With the theme of "Region-Imperial State in Blood Relations", this book explains that after Qin Shihuang unified China, China's state and national governance went beyond the dominance of blood relations and transformed into the dominance of regional relations, forming a super-large regional territorial state. The imperial system that maintained this country included a series of new institutional factors such as centralization represented by imperial power, county bureaucracy, administrative cities, household integration, and national laws and regulations. The book consists of fifteen chapters, which explore the country and its governance process and internal dominance relationships from the unification of China by Qin Shihuang to the late Qing Dynasty in the form of special topics.

From the compilation of the "Chinese New 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. This book takes the Institute of History and Linguistics from 1928 to 1948 as the research object, and comprehensively examines the formation, operating mechanism, novelty trends, discourse construction, scholarly characteristics, academic contributions, extraterritorial influence and research limitations of the Institute of History and Linguistics' new paradigm, etc., And presents a more complete historical picture of the Institute of History and Linguistics' promotion of the construction of the discourse system 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 we live in has been called a network society. 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. However, his acceptance and dissemination of Donglin's words were selective. On the one hand, he established a good reputation for Donglin in the mainstream and praised the noble character and loyal actions of some people in Donglin; on the other hand, there were often so-called "cadences" between the lines, criticizing Donglin's lectures and party-building behavior. This was mainly due to the fact that the Qing Dynasty made flexible use of the historical resource of Donglin based on its actual needs.

"Space" is one of the most basic categories in modern humanities, and has always been subject to in-depth research in various professional fields.

However, the National Grain Management Bureau failed to achieve "immediate results". In addition, factional struggles within the Kuomintang and the food crisis further intensified. It was abolished in less than a year and replaced by the Ministry of Grain. Certain policies of the National Grain Management Bureau laid the foundation for the Ministry of Grain to control grain.

The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were a period of long-term ethnic divisions that followed the unification of the Qin and Han dynasties. The Western Jin Dynasty fell, and the Han nationality was forced to move out of the Yellow River Basin. It was replaced by the rise of many Hu nationality regimes in the Central Plains. Chinese culture faced the danger of interrupting its development. It was the Tuoba tribe who took advantage of the time and established the Northern Wei Empire. They shouldered the historical mission of ending the Sixteen Kingdoms, unifying the Yellow River Basin, and starting a new unification of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, so that Chinese civilization could continue, enrich and develop. The Northern Wei Empire occupied a very important historical position in continuing the continuous development of Chinese civilization. The reason why the Northern Wei Empire was able to complete this historical mission was that it recognized Chinese orthodoxy, boldly carried out Sinicization reforms, bravely absorbed Han culture, and found its own historical position from traditional Chinese culture. This book collects a total of 7 articles, of which 5 were published in various journals and 2 were published for the first time. Although these articles were written and published at different times, they express the theme of the Northern Wei Dynasty's position in the continuous development of Chinese civilization with strict logic and interlocking with each other. Therefore, they were published under the title "Research on the Position of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Chain of the Continuous Development of Chinese Civilization".

In the early years of the Republic of China, drought and famine were severe in Xinyou, Hunan, especially in the west of Xiangxi. The Hunan Huayang Relief Association, which was in charge of the relief work, decided to wait for the disaster-stricken counties in western Hunan based on the situation of smoke and seedlings. The officials and gentry in western Hunan made a lot of efforts to obtain funds for the Xinyou Relief Road, and the first construction of the Tanbao section frustrated the hope of relief. The West Road, along with the Central and South Roads who shared the same feelings of injustice, continued to question the Board of Directors while controversies continued on the road boundary around relief issues such as disaster assessment standards, work relief objectives and goals, etc. The overall deep poverty in Xiangxi is actually caused by the long-term corruption of the region by military, banditry, and drug abuse and other social anomies, and cannot be cured by the Huayang Society during the warlord separatist period. Only by relying on the correct guidance of the "targeted poverty alleviation" strategy, the state's strong support for local economy, culture and education and other undertakings, and the burst of the people's endogenous motivation to get rid of poverty, has the overall deep poverty in Western Hunan been completely eliminated today.
