The content of this book mainly writes about the gains and losses of the Qianlong era. Through the deconstruction of the Qianlong era, the author paints a colorful picture of the "prosperous age" for readers, and at the same time profoundly reveals the lost secrets of modern China. China under Qianlong's rule was the most populous and most powerful period in China's thousands of years of history. Horizontally, it was the most powerful and wealthy country in the world at that time. It is no exaggeration to call it the greatest prosperous era in Chinese history. The Qianlong era created unprecedented political stability, supported an unprecedented population, and established today's territory. However, the author sees from a deeper level that behind the superficial prosperity is a huge crisis. Qianlong's sixty-year reign coincided with Britain going through the entire process of the industrial revolution. In the thirteenth year of Qianlong's reign (1748), Montesquieu published his famous work "The Spirit of the Laws". In the forty-first year of Qianlong's reign (1776), the United States declared independence. In the fifty-fourth year of Qianlong's reign (1789), the Bourgeois Revolution broke out in France. On the other side of the earth, Emperor Qianlong was immersed in the dream of a "prosperous age" and could not extricate himself, trying every means to maintain his feudal rule. It can be said that during this period, China missed the opportunity to contact world civilizations and failed to catch up with the tide of world development. This directly led to China's continued decline and even its status as the "sick man of East Asia." In addition, this book also introduces Qianlong's origin, personal life, personality, etc.

Chinese wisdom has gone through two stages in its development process: first, the "pre-classical" stage before the formation of classical philosophy, and second, the "classical" stage after the Six Classics were used to teach. In the previous stage, people's public knowledge was mainly formed in ritual occasions and spread through spoken language and images, thus using special symbolic methods. Later generations did not observe deeply and often made simplistic understandings based on narrow experience. In order to find the truth, this book selects a section from each of three aspects: ancient mythology, ancient art, ancient rituals and science to analyze. On the one hand, it explains the true connotation of things such as the myth of the turtle dragging its title, the art of gluttony, and astronomical phenomena during the Yin and Zhou Dynasties. On the other hand, it also explains the symbolic characteristics of ancient wisdom, the symbolic thinking of ancient Chinese people, and the linguistic characteristics of ancient images. As a supplement and improvement, this book also discusses five more theoretically significant issues: (1) The prototype of concepts such as "Beginning", "Mother", "Name" and "Dao" in "Laozi"; (2) The transition from the pre-classical world to the classic world represented by Confucius; (3) The relationship between "witchcraft" and "history"; (4) The formation of the classics; (5) The understanding of the "Axis Breakthrough" and other doctrines.

This is an era that is often overlooked. It is sandwiched between the two famous historical periods of the Three Kingdoms and the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and is almost brushed off in history textbooks. This is a purgatory-like era, with overwhelming chaos, frequent wars, and desolate lives. This is also a dreamlike era, with soaring excitement, turbulent times, and heroes emerging in large numbers. This is also an era worthy of attention. It can be said that without the Sixteen Kingdoms, there would be no Northern Dynasties, and there would be no Sui and Tang Dynasties that were later powerful. In this shining torrent of the times, there are iron-blooded gods of war and romantic celebrities, there are counterattack grassroots and restoration aristocrats, there are heroes from the Middle Earth and heroes from foreign lands. He was born a slave but ascended to the throne of emperor, this is Shi Le; his name has been preserved for thousands of years but is always full of controversy, this is Ran Min; this is Fu Jian who was tolerant and generous but was repeatedly betrayed. After a rough life, he was able to rise to the occasion, this is Liu Yuan; he has no generosity but cannot save the crisis, this is Zu Ti. In this famous era of great division in Chinese history, they interpret the diverse possibilities of history. When the "Strong Southern and Northern Dynasties" series was serialized in the Tianya community, it was highly praised by countless fans and was hailed as "one of the best-looking histories of the Southern and Northern Dynasties"!

During the late Qing Dynasty, China's feudal dynasty was irreversibly on the road to decline: Western powers invaded frequently, and the ruling group was dim and decadent... The former "Central Empire" was beset with internal and external difficulties and was in danger. This book focuses on this period of history that is humiliating and unforgettable for the Chinese people. The editor spent many years collecting more than 300 late Qing postcards, photos, drawings, stamps, letters, etc. From home and abroad, and compiled them into a volume in chronological order based on characters and events. The book not only shows the decline of the empire, represented by "representatives of the last dynasty" and "prisons and torture in the late Qing Dynasty", but also shows "the frenzy of carving up China", "the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War", "the development of Taiwan and the 'Taiwan Democratic Republic Incident'", the "Boxer Rebellion", "the Eight-Power Allied Forces' War of Invasion of China", the "Russian-Japanese War" and other major political and military events that severely damaged the empire. It vividly reproduces that period of precarious and embarrassing history. Among the pictures included in this book, postcards are undoubtedly the main body, accounting for more than 90%. The contents of these postcards are mostly documentary photography of major events and social phenomena at that time, and there are also a small number of paintings. Most of them were drawn by reporters accompanying the Eight-Power Allied Forces and foreign missionaries. They were issued by post offices in China at that time, and were purchased by Westerners and sent from China before being circulated overseas. The "Oriental landscapes" on these postcards may not be true and objective, and may be unpleasant or even deeply shameful. But "forgetting the past means betrayal" for today's readers. They open a window to vividly understand the history of the late Qing Dynasty, and their historical value and significance are self-evident. The pictures in this book are mainly based on these stamps and postcards. The editor divided them into different themes, such as "Representatives of the Last Dynasty", Prisons and Torture in the Late Qing Dynasty, "Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War", "Japanese-Russian War", etc., Supplemented by certain texts, the image vividly reproduces the precarious and lamentable history of the late Qing Dynasty.

The book is divided into ten parts: "Rebirth from the Ashes", "Reshaping the Old River", "Laying the Foundation", "Going Your Own Path", "Advancing in the Winds and Waves", "Historical Turning Point", "Century Leap", "Scientific Development", "Building the Dream of China" and "Strive for a New Era".

"The road to the great pass is really like iron, but now we are crossing it from the beginning." Looking back on the road we have traveled is to move forward better. The brilliant achievements of New China over the past seventy years since its founding have become our precious wealth and indicate the bright prospects for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

During the struggle for power, political groups dependent on imperial power continued to rise, fall, and be reborn. In the process of continuous improvement and strengthening, the imperial power politics of absolutism produced a large number of vassals: royal family, concubines, relatives, eunuchs, powerful officials, separatist regimes, vagrants and external forces. They can be a guarantee to strengthen and consolidate the imperial power, or they can be a bomb that creates hidden dangers for the imperial power. They are either benign or malignant. They always accompany the imperial power, covet the imperial power, and go through ups and downs in the changes of political power. Emperors of all dynasties have all struggled with these major forces. Who is in charge of the ups and downs in this ebb and flow?

China is a huge country with a splendid civilization history of five thousand years and full of vitality and vitality. The Chinese nation has long been standing in the east of the world, and has continued for hundreds of generations.

It took nearly three hundred years from the time when Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, raised troops in Jinyang to the time when the Tang Dynasty was destroyed by Zhu Wen. Emperor Gaozu raised an army to destroy the Sui Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong's Xuanwumen rebelled and seized power. He then worked hard to govern, select and appoint talents, and create the "Government of Zhenguan". After the third generation of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xing of the Wu Dynasty, the first female emperor in Chinese history, came to rule the world and changed the Tang Dynasty to Zhou Dynasty, continuing the prosperous age. When Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty came to the throne, he placed great emphasis on virtuous ministers and created the "Kaiyuan prosperous age". However, in his later years, he indulged in pleasure and the "An-Shi Rebellion" ruined this prosperous age. Although the Rebellion of the Eight Years of Anshi was finally put down, the Tang Dynasty never flourished again. Although there were virtuous kings in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the decline of the Tang Dynasty was unstoppable.

The Han Dynasty was the foundation period of my country's feudal society. It lasted for more than 400 years and was divided into the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty. The capital of the Western Han Dynasty was Chang'an, and the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty was Luoyang. The Eastern and Western Han Dynasties created many important systems in Chinese history, laying the foundation for the establishment and development of institutional systems in subsequent dynasties in China. During this period, in addition to its strong political, economic, and military strength, the Han Dynasty also made fruitful achievements in ideology, culture, art, and science and technology. This book takes you on a journey through the history of the Han Dynasty and appreciate the long history of Chinese culture in a simple and in-depth way.

Zhu Wen's destruction of the Tang Dynasty ended nearly three centuries of splendor and splendor of the Tang Dynasty, and also started half a century of division and war in China. Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han and Later Zhou emerged alternately in the Central Plains. In the end, Zhao Kuangyin, who launched the Chenqiao mutiny, joined the army, thus ending the Five Dynasties and establishing the Song Dynasty. The Central Plains has been unified, but outside the Central Plains region, the former Shu, Hou Shu, Wu, Southern Tang, Wuyue, Fujian, Chu, Southern Han, Nanping (Jingnan), Northern Han, etc. Are still performing the drama of big fish eating small fish. However, reunification has become a general trend. No matter whether you are conscientious or ignorant, you will never escape the fate of destroying the country.

Xia, Shang, and Zhou are collectively called the "Three Dynasties" because they cannot be counted as a "dynasty". The term "chao" refers to the Qin Dynasty and later. The main difference is whether there is a strong and powerful central government that governs the country. This was the case in Qin and beyond, but it was different in Xia, Shang, and Zhou. At best, they could be regarded as tribal alliances, tribal-state alliances, or state-state alliances. Their so-called central power is only based on the land of "China", which is the center of the world in their perception. However, their control over all parts of the country and the princes is very weak and unreliable. This is different from the Qin and Han Dynasties and beyond.

During the Warring States Period, society was turbulent and heroes came together. The seven powerful states of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin fought against each other in a battle of wits and courage, and launched a desperate contest. If you unite vertically, I will unite horizontally. Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Sun Bin, Zhao She, Le Yi, Zou Ji, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Wei Yang and other famous ministers and generals all appeared on the stage, each showing his style in the gathering.

When we talk about history, we are just talking about people, so when we talk about ancient history, we also start with people. Where did man come from? People in ancient times couldn't explain it at all, so the idea that the Creator God created man and the world emerged. There is God in the West, and we in the East also have Pangu and Nuwa. In the era when this kind of deification of the Creator God occurred, even if writing had not yet been invented, there must have been language and simple social organization. But humans probably evolved from monkeys. Monkeys don't make up a myth and pass it down orally to future generations. Therefore, when people first became human, they did not have those deifications. Since there is no mythology as a reference, it is naturally impossible to have historical data. But we still have to talk about ancient history, and we have to talk about it clearly, and this requires archeology.

Yang Jian, who was born in the Yang family of Hongnong, rose from the position of abbot of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty. In the process, he carefully avoided the hidden arrows of Yu Wenhu, the powerful minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the suspicion of Yu Wenyong, the Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After the mediocre Emperor Xuan ascended the throne, Yang Jian finally waited for the opportunity to change dynasties and establish the Sui Dynasty. During this period, he worked hard and worked hard, and finally created the "Kaihuang Rule". However, under the instigation of Queen Dugu, Yang Jian deposed the crown prince and established Yang Guang, which was a big mistake. Although Yang Guang made contributions to the country after his death, his headstrong and arrogant character eventually led him to embark on the path of militarism and disregard of human life. In the end, heroes rose up and the Sui Dynasty perished.

The Northern Song Dynasty was the most prosperous era of economic and cultural prosperity in ancient Chinese history, and was called China's Renaissance by many Western historians. During this period, Confucianism was revived, and the literary world of the Northern Song Dynasty gathered together with stars, such as Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Che, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Zeng Gong, Yan Shu, Yan Jidao, Fan Zhongyan, Liu Yong, Huang Tingjian, Zhou Bangyan... It is no wonder that some people say that "since the Qin Dynasty, literature has not flourished in the Song Dynasty." Why does this happen? It is probably due to Zhao Kuangyin's national policy of "emphasis on literature and suppression of martial arts". But this has a big drawback, that is, the military is not strong, and it is always at a disadvantage when facing the Liao and Xixia in the north. The "Chanyuan Alliance" only relieved the pressure on the Northern Song Dynasty, but the military laxity directly led to the "Jingkang Disgrace". The Jin Kingdom captured Bianliang, and Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were both captured. The Song Dynasty had to move south to Hangzhou to establish its capital, and this was the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Although the Three Kingdoms returned to the Jin Dynasty, the unified Western Jin Dynasty only lasted for fifty years. After the Eight Kings Rebellion, they had no choice but to migrate southward, which began with the Eastern Jin Dynasty and developed into the later Southern Dynasties, namely the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen Dynasties. These four dynasties, together with the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the previous Dongwu Dynasty, are collectively referred to as the "Six Dynasties" in history. The Northern Dynasties were basically ruled by the Xianbei people, and went through the Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, Western Wei, Northern Qi, Northern Zhou, and the Sui Dynasty, which replaced the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, its leader was fatuous. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the situation. In addition, the last wise emperor of the Southern Dynasty, Chen Xu, died of illness. The century-long division between the north and the south finally ended, and the Sui and Tang Dynasties began. This book tells the story of the turbulent and vibrant era of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

As the last feudal dynasty in China, the Qing Dynasty has endless stories: the Aixinjueluo family has an ancient and mysterious legend. It is said that the reckless hero Nurhachi started with thirteen suits of armor and formed an indissoluble bond with the big green horse and the yellow dog; Huang Taiji stood out among many princes and ascended the throne, and staged a show with Hai Lanzhu A love affair that moved the world and moved the world; Emperor Shunzhi did not love the country but beauty, so he became a monk after his death because of his deep love for Concubine Dong E; Emperor Kangxi planned to capture Obai, cut off vassals and quelled the rebellion, creating a century-old foundation for the prosperous times of Kangxi and Qianlong; in his later years, he deposed the prince and established a relationship, setting off a drama of the Nine Dragons seizing the throne; Emperor Yongzheng was burdened with usurping the throne There are different opinions on the cause of death; Emperor Qianlong was known as the "Old Man of Perfection", but his life experience is a mystery that cannot be explained clearly; Emperor Jiaqing did one major thing in his life, which was to eradicate corruption and corruption; Emperor Daoguang had no merit except frugality; Emperor Xianfeng had no vision, courage, talent, or achievements, and died. Emperor Tongzhi stayed in the summer resort, causing the government to fall into the hands of Cixi; Emperor Tongzhi lingered in the flowers and died shortly, and the cause of his death was aroused; Emperor Guangxu, although he was determined to reform and strengthen himself, was unable to do so, and ended up in prison, and the cause of his death was even related to a murder case; Emperor Xuantong announced his abdication due to internal and external troubles only three years after he ascended the throne. At this point, the twelve emperors of the Qing Dynasty took turns to appear on the stage, finishing their lives on the stage of history and then calling their curtains.

The Hunan Army is an armed force that commands the attention of both China and foreign countries in modern Chinese history. At a time when China's destiny was in the sunset and the Qing government was in danger and almost unsustainable, the appearance of the Hunan Army was a shot in the arm for the Qing court. It was not only the Qing court's hope for stabilizing the domestic political situation, but also the force that the Qing court relied on to fight externally and maintain the overall situation of unification. As a result, the late Qing court also had a vague atmosphere of resurgence. At the same time, it was this army that created the status of Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Peng Yulin and others as famous officials of the ZTE. This book uses rich historical materials to comprehensively tell the history of the Hunan Army's civil war and foreign wars. The civil war mainly included the bloody battles between the Hunan Army and the Taiping Army and the Nian Army. The foreign war mainly included the struggle between the Hunan Army and foreign enemies such as the Agub invaders, Tsarist Russia, France, Japan, and Germany, such as Zuo Zongtang's recovery of Xinjiang, the Sino-French War, and the Sino-Japanese War of 1888-1895. Every battle is concrete and tangible, and the characters are described with flesh and blood. At the same time, this book provides an in-depth and three-dimensional interpretation of this highly distinctive armed force that "does not want officials, does not want money, and does not want lives" from many aspects such as personnel composition (soldiers are selected as generals, and soldiers are generals), military training concepts (military discipline, ideological education), strategies and tactics (static), humanistic character (Hunan people's domineering character). Yang Du once said, "If China is destroyed, all Hunan people must die!" This is an extremely accurate explanation of the Hunan Army's loyalty, iron-bloodedness, and good fighting skills.
