie and the title of Dingnan Army for his contribution in pacifying Huangchao, it would have been a long-lasting regime for 346 years.

Lingnan was originally the land of Baiyue. Because it was separated by the Five Ridges, its lifestyle and customs were quite different from those in the Central Plains of the same period. After Qin unified the six kingdoms, it established counties and counties in Lingnan, stationed a large number of Qin troops, and moved merchants and criminals to Lingnan. The Lingnan area began to be under the rule of the central government. With Han and Yue being mixed together, the Yue people were influenced by Han cultural customs on the one hand, and on the other hand, they retained the traditions of Baiyue culture and enriched the connotation of Lingnan culture. This book combines archaeological and documentary materials to examine the cultural characteristics of the Han and Yue people in the Lingnan area and the cultural conflicts and integration between the two. It hopes to understand the cultural landscape of Hong Kong during the Qin and Han Dynasties through discussing Lingnan culture.

Tea affairs are only one aspect of social life, but when reviewing its details within the scope of "Complete Poems of the Song Dynasty" and "Complete Song Ci", one cannot help but be surprised by its richness. The subtle details in tea affairs are originally sentiments, situations, and spirits in tea poems; the choice of tea drinking method often shows the drinker's magnanimity and spirit. Lu Yu once worked hard to make the tea ceremony an art and a realm. Scholars in the Song and Song Dynasties turned the suspended art and realm into daily life, and they could still use "objects" to carry their own "culture". So is there any difference between the tea of ​​scholars and the tea of ​​the world? Starting from the examination of the school's famous objects, we should be able to discover the significance of some details in the mutual contrast between tea poems and tea events.

The Hakka group is an important part of the original residents of Hong Kong. During many migrations over thousands of years, the Hakka ancestors brought the culture and customs of the Central Plains to Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan, and blended them with the local customs and culture to form a unique Hakka culture and art form. The two authors of this book lead students to explore the centuries-old inheritance story of the Hakka group in Hong Kong through the Hakka intangible cultural heritage items included in the "Hong Kong's First Intangible Cultural Heritage List" announced in 2014: Wai Ming Song, Hakka Kirin Dance, Tea Cake Making, Lantern Making, Sun-salted Salt at Sai Kung Yantian Tsai, and the Patron's Day Ceremony. Through fieldwork, we explore the historical vicissitudes of the New Territories and salvage historical culture and collective memories.

The author's research covers the period from 1844 to 1945. By understanding the life and work of dock coolies, the author examines how these lower-class Chinese interacted with the government, and seeks a new perspective on understanding Chinese society. Taking the Pier Gurli group as the research object is based on the lack of relevant discussion in existing Hong Kong historical works. Since the opening of the port, the seaport freight industry has been closely related to Hong Kong's economic development. Before the war, cargo transportation relied on manpower and was an industry that many grassroots Chinese who lacked livelihood skills relied on to make a living. Therefore, it is quite representative for observing the situation of the Chinese community in Hong Kong. This study uses the perspective of social history to look at the history of the Chinese and the colonial government through the Gurli community in Hong Kong's docks, supplementing the history of Hong Kong. The author uses micro-historical investigation to reconstruct the history of the lower class groups by collecting and sorting out a large number of fragmentary historical materials, so as to achieve the goal of reflecting on the values ​​of Hong Kong people.

Based on the six periods of Pre-Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang Dynasty, Song and Yuan, and Qing Dynasty, the book elaborates on the important historical masterpieces of the past dynasties, including the "Four Histories", "Three Communications", and historical reviews.

The content of the discussion should be as complex and concise as possible, while trying to refer to recent research results. Important items are explained with tables, and each chapter has annotations, which can be read with selected passages from historical classics. A bibliography is attached at the end of the book, which can serve as clues for further reading.

This book takes as the research object the activity of reciting Chinese cultural classics that once withdrew from the stage of history, has been dormant for eighty years, and then re-emerged. It uses resource mobilization theory as a research perspective to explore the social mobilization mechanism of the rise of classic recitation. How were the material resources mobilized for the rise of Chinese cultural classic reading activities? How are member resources mobilized? How are discourse resources mobilized? Through nearly a year of fieldwork, the author of this book uses the three research dimensions of resource mobilization theory to reveal one by one the process and mechanism of the three main types of resources used by social elites to actively mobilize Chinese cultural classic reading activities, and further reveals the deep background factors such as social transformation, the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the profound traditional cultural heritage of the rise of this cultural phenomenon.

The author incarnates as a newspaperman of the Republic of China, reporting through the old world composed of words, leading readers back to 1912 to witness many details of the politics, economy, society, culture and other aspects of the first year of the Republic of China. Compared with the vigor of the Revolution of 1911 in 1911, 1912 was indeed an ordinary and anxious year: there was no progress in science and technology, the society was more chaotic, the economy was lackluster, and there was little academic innovation. However, under the dilapidation, the spiritual life of the entire society is undergoing earth-shaking changes, and everything is full of infinite possibilities.

As the planner and direct executor of the plan, the author secretly contacted and negotiated with German SS Chief of Staff Karl Wolff in an attempt to deceive allied pacifists, including U. S.
