The writing of Chinese history in the 20th century has been complicated by various schools, methods, and viewpoints, and there have even been fierce debates. It is worth noting that many of these wonderful "confrontations" in writing Chinese history are largely reflected in how to write "ancient history." This book provides a clear and well-organized explanation and exploration of the construction of "ancient history" in the writing of Chinese history in the 20th century. The discussion is guided by the specific "problems" of the construction of China's "ancient history". Among the specific "problems", time is basically used as a clue to unfold them. There are also connections between each "problem". It strives to combine horizontal research and vertical discussion to present the overall appearance of the construction of China's "ancient history". This book relies on the profession of historiography, adjusts problem awareness, and improves investigation methods. It aims to dig out new meanings from old topics studied by "historical works" and "historians" and open up a new space for the study of modern Chinese history.

The Hexi Corridor belongs to the inland river arid area of ​​northwest my country. The overlapping and interweaving of factors such as population increase, land expansion, vegetation destruction, and intensified desertification during historical periods have intensified the contradiction between water supply and demand, and water disputes have emerged one after another. This book combs through historical documents such as local chronicles, official archives, and folk materials to comprehensively display the characteristics and social control mechanisms of the Hexi Corridor's water conservancy society in the historical period. It analyzes and discusses the complex relationship between the state and society in responding to the water crisis, and strives to provide typical cases in the western arid zone for the study of regional water conservancy society history.

This book is funded by the Zhejiang Province Intangible Cultural Heritage Inheritance Teaching Base Project and the Huzhou Philosophy and Social Science Research Base. The study of modern Chinese history occupies an important position in the study of Chinese history. In recent years, the study of modern Chinese history has been in the ascendant and vigorous.

Guided by Marx's materialist view of history, this book uses relevant theories from political science and history to conduct a systematic and comprehensive study on the ideological roots, formation process, content and characteristics of the identity construction of the Japanese in Edo by combining theoretical analysis and empirical analysis, historical method and logical method, macro perspective and micro perspective. In addition to commonly used concepts for studying identity construction such as "identity construction", "cultural nationalism" and "others", this book proposes new concepts for analyzing identity construction such as "we think", "custom", "cultural homeland" and "customary homeland", and uses them for practical analysis. This book believes that identity construction is a product of creation or construction, an operation of "I am, therefore I am", and an operation of "always on the road"; "identity construction" is the communication and dialogue between the present self and the historical self, and also the communication and dialogue between the self and the other.

This book is based on the Ming and Qing Dynasties, focusing on historians, Confucian doctors, and lawyers, and studies the specialization and social changes of intellectual groups in modern times. The Ming and Qing Dynasties were a major social transition period in China from tradition to modernity. Social changes were dramatic and complex, and were the key points in the turning point and the "Great Divergence" in the fate of Chinese and Western history. Many important phenomena, events, and issues that emerged during this period have distinct characteristics of the times and have widespread and far-reaching influence. To examine social changes in this transitional period, knowledge groups are one of the most effective academic perspectives. As an important part of social groups, knowledge groups are not only a constituent element of social structure, but also the main driving force for social operations and social changes. The specialization of knowledge groups gradually focuses on and devotes itself to certain aspects or aspects, showing a trend of professional development. This trend of specialization is closely related to the socialization and professionalization of knowledge groups, and is also linked to issues such as the socialization process of knowledge, changes in regional society, and movements of social classes. The specialization of modern knowledge groups is different from the modern disciplinary knowledge system, public service characteristics and other connotations of professional groups in the modern sense, but it is an important link and process in the transformation of knowledge groups from tradition to modernity.

This book uses "space" as the entry point and the process of urban change as a clue to explore issues related to Linqing's urbanity and modernity. "Space" here refers not only to geographical space or tangible space, but also to social space or invisible space, or the unity of these spaces. By analyzing the relationship between different historical periods, different social classes, different urban landscapes and urban societies, a platform for "dialogue" is built between history and reality; through the continuous "reproduction" process of urban space, the relationship between "space and power" is explored, revealing how dominant power combines with various social and cultural forces under different historical conditions, and then affects people's concepts and practices in various spatial carriers or shapes. Furthermore, the discussion of urban spatial changes and its life course will also help to deepen the understanding of the historical practical logic of national transformation in modern times.

The Miao epic "King Yalu" is an important material that reflects the ancient Miao military activities, economic concepts, life rituals, productive labor, folk concepts, and daily life. It is the basis for the Masan Miao people to explore their ancestral origins. This book develops arguments along two lines. One line is a block study along the core functions, knowledge-derived functions and practice-derived functions of the epic, aiming to clarify how the social functions of the epic "King Yaru" affect social operation in a "center-periphery" context. The other line is a strip study along the functions of binding and maintaining reality, expanding and realizing cross-border functions, and constructing and expressing identity, aiming to respond to how the epic "King Yaru" implements in the game between tradition and modernity with a functional typology. The two clues jointly point to the four states of the epic "King Yalu", namely, historical reality and the state of the epic "past", cultural tradition and the state of the epic "the past that is not the past", regional culture and the state of the epic "the present that is not the past", and the internal structure and the state of the epic "the past is still the past".

This book conducts an overall study of Zhu Xi's historical thoughts. Zhu Xi took the Theory of Heaven as the cornerstone of his theory, and his historical philosophy was divided into three levels: Heavenly Principles, Events, and Mental Techniques. He had the characteristics of "using reason to explain history and using history to prove reason", and completely constructed a system of righteousness and history. Zhu Xi emphasized the complementarity of historical styles in the compilation of historical works, and the historian's mental skills in argumentation were the intermediate link between Liu Zhiji's three great historians and Zhang Xuecheng's theory of history. This book examines the writing process of "Zizhi Tongjian Gangmu" and denies the view that the Siku officials followed Wang Bai's work in the late Song Dynasty and that the book was written by Zhao Shiyuan. In the process of Zhu Xi being "sage-ed", the backward factors in his historical thoughts had a greater impact on later generations.

The Northern Song Dynasty government's move to build fortifications in the northwest region has always been the focus of academic circles.

That is, in addition to war, more attention is paid to people's livelihood, and soft management of grassroots society is strengthened. Through continuous cultural integration, effective management and control of the border from inside to outside, from micro to macro is achieved.

This achievement is based on the systematic understanding gained by the author's participation in the national "Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty Project" and "Chinese Ancient Civilization Discovery Project" in the past twenty years. Based on an in-depth summary of the origin and development path of Chinese civilization and the laws that are clearly different from Western civilization, it is concluded that the Chinese epic system and the Western epic system have different backgrounds. Therefore, it breaks through the shackles of Western epic theories, concepts and terminology, proposes China's own Chinese epic concepts, terminology, etc., And summarizes the theoretical system of Chinese Chinese epic. Among them, an in-depth study was conducted on the corresponding relationship between "poems" and "epics" in Chinese, and new understandings were put forward.

From the time when the "Five Elements Chronicles" was first established in the "Book of Han" to the "Manuscript of the History of the Qing Dynasty", there are 18 official histories in ancient China that contain the "Five Elements Chronicles" (or chronicles of a similar nature to the "Five Elements Chronicles"). For more than a thousand years, the writing of official history "Five Elements Chronicles" has continued continuously, becoming a noteworthy historical phenomenon. Among them, the "Five Elements Chronicles" contained in the "Song Book", "Nan Qi Book" and "Wei Book", the main official histories of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, are rich in content, contain a large amount of historical information, and vividly reflect the social and political changes at that time. Through research, this book finds that the writing style of the Five Elements Chronicles is weird and full of various irrational elements. However, behind these appearances, it reflects the real political struggles and reflects the "natural disasters and other problems of the era." This "weird" writing actually reflects the reality of history in a tortuous way.

Most of the rites recorded in the seventeen chapters of "Rituals" were no earlier than the period of King Mu of the Zhou Dynasty. The so-called Zhou rites may be the result of King Mu's ritual reform.

The Beiyang Group, represented by Yuan Shikai, emerged during the New Deal period in the late Qing Dynasty and was the main political force that influenced the political situation in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Feng Guozhang, one of the "Three Heroes of Beiyang", is a major member of Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Group. During the great social transformation at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Feng Guozhang changed from a military general in Beiyang to the governor of Zhili, Jiangsu and other places, which had an important impact on Yuan Shikai's strengthening of centralization and the political situation in the early Republic of China.

Based on the perspective of institutional history, this book makes a systematic and in-depth discussion of the life course, organizational system and internal logic of the Yellow River management system in the Qing Dynasty, as well as the personnel rights relationships contained therein. It not only focuses on presenting its overview, but also pays attention to exploring the dynamic mechanism of system evolution, analyzing the value and significance of its existence, and striving to reveal the close relationship between Yellow River management and national politics. This book believes that compared with ordinary systems, this system is more sensitive to the general political situation. The main reason is that the political mission of Yellow River management in the Qing Dynasty was further strengthened. It not only embodies the ruler's grand strategic conception, but also conceals the political and cultural traditions of that period. As a result, the Yellow River in the Qing Dynasty became a "political river" to a large extent.
