This book is a monograph on the history of the Maritime Silk Road. Using time as the longitude and events as the latitude, it combs the historical process of the rise, development, decline and prosperity of the Guangxi Maritime Silk Road, and demonstrates that the Beibu Gulf of Guangxi was the departure port of my country's Maritime Silk Road in the Han Dynasty, an important channel for connecting western China to ASEAN, an important strategic fulcrum of the "Belt and Road Initiative", and a new growth pole for my country's economic landscape. This book aims to clarify the promotion effect of various social factors on the Maritime Silk Road and the counter-effect of the Maritime Silk Road on local economic development, and to explore the laws and significance of the development of the Guangxi Maritime Silk Road. It has a good reference value for studying the economic and trade development of the Maritime Silk Road and cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.

Based on a large number of original documents, this book uses time as its warp and "Water Margin" research topics as its latitude, and systematically sorts out the research on "Water Margin" over the past 400 years since Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. The book is divided into the following parts: The "Introduction" part explains the reasons for selecting the topic and the current research status. The first chapter is "Research on "Water Margin" in Ming and Qing Dynasties", which mainly discusses the research on "Water Margin" in Rong Yutang's version and Jin Shengtan's commentary version, as well as the literati's notes in Ming and Qing Dynasties. The second chapter is "Modern and Modern Research on "Water Margin"", which mainly analyzes and introduces the research results of modern scholars, especially Hu Shi, Lu Xun, Zheng Zhenduo and others. Chapters 3 to 5 are an introduction and analysis of the research on "Water Margin" since the founding of New China, with a rather detailed review and analysis from five aspects: the book, author, edition, text and comments. Finally, the "Appendix" section briefly introduces the research status of "Water Margin" outside mainland China, while the "Remaining Discussion" summarizes the research status of "Water Margin" over more than 400 years and looks forward to the research on "Water Margin" in the 21st century.

"History of Contemporary Chinese Literary Criticism Concepts" systematically sorts out the development of contemporary Chinese literary criticism concepts from the founding of New China to 2016. In the order of "history", the manuscript extracts clues to the construction and deepening of the "realist literary theory system", as well as the dilemma and revival. It also deeply analyzes "literary criticism and the construction of literary ideology", "the adventure of scientific methodology in the field of literature", "literature is human studies" and other iconic issues that are of great significance in the history of Chinese literary criticism, and makes objective evaluations.

This book introduces the progress and important results of historical geography since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and looks forward to the future development trend of historical geography. Different from many previously published reviews of historical geography, although this book also emphasizes that historical geography has achieved fruitful results since the founding of the People's Republic of China and once had a wide range of influence, it also focuses on analyzing the problems existing in the current historical geography discipline as a whole. That is, because historical geography belongs to geography in terms of subject attributes, it also belongs to history in the subject classification of the Ministry of Education. , This contradictory state of subject affiliation has caused great obstacles to the development of historical geography; and in recent years, the research methods of geography have been increasingly expanded, while history has gradually moved from textual research to explanation, but historical geography has failed to keep up with the development of both, so it has become increasingly marginalized in both. Faced with this dilemma, historical geography must re-examine research methods and subject purposes in the future.

The chapters in this book can be divided into three parts. The first part includes the first and second chapters, which mainly look for the laws of the development of geography from the traces of its development history, as well as the manifestations of the factors involved in these laws in the history of thought. The second part includes chapters 3, 4, 5, and 6, which mainly examines the historiography methodology of the history of geography. The historical materials come from representative historical materials of geography at home and abroad. It especially discusses the representative works of the contextual historiography methodology and the scientific and social history methodology. Chapters 7 to 11 are the last part of the book. These chapters are concerned with the overall characteristics of the development of contemporary geography. Among them, Chapter 7 provides a review of humanistic trends and influences in geography, trying to explain the significance of geography maintaining the necessary tension between rationality (narrow sense) and humanities; Chapter 8 discusses public issues in contemporary geography, sorting out some behavioral measures to achieve tension between geography academics and the public; Chapter 8 Chapter nine focuses on analyzing the different intellectual backgrounds of the debate on the "First Law of Geography". The main differences in the debate come from the differences in the scientific philosophy and sociology of science between the two parties; Chapter 10 focuses on the evolution of the paradigm of contemporary geography in China; Chapter 11 focuses on analyzing the different intellectual backgrounds in the discussion of contemporary geography development strategies.

Water transportation and canal transportation in ancient China lasted for nearly two thousand years. Water transport in each dynasty had its quantity and expansion, but essentially it was sustainable in the Ming and Qing dynasties and unsustainable in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The study of world history in New China has gone through seventy years, and has made remarkable achievements in discipline construction, system creation, teaching and research, and talent cultivation. Guided by Marx's historical materialism and dialectics, this book makes a concise summary of my country's world history research over the past seventy years into three stages - the founding of New China, the period of the "Cultural Revolution" and the new period of reform and opening up. It summarizes the fields, key points and issues involved in each stage, compares the progress of domestic predecessors and foreign academic research, points out the achievements and existing gaps in world history research at each stage, explores the subjective and objective reasons, and proposes the direction of future efforts. Then, each branch of world history is reviewed one by one, including research theories and methods, world history, chronological history, regional history, national history, historical figures, historical events, the depth and characteristics of thematic history research, as well as discipline construction, talent training, and the collation, introduction and translation of domestic and foreign literature and materials.

The 70-year historical process of contemporary Chinese poetry should be divided into three stages: the "socialist period" (1949-1976), the "socialist adjustment period" (1977-1991) and the "post-socialist period" (1992-2019), based on the value construction and historical characteristics. They have historical connections passed down from one generation to the next, and also show the uniqueness of literature itself. The traditional history of poetry criticism usually adopts the "historical theory" historical view and analysis model. This model is certainly historical and persuasive, but it can also easily suppress the uniqueness of the history of novel criticism, and it is especially easy to ignore the subjectivity of criticism and the extremely vivid and rich details. This book highlights the history of contemporary poetry criticism from "big history" and places all the weight of theoretical thinking and narrative on it. Through the narration and analysis of different poetic practices in each period, the development process and characteristics of contemporary China in the past 70 years are deeply discussed.

This book comprehensively displays the research status and development process of contemporary China in the field of modern history theory. It mainly discusses the establishment of the theoretical paradigm of modern history (involving issues such as the origin, foundation and methods of modern history theory), and introduces the period from 1966 to 1976. The modern history narrative and its theoretical situation are reviewed, and the theoretical research situation of modern history in the new era is reviewed (including reflection and reconstruction of the path of Chinese Marxist historiography, theoretical rethinking of various issues in Chinese modern history, discussion of research paradigms of modern Chinese history, etc.).

The study of modern literature in contemporary China is rich in content and has achieved remarkable results. From the establishment of the discipline in the 1950s to the reconstruction and adjustment in the 1980s and 1990s, the development path of the discipline has been complicated but always full of vitality. On the basis of briefly outlining the development of the discipline and analyzing the basic interests and characteristics of modern literary research in different periods, this book introduces and analyzes the main achievements of modern literary research in the past seventy years in the fields of literary trends of thought and community schools, research on the works of important writers, and stylistic research. It strives to provide a useful reference for summarizing the historical experience of modern literary research and looking forward to the future development of the discipline.

This is an era in which Confucianism no longer dominates, thoughts are diverse, and people's individuality and style are respected. This is another era where literature and art are paramount, art is colorful, and unique literary and artistic spirit is demonstrated. Secularity and transcendence are the two poles of his literary and artistic spirit. From the Western Jin Dynasty to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, literati (Lu Ji, Wang Xizhi, Gu Kaizhi...) And literature and art went hand in hand for more than 150 years, creating the long-renowned "Beauty of Jin People". Tao Qian, with his unique character, also balanced the transcendent spirit of Eastern Jin Dynasty literature and art, and together with Wang Xizhi, Gu Kaizhi and others, he became a literary giant that shines in ancient and modern times!

Researchers in the history of ideas focus on the mutual shaping of history and ideas in order to understand countries, societies and individuals in history. However, the field called "history of ideas" has undergone quite important changes in the past few decades. Not only has the focus of research been shifted repeatedly, but the research methods have been updated and updated. Even the research on the history of ideas itself has become a multi-billion-year-old, integrating with various specialized disciplines. Based on the above understanding, the Institute of Literature and History of Fudan University has established the "Fudan University High-end Forum on Ideological History" since 2019. It is an annual forum that invites scholars from around the world to stimulate ideas and conduct new research on old history. This book collects the results of the first "Fudan University High-end Forum on the History of Thought" held in December 2019. The theme of this forum is "Thousands of Incarnations: An Open History of Ideas", hoping to respond to the many twists and turns encountered in the study of the history of ideas, and to bring together scholars from various fields to share concerns about the research issues in the history of ideas.

This book is an attempt by Chinese and Western scholars to jointly write the history of Christianity in China. It aims to learn from and integrate the Chinese and Western research methods and results that have emerged in the past 30 years. Through two parts: chronicle and thematic history, it strives to present a readable, accurate, and interdisciplinary history of Christianity in China to help us better understand the historical phenomenon of the sinicization of Christianity. Today in the 21st century, when people look back at the history of Christianity from the West to the East from a cross-cultural perspective, they will find that it has gone through a long process of adjustment in Chinese society, during which there were cultural collisions and agitation, as well as frustration and discomfort; there were ideological confrontations and oppositions, as well as understanding and recognition. Although Christianity has limited influence in China, it is an important example of cross-cultural communication. The Sinicization of Christianity proves that China is not a closed country. Even if Christianity is very different from the local culture, it can be absorbed and evolved into Chinese Christianity, thus becoming a part of Chinese history and culture.

Everyone knows the theory of relativity, but few people know that the proposal and verification of the theory of relativity transcended the barriers of war and nationalism and combined the efforts of two scientists from hostile countries to form a cornerstone of international scientific consensus. This book is a gripping and humanistic history of science. It not only shows the history of the conquest of the world by the theory of relativity, but also presents the First World War, which was full of estrangement and hostility, and how Einstein and Eddington, who were in hostile countries, made extraordinary efforts and overcame unimaginable hardships to make the theory of relativity the foundational theory of modern physics. This work by Matthew Stanley is an epic about how scientific rationality and the spirit of curiosity defeat prejudice and nationalism. It is also a paean to the contemporary scientific spirit and international cooperation.

Chinese clothing has a long history, and its development process can be regarded as a vivid cultural history. The long development process of Chinese clothing culture from the Xia Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty shows the unique style and changing trajectory of clothing in each dynasty. As an important carrier of social culture, clothing not only reflects the aesthetic concepts and craftsmanship levels of different historical periods, but also profoundly reflects social structure, cultural integration and political changes.

"Technology and Civilization" brings together pioneering methods and rich and informative historical data, and it also explains a novel theory that is still very forward-looking today: people internalize the external world and externalize the inner world - our greatest success in material activities is often the projection of our deep spiritual needs and the greatest rational and irrational passions. Therefore, understanding technology is not only the first step in reorienting our civilization, but also a means of understanding society and, by extension, ourselves. Mumford is surprisingly optimistic in his examination of the plight of early modern society. He identifies the nature of the problems that lead to economic, social, and environmental collapse, including the militarization of social organization, the waste of resources, the gross destruction of natural systems, and the promotion of mindless consumerism as the ultimate satisfaction in life. He believes that it is entirely possible that the injustices of the paleotechnical period will eventually be replaced by a humanizing new technological era. But after witnessing the Cold War, the nuclear arms race, the mystification of public opinion, and more, his original confidence no longer existed and was replaced by growing skepticism. Perhaps it is for this reason that we should revisit Mumford's former thinking. Back then, the light had not yet been obscured by shadows and the best possibilities still existed. Let us ask with young Lewis Mumford: What kind of world do we want to build?

This book introduces representative writers and their works from various countries in the history of Western literature. The language is fluent and highly readable.

"History of Chinese Art (Volume 2)" (Three Kingdoms, Two Jins, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang to Two Songs) This volume shows the development of Chinese art in the fields of painting, calligraphy, sculpture, architecture, etc., From the third century to the thirteenth century AD. It also pays attention to social changes in different eras and explores the social thoughts and humanistic values ​​behind artistic works. During these thousands of years, the Chinese nation has experienced the blending of various cultures and has been constantly rejuvenated: since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there has been the integration and development of foreign Buddhist art and local civilization, as well as the formation of local religion-Taoism and its symbiotic dance with calligraphy; during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, figure painting gradually matured, and in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, there was the rise of landscape painting. In the late Tang Dynasty, the rise of flower-and-bird painting and "super realism" painting showed another mood of the times. At the same time, Chinese intellectuals gradually developed research on early Chinese art history, marking the high maturity of Chinese art; then the ink art of the Song Dynasty gradually matured, and calligraphy art and painting art diverged again, affecting the development of Chinese art in the following hundred years; the establishment of literati painting standards epoch-making opened up two aesthetic tendencies, the court and the folk, and Chinese art continued to develop in a more diversified direction...

Over the past 100,000 years, humans have built large cooperative networks and accumulated tremendous power. However, continuous inventions and conquests have also pushed mankind into an existential crisis. The global ecosystem is on the verge of collapse and false information is rampant. We are heading headlong into an era of artificial intelligence composed of new information networks that could destroy us. Why are humans so intelligent, but always prone to self-destruction? Why have we reached the brink of ecological and technological suicide? When inhuman intelligence threatens human survival, how can humans make wise choices? From oral stories, to writing, to artificial intelligence, "Beyond Homo Sapiens" tells how information networks have shaped us and our world through the long lens of history. It invites us to think about the complex relationships between information and truth, myth and bureaucracy, wisdom and power, and explores the key dilemmas that different social structures face when trying to build information networks. If we broaden our horizons and look at how human information networks have developed over the past few thousand years, we may be able to better understand what is happening today and in the future.

As a unique policy to relieve famine and support the people, loan relief has been an important aspect of famine management practice for thousands of years, and to a certain extent, it has maintained the continuation and development of smallholder family agriculture in ancient China. Compared with other famine relief measures, although relief loans are also embedded in the bureaucracy and governance system of feudal countries and can therefore be explained by political discourses such as maintaining rule, consolidating political power, and achieving continued exploitation, it has its own particularities in terms of institutional culture, operational logic, and mechanism design. On the one hand, the famine relief loan system is derived from the moral relationship between the state and farmers in ancient China, and at the same time it promotes the continuous shaping of this moral relationship. It takes the moral responsibility of the rulers to the peasants as an important logical starting point, and takes "benevolence" and "righteousness" as the core evaluation criteria. On the other hand, in ancient emergency disaster relief measures, free relief reflected relief in a pure sense, which was no different from benevolent charity. Affordable relief relied on market mechanisms and used state-controlled prices to provide conditional relief to poor people who had difficulty making a living.

The Byzantine Empire is probably the longest-existing state entity in the world, spanning Europe, Asia, and Africa. From the time when Constantinople was established as its capital in 330 AD, it lasted 1,123 years until Constantinople fell into the hands of the Ottoman Empire in 1453. The Byzantine Empire was a typical medieval feudal state in the era of human religious culture. The main branch of Christianity, "Oriental Orthodoxy," was its state religion. Because it has a beginning and an end, it is the most complete example of a medieval country. Its literature of more than 1,300 years (including more than 200 years after the fall of the country) is a complete model of medieval literature. Although its main body is literature shrouded in Christian doctrine, its literary thoughts are extremely complex and contain almost all literary thoughts of later generations; in terms of themes, it also contains almost all kinds of literary motifs of later generations; in terms of literary forms, it has created all literary genres except "film and television literature".
