"Historical Records" has two chronicles about Qin, namely "The Chronicles of Qin" and "The Chronicles of Qin Shihuang", which fully illustrates the importance Sima Qian attached to Qin. The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system and wanted to avoid the death of Qin II. Therefore, how Qin unified the world from a humble country and then collapsed in an instant has become one of the most concerned historical issues among scholars in the two thousand years since Jia Yi. From moving west to Longyou to unifying the world, it took about seven hundred years. "Historical Records of Qin" records how the Qin people grew from small to large, from weak to strong, and completely experienced the development from vassals to vassal states, then to kingdoms, and finally to empires. It reproduces the process of the "trilogy" and has classic significance in the history of ancient Chinese civilization. This book takes "Historical Records of the Qin Dynasty" as the main line, and uses relevant archaeological data as the "fourth annotation", in order to achieve the effect of the "double evidence method" in which archeology and documents mutually confirm and inspire each other. The author focuses on the question: Qin was able to finally unify the world and establish an empire from a humble small country. In addition to historical trends, there were also factors such as institutional culture, ideological concepts, etc. How did these factors sprout in the time and space of its early development? How is it reflected in material culture? How can the early development of Qin be reasonably restored and stated from an archaeological perspective? In addition, mysteries that have long been litigated in the early history of the Qin people: such as the origin of the Qin people and the origin of Qin culture, the years when King Ping moved eastward and the founding of the Qin Dynasty, the Zhou Yumin of Qin, the owner of Qin Gong's tomb in Dabaozi Mountain, and the burial place of Duke Mu, etc. Are also the focus of this book.

This book is an exchange volume on "Hu-Han China and Foreign Civilizations". It focuses on the topic of "Memory of the Han and Tang Dynasties and Silk Road Civilization", takes new archaeological discoveries as a guide, incorporates nutrients from Chinese and Western literature, adopts "cosmopolitan" thinking and observation from a broad perspective, starts from a small perspective, picks historical highlights, and launches a series of unique research results. The author combines the practice of "reading thousands of books, walking thousands of miles, and seeing thousands of objects" as well as participating in the planning of many high-quality cultural relics exhibitions. Through "words and cultural relics", "corridors and routes", and "intersections and centers", the author reflects on the unique heights that Chinese civilization has reached after diversity and collision, and understands the implicit or explicit civilizational connections between the ancient Eurasian countries and ancient China. It not only provides intellectual enlightenment for the radiation of the crossroads civilization circle, but also proves once again that cultural exchanges are the inevitable journey of mankind on the road to civilization.

Following "The God is Silent to the Dry Chess" and "The Autumn Wind Sword Lonely Tears", this is the third volume of late Qing historical essays written by Jiang Ming, including thirteen articles. There is a long and colorful textual research, which reveals the diplomatic failure of the Qing court after the "Ma Jiali Incident", the potential impact of "Jiashen Yishu" on the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1899, and the ups and downs of the "Qingliu" represented by Zhang Peilun in the political arena at that time. These events just foreshadowed the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. There are also essays with novel and interesting angles, from Hu Xueyan's bankruptcy to Sun Yat-sen's kidnapping in London; from Li Hongzhang's final residence to Zhang Peilun's love and marriage life; from the poetry and influence of Prince Chun's inspection of the Beiyang Navy to a spoonful of beef soup for health - touching on all aspects of politics, economy and life in the late Qing Dynasty. Jiang Ming is good at presenting the delicate and macroscopic sense of depth behind historical events from point to point. He combines rigorous historical research with interesting on-site visits, coupled with brisk and moving writing, to give a novel interpretation of important historical events and figures in the late Qing Dynasty. In the blend of history and reality, the true picture of that turbulent era is reproduced.

This book systematically describes the power struggle between the Manchus and the Han, the clan and the emperor, the imperial power and the cabinet, and the civil servants and military generals surrounding the "Military Aircraft Department". From the Luobuzangdanjin rebellion in the Yongzheng period to the third year of Xuantong, when the Qing government implemented the cabinet system, what role did the Military Aircraft Department play in these more than 180 years? It had a very profound impact on all aspects of politics, economy, and military affairs in the Qing Dynasty. A military information transmission and processing agency can gradually transform into an all-encompassing political decision-making agency, even openly usurping the power of the cabinet and replacing it. The Military Aircraft Office can be called a very strange phenomenon in the thousands of years of ancient Chinese political history.

Is Cao Cao actually the "doomsday savior" of Taoism? Zhuge Liang actually has the same idol as Lu Bu? Song Taizu's "conscience" actually deceived the Northern Song Dynasty! Mongolians who are not afraid of blizzards? Doesn't exist! Since the Qin Dynasty, the first unified dynasty, China has begun the era of "two thousand years of empire". But can such fixed thinking about dynasty changes and imperial autocracy summarize the vast two thousand years of history? In the vast territory of the Chinese Empire, there are the horses and sword rings of the Great Wall; there are the farming people of the Central Plains who "plant the fields with green rice in their hands"; there are Qiuci and Gaochang where Hu merchants are everywhere on the Western Silk Road; Nanshui Township... Above the court, there are turbulent undercurrents: Confucian scholars and alchemists, warlords and aristocratic families, nobles and bureaucrats... Complex forces are fighting openly and covertly outside the empire, and powerful enemies are around: vassal towns, rebels, enemy countries are eyeing... What kind of ruler can manage such a complex empire? What kind of political wisdom can maintain this delicate world?

The Yuan Dynasty was a unified dynasty established by Mongolian rulers in Chinese history. It lasted for ninety-eight years after eleven emperors were established by Kublai Khan. Counting from the founding of the country by Genghis Khan, there were fifteen emperors, one hundred and sixty-three years. The territory after the unification of the Yuan Dynasty was: Siberia in the north, South China Sea in the south, Tibet and Yunnan in the southwest, Xinjiang in the northwest, and the Sea of ​​Okhotsk in the northeast. The costumes of the Yuan Dynasty had distinct characteristics of the era and the nation, and many new clothing styles appeared. Clothing materials, colors, craftsmanship, etc. All greatly exceed those of previous generations. Before the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian people mainly lived on animal husbandry and hunting, with meat and dairy products as their main foods. "Eat meat without grain" and rarely eat grain. After the unification of the Yuan Dynasty, exchanges between Mongolian, Han and other ethnic groups were strengthened. The combination of agriculture and animal husbandry made the food composition of the Yuan Dynasty gradually more reasonable, and the cooking technology of the Yuan Dynasty developed greatly. Tea and wine have become a cultural phenomenon and have been immersed in people's daily lives. For eating utensils, pursue tall shapes and valuable materials. People in the Yuan Dynasty accumulated a lot of knowledge on food hygiene in social practice, which played a certain positive role in human health and social development at that time. The Yuan Dynasty had a vast territory and the different geographical environments of each ethnic group determined the differences in living styles. There are felt tents on the grasslands, palaces in the cities, cave dwellings in the mountainous areas, boathouses in the water towns, houses on the plains, stone houses in coastal cities and buildings in the Central and West Asian styles, etc., Thus making the Yuan Dynasty residential buildings a rich and colorful picture.

The idea of ​​reconciliation can be described as a continuation of the response of intellectuals in the early years of the Republic of China to the political, social and cultural crises faced since 1895. More than that, it is a more profound and complex reflexive response that emerges from a constitutional crisis. The mediators Zhang Shizhao, Du Yaquan, Liang Qichao, Zhang Dongsun, Li Dazhao, and Li Jiannong in the early Republic of China combined Chinese and Western experience to relentlessly explore the issue of how to achieve democratic transformation in the early Republic of China. They profoundly expressed the political wisdom of achieving democratic transformation through compromise, which was an extremely precious ideological resource in the early Republic of China. In order to distinguish it from cultural reconciliation, this book uses the concept of "political reconciliation trend" to specifically refer to political reconciliation trends. The idea of ​​reconciliation was once popular in the ideological circles in the early Republic of China and became a trend of thought, but in the end it was short-lived. This book selects the political reconciliation trend in the early Republic of China as the research object, aiming to summarize the historical experience and ideological legacy of the transition to constitutional democracy in the early Republic of China. It also has positive practical significance for today's governance of the country according to law and the construction of a socialist country under the rule of law.

The book collects a large amount of historical materials and uses time as a clue to explain the national rituals of the Nanjing Provisional Government, the Beijing Government, and the early Nanjing National Government during the Republic of China, and depicts the history of changes in national rituals in the early Republic of China. From the vertical aspect, we seize typical cases, involve the historical background and political background of national ritual performances, restore the scenes of various national ritual performances, and the social repercussions of the ceremony, and then explore the national ritual itself and the political and cultural connotations and meanings behind it. Systematically and deeply explore the complex relationship between national rituals and legitimacy construction, the subjective motivations and objective functions of national rituals, and believe that national rituals have become important tools and forms of "political expression".

After the National Government established its capital in Nanjing, it implemented the system of political training, implemented the rule of the country by the party, and the training of government by the party, and began the specific practice of Sun Yat-sen's five-power constitution.

This book explores the trajectory of Chinese population classification in the context of recent "revolution" and "Nationalism" by examining a certain aspect of the modern history of a minority community in southwest China. The introduction of modern nationalism, in the context of modern China, has strengthened the racial aspect of traditional Chinese population classification. The ideological circle tends to understand the nation and nationalism in an ethnic way. The ethnic understanding of the nation has brought about the political construction of communities. From the Ming Dynasty to the mid-19th century, Muslims as a group were mostly not mentioned in official history. In the classification of relevant groups of people in Yunnan local chronicles, Muslims are mostly "regarded as Han Chinese". However, in the mid-19th century, with the occurrence of a series of conflict events, this group was rediscovered, and then, in the context of modern Chinese revolution and nationalism, was "recognized" as an "imagined community."

In the 1930s and 1940s, the Japanese army launched a full-scale war of aggression against China and carried out germ warfare during the war. Its crimes were heinous. But after the war, he avoided trial because of U. S. Intervention. The author of "Investigation and Research on the Japanese Army's Bacteriological Warfare in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Region" conducted long-term investigations and research on the Japanese Army's bacteriological warfare materials in Ningbo, Wenzhou, Quzhou, Lishui, Yushan and other places in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi region, and obtained a large number of first-hand information such as the oral experiences of the victims and the facts of the disaster. Using the facts and data of the germ warfare launched by the Japanese army, which caused various disease outbreaks and disasters to the local people, it comprehensively exposed the despicable crimes against humanity committed by the Japanese army in the Zhejiang and Jiangxi regions, and shattered the vehement denials of the Japanese militarists and right-wing forces.

Why did traitors appear during the Anti-Japanese War? What methods of cultural and spiritual aggression did the puppet regime in North China use?

Modern Chinese nationalism is closely related to the historical environment and social and political conditions of China's ethnic issues. It not only has the direct goal of resisting foreign power, but also has the political and cultural connotation of the construction of a modern nation-state. As a political and spiritual event, the May Fourth Movement represented a new beginning in the construction of the Chinese nation-state. Based on the historical requirement of national salvation and nation-building in modern times, the logical tension between liberalism and nationalism has been "resolved" to a large extent, and they have been interactively combined in specific history. Cultural nationalism insists on the positive significance of national tradition and historical culture in the construction of the nation-state, and hopes to explore a new way out for modern China from the "creation" of national culture. As the main political forces in China in the first half of the 20th century, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party organized and applied nationalism through the values ​​and political designs they believed in, and expressed their respective national plans for nation-building.

The status of the southwest border in the eyes of the Chinese people has been significantly improved.

However, the KMT's fragile party governance system was unable to fully control the southwestern border areas. Due to the differences in the social and political structures within the southwest frontier and the fragility of the Nanjing National Government's party system, the Nanjing National Government's governance policies and practices for different provinces and regions in the southwest frontier have both commonalities and heterogeneity.
