"Research on the History of Capital Systems in Ancient China" combines documentary materials with rich archaeological excavation results, and through many field investigations, systematically studies and demonstrates the development and evolution of ancient Chinese capitals and their systems, many of which are original. Mr. Yang Kuan believes that the pre-Qin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty was the historical stage in which the closed capital system was implemented. During the Western Han and Eastern Han Dynasties, the capital system underwent a major change. The entire capital structure changed from "sitting west and facing east" to "sitting north and facing south." During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the capital system underwent another even greater change, that is, from closed to open. This is a change caused by the rapid growth of the capital's population and social and economic development.

He can be called the "King of Koi"; This is the most glorious era, but also the most dangerous era, which has attracted countless heroes to enter the arena of history. The support and abandonment of monarchs and ministers, the games and intrigues in the officialdom, the fight for the throne and secrets of the clan, the expansion and plunder of territories, the blood and intrigue of war, the ambition for power and the long-cherished wish for unification, all staged a different kind of legend in troubled times.

It presents the mirrors provided by "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" one by one. It is hoped that readers can gain historical experience and broaden their governance ideas.

The content involves major political, economic, cultural, social and other issues in the history of the Qin and Han Dynasties, such as "The Establishment of the Qin Dynasty and its Historical Situation", "The Formation of the Han Nationality and the Activities of Other Nationalities in the Country", "Commercial Cities and International Trade in the Western Han Dynasty", "On the Disaster of Party Confinement at the End of the Eastern Han Dynasty", "The Development of Confucianism in the Two Han Dynasties", etc.

This book tells the story of a decades-long game. In this protracted chess game, the Empress Dowager Cixi, Prince Gong Yixin, the important minister Sushun, as well as emerging and powerful Han ministers such as Hu Linyi, Zuo Zongtang, and Li Hongzhang all appeared on the stage and performed historical dramas. The rise of the Zeng Guofan clique destroyed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and created the so-called "Tongzhi Zhongxing"; at the same time, it greatly changed the power structure and structure, laying the foundation for the fall of the Qing Dynasty.

The real battle often happens before the battle begins. What role did Empress Dowager Cixi play in the crisis of the late Qing Dynasty? How responsible is Kang Youwei for the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898? Why does Li Hongzhang call himself a "paper maker"? How did Sun Yat-sen gradually become the "Father of the Republic" of the Republic of China?

"Outline of Chinese History" is the only monograph left by Mr. Zhang Yinlin in his short life. It was originally part of the high school history textbook that the author was hired to compile. Based on his own view of history, the author made a relatively strict selection and selection of the Chinese history before the Eastern Han Dynasty, integrated the previous research results with his own "playing and exploring", and used storytelling to write about the social changes, ideological contributions, and the personalities and activities of several important figures during the period. The chapters are arranged concisely and appropriately, the writing skills are lively and moving, the thoughts and wisdom are thorough and accessible, and the author's talent and intention are revealed at any time. In this publication, the author's unfinished Chapter 12 and the three texts written by the author for the Song History part of the book are listed as appendices. And more than 20 color pictures are selected.

"Outline of Chinese History" starts from the mythical age of Pangu and ends with the war of aggression against China launched by the Eight-Power Allied Forces in the early 20th century. It uses 100 years (a century) as the chronological unit. It is a masterpiece that covers five thousand years of Chinese history. Bo Yang had no intention of hypocritically praising the emperors and generals. He abandoned all meaningless posthumous titles and honorary titles, pulled them down from the altar, called them by their first names, and judged them as ordinary Chinese. At the same time, Bo Yang also focused on the ordinary Chinese people who were drowned by history. He sympathized with the working people, despised the powerful warlords, and took humanity and human rights as his only foothold. Therefore, "Outline of Chinese History" is a general history of China with attitude and human touch. We can learn from the "Outline of Chinese History" that there are five major turning points that have affected China's national destiny: the three golden ages (the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the prosperous Tang Dynasty during the Li Shimin period, and the Qing Dynasty established by the Manchus who entered the country) and the Great Split Era ( It was these five major turning points that established China's territory, culture, values, economic structure, social stratification and international status. When reviewing Chinese history through Bo Yang's writings, we can also find that history keeps repeating itself, and China has always learned the same lesson for thousands of years: every dynasty in Chinese history reached a bottleneck period forty or fifty years after its establishment, or when it passed to the second or third generation. When entering the narrow channel of the bottleneck, unless the ruling class has a high degree of wisdom and ability, they cannot avoid encountering a bottleneck crisis that is enough to undo all their previous efforts, that is, to destroy their country and their family. History shows that if you can get through this bottleneck, you can achieve longer-term stability; if you can't get through this bottleneck or remain stuck in this bottleneck, it will inevitably collapse. In the cycle of history, China has gone through thousands of years. Although it has gone through vicissitudes of life, it remains unyielding. As Bo Yang said: China is like a huge cube. It will topple in the waves of water and sea. But after the wave recedes, it still stands there proudly, facing the world from the other side, never disappearing, never sinking. Read "Outline of Chinese History" to understand China's past, and then create our own golden age.

This book attempts to abandon the current way of writing about food, clothing, housing and transportation in categories. It attempts to salvage the fragments of daily life scattered in the vast history from basic historical materials, Tang Dynasty notes, Tang legends, Dunhuang posthumous documents and cultural relics. It uses the cultivation of scholars and supplemented by popular writing methods to unfold the restoration of life in the Tang Dynasty through topics such as foreign civilization, clothing, nobles and civilians, food, cities, marriage, imperial examinations, art and other topics. This attempt not only makes the text highly readable, but also allows readers to understand the society of the Tang Dynasty in a parallel era through comparative writing throughout the book, allowing today's people to complete a fascinating investigation of the entire society and life of the Tang people.

This book is an academic work written by Mr. Sheng Xunchang based on the information he collected about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. However, it is different from the general academic writing method. The author targets a wider audience. He does not focus on research, but tells the historical facts and directly narrates the confirmed research conclusions to the readers. Therefore, reading this book is like reading about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The true history of going deep into its interior is also based on the author's comprehensive and sufficient grasp of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom information. It is greatly different from the previously published monographs on the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Therefore, the narrative is more comprehensive and objective. It corrects some previous discussions that relied on conjecture and guesswork due to lack of information, or concluded one-sidedly and fallaciously, or made unreasonable statements to cater to a certain trend of thought.

The first part begins with Sima Qian, the author of "Historical Records". From the origin of Sima Qian's palace punishment to the "legend" of Li Ling's family, it leads to the dynasty wars from the Sui to the Tang Dynasty, as well as the feud between the "Hongnong Yang Family" and the "Longxi Li Family" that have been entangled for hundreds of years behind the history. This part ends with the Anshi Rebellion caused by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.
