Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Ming Dynasty has been constantly encountering Japanese invaders. Fortunately, Taizu and Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty had great talents, strengthened coastal defense construction, and built a powerful army and navy to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese pirates, so that the Japanese pirates did not dare to act recklessly. However, during the Jiajing period, because Japan was in the Warring States period, Japanese pirates were out of control, and the Ming Dynasty's coastal defenses were weakened, the Japanese invasion was particularly serious, causing great harm to lives and serious social and economic damage. Under such circumstances, many patriotic soldiers devoted themselves to the cause of resisting Japanese aggression, and many commendable anti-Japanese deeds emerged. But at that time, the treacherous minister Yan Song's clique controlled the world and only cared about his own interests. He framed the famous anti-Japanese generals Zhu Wan, Zhang Jing, Wang Yan, etc. To death, and the great cause of anti-Japanese war was in vain. Later, Hu Zongxian served as the governor of Southern Zhili and Zhejiang. He united and led famous generals such as Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Tan Lun, and Tang Kekuan to successfully trap and kill great traitors such as Wang Zhi and Xu Hai. Qi Jiguang, in particular, established a Qi family army that was good at conquering and fighting, created a mandarin duck formation capable of attacking and defending, and won one classic battle after another with fewer defeating more, making the Japanese pirates terrified. After the hard work of many people, the Ming Dynasty finally won the victory in the Anti-Japanese War. However, during the Wanli period, the ambitious Toyotomi Hideyoshi brazenly launched an invasion of Korea and tried to use Korea as a springboard to attack the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was well aware of the truth of the bitterness of lips and teeth. It sent troops twice to fight against the Japanese and aid Korea. After seven years of arduous war, the Japanese army was finally driven out of Korea.

In the 8th century, before entering the social scene, the children of British nobles would go to Italy with their tutors to study classical literature as the last part of their education - this was the craze of the Grand Tour. This was not only a custom of the nobility, but also became institutionalized in the later period. The starting point and destination of the study tour were the same every time. This behavior was praised by some and ridiculed by others. When the French Revolution broke out and the Great Study Tour was interrupted, these aristocratic children instead traveled among the Lake District in England. They hold travel guides and hone their aesthetic sense by admiring the scenery. The popularity of horse-drawn carriages led to a craze for hiking, where people were encouraged to "walk by themselves and deepen their poetic imagination," while the emergence of travelogues made civilians more eager to travel. The old feudalism was replaced by a passionate spirit of adventure in travel writing, and the result was a succession of world-famous Romantic English poets, including Wordsworth.

In this book, teacher Ma Yong uses more than ten important figures as clues to record the modern history of China and puts forward many new theories. For example, based on Weng Tonghe's specific actions, words and articles before and after the Reform Movement of 1898, he connected the process from the initiation to the failure of the Reform Movement; another example is that Kang Youwei went into exile after the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898 and claimed that he had received the "Belt Order" from Emperor Guangxu. Nowadays, academic circles generally believe that Kang Youwei was lying, but the author has come to a new view through analysis; and so on. In this book, the author shows readers how people in history affect historical events, thereby affecting the direction of the entire history.

The valuable thing about the author is that he can always provide readers with an idea for discussing history in his character descriptions, striving to find the logic of history and open up the history of ancient and modern civilizations.

Herzen wrote a long memoir, Past and Thoughts, in eight volumes, describing the social life and revolutionary events in Russia and Western Europe in the half century from the Decembrist uprising to the eve of the Paris Commune.

This is a work that collects moments of memories. A senior reporter used his camera to record the urban street scenes and residents' lives in Hangzhou over the past 50 years. In that era when photography was expensive and scarce, these pictures were not only the life journey of this reporter, but also a portrayal of the journey of the city and generations of people, freezing a period of wonderful ups and downs of the changes of the times and major events in people's livelihood. People who lived through the 1970s and 1980s may reminisce about the old days; people born in the prosperous new century may want to know about the glorious years of their parents' generation.

Time passes without realizing it, and time easily throws people away. The world we live in has undergone too many changes, and we need to stop at a certain moment, carefully put away the memories of these times and people, and slowly cherish them.

During the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, in this seemingly short time axis, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Su Shunqin, Teng Zijing... How many stories and literary talents have been recorded in history? Xia Jianyong goes from spring to autumn, discusses the past from the present, and looks at the present from the past. He uses novel writing style, small talk and great meaning, and opens and closes in the folds of history to unearth rich humanistic significance. "Autumn of the Fourth Year of Qingli" is the second part of Xia Jianyong's "Song History Trilogy". A small dinner party to honor the gods caused an uproar in the court. The background was the Qingli New Deal in the mid-Northern Song Dynasty. The work shows the broad aspects of life from the court of the Northern Song Dynasty to the common people in the city, including politics, society, military diplomacy, and the intricacies of government affairs; power struggles for reform, conspiracies and man-made disasters, and the undercurrents are turbulent and thrilling.

The "Song History Trilogy" includes "The Twelve Years of Shaoxing", "Autumn of the Fourth Year of Qingli" and "Tokyo Dream Search". Taking three representative historical periods as the twelfth year of Shaoxing under Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty, the fourth year of Qingli under Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the first year of Xiangfu under Emperor Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty as narrative nodes, it starts with the meaningful historical events of Yue Fei's murder, Qingli's New Deal, and Song Zhenzong's eastward enfeoffment, and enters into a cross-section of history, elucidating the subtle details and peeling off cocoons.

"Tokyo Dream Search" is the final work of Xia Jianyong's "Song History Trilogy" after "The Twelve Years of Shaoxing" and "The Autumn of the Fourth Year of Qingli". "Tokyo Meng Xun Lu" is derived from a perfunctory sentence in "History of the Song Dynasty: The Annals of Zhenzong", "The alliance with Chanzhou was established, the Zen ceremony was completed, the auspiciousness was great, the heavenly book was repeatedly dropped, and the guide was paid to pay tribute. The king and ministers of the country were as sick as crazy. It's strange." The whole country has been dreaming of Tokyo for ten years. Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty was the end of the two thousand years of feudal emperors who sealed Mount Tai in the east. As a benevolent but inferior king of Taiping who loved his people but was superstitious, Zhenzong's psychology of sealing Mount Tai in the east was not uncomplicated. He was the third emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, the third prince of Taizong Zhao Guangyi, and he used to be named Zhao Dechang, Zhao Yuanxiu and Zhao Yuankan. In 985, the eldest son of the emperor Yuan Zuo was deposed in Fengong; in 986, the second prince Yuan Xi died unexpectedly. Three years later, Taizong, who had always been at odds over the issue of establishing a crown prince, officially issued an edict to establish Yuan Kan as the crown prince and change his name to Zhao Heng. At this time, the drama belonging to the third prince had just begun. In the fourth year of Jingde (1007 AD), Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng, who had concluded the "Chanyuan Alliance", ascended the throne and had been in power for ten years. On the last day of the year, Zhenzong gave a banquet and summoned Wang Dan, the prime minister of the dynasty, to "drink in it" and rewarded an altar of jewels during the banquet. On the third day of the first lunar month of the year, Zhao Heng summoned all the officials in Chongzheng Hall. A minister reported that a bunch of yellow silk hung on the owl kiss in the south corner of the left palace gate, known as the Book of Heaven. As a result, a seven-eight-year-old historical drama in which heavenly books frequently descended and auspiciousness arose... Slowly began...
