This book is the first monograph in domestic academic circles to systematically study the Japanese atrocities in Nanjing from an American perspective. On the one hand, the book uses a large number of third-party first-hand materials such as diplomatic archives and diaries of decision-makers to demonstrate with irrefutable facts the various atrocities committed by the Japanese army in Nanjing and their relevance; on the other hand, through the above-mentioned first-hand materials, the author demonstrates for the first time at home and abroad that US President Roosevelt not only understood the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in Nanjing, but also responded to them. This book also examines the negative impact of the Japanese atrocities in Nanjing on American public opinion and the resulting American boycott of Japanese goods and its effects, and reveals the connection between the outbreak of the Pacific War and the Japanese atrocities in Nanjing.

In March 1922, 12 Western scholars headed by the American scholar Morse established the West China Frontier Studies Society at West China Union University in Chengdu. The society aims to study the politics, humanities, customs, environment and impact on local people in West China (Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Tibet, Gansu, etc.). It plans to promote research through surveys, loaning equipment, holding lectures, publishing papers, and publishing journals. Later, scholars from Britain, the United States, Canada, France, Germany, China, Australia and other countries joined, and the membership once reached more than 540 people. Chinese scholars joined in 1930, and by 1950, 120 people had participated. In the 1940s, Chinese scholars gradually became the main force in West China studies. The Society is the first international academic research institution in modern China with the West China Frontier as its purpose. It occupies an indispensable position in the academic history of modern China and also occupies an important position in Chinese Frontier Studies. It is an important symbol of the transformation from individual-based research methods to specialized academic institutional research activities. This project is the first to conduct a comprehensive and systematic basic research on the West China Frontier Studies Society itself, which will fill the gap in the academic community in the absence of academic monographs on the society itself. It not only corrects the view of the Society as a "reactionary Western academic institution" after 1950, but also re-evaluates the Society based on its archives and published documents. It also places the Society in the context of global politics and politics to discuss its founding and development, and comprehensively evaluates the Society's historical role, value, contribution and influence, and even its important position in the history of modern Chinese academic history, the history of modern Chinese frontiers, the history of international Sinology, the history of cultural exchanges between China and the West, and the history of the spread of Christianity in West China.

This book questions the historical conclusion that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took a major political turn in his later years. Starting from the perspective of historical origin research and new historiography, this article discusses how "Zizhi Tongjian" written by Sima Guang shaped the political image of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years. It points out that there are serious problems with the historical materials "Hanwu Stories" on which it is based. It believes that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not change his political line as expected by Sima Guang in his later years, and points out that "Tongjian" cannot be used as a general historical material for studying the history of the Qin and Han Dynasties. This book is a case-based historical study, reminding researchers and ordinary readers that the accuracy of historical materials is the basis for the argumentation of historical works.

The Yuan Dynasty lasted a total of ninety-seven years from the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty by Kublai Khan in 1271 to the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang captured Yuan Dadu in 1368 and the Yuan Shun Emperor, the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, fled north. If we count from the establishment of the Mongol Empire by Genghis Khan Temujin in 1206, it only lasted one hundred and sixty-two years. Compared with the previous Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty and the subsequent Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, there is no doubt that the Yuan Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty. Although the reign of the Yuan Dynasty was very short, this period of history was colorful and magnificent, and it was a colorful chapter in the long scroll of history. The Yuan Dynasty, as a connecting dynasty in Chinese history, had a profound impact on the history of China and the world. The Yuan Dynasty was neither a fleeting meteor nor a small country that suddenly appeared. Its brilliant and majestic appearance is like a Mongolian lion, showing its majesty without anger. Things change and people change.

This book is Professor Wei Feide's doctoral thesis, an academic work that studies China's transformation into modern times in the late Qing Dynasty. The main "gate" to China in the Qing Dynasty was Guangzhou, and the "strangers" were foreigners. As the name suggests, "Strangers at the Gate" is related to the history of foreigners breaking into Guangzhou (the gate of China), and about the foreign invasion of China during the Opium War. However, this book is not mainly based on this study. Instead, it uses the two Opium Wars of the British invasion of China as clues to study the social dynamics of Guangzhou and Guangdong Province during this historical period, such as the attitudes of the government, gentry, regiment training, farmers, etc. Towards foreign countries; their respective activities, mutual relationships and changes, thereby revealing some trends in the beginning of modern Chinese history.

The Opium War is a topic that both China and Britain should face together, and this new book by Ms. Lan Shiling, a cutting-edge British sinologist, examines it from a broader perspective. It aims to allow us to transcend regional restrictions and seriously reflect on the evils and contradictions of this world conflict. Lan Shiling fully absorbed existing relevant research results (such as Mao Haijian's "The Collapse of the Celestial Dynasty: Re-Study of the Opium War"), and was able to find more moving historical details in original Chinese and English historical materials. Thanks to her profound literary attainments, historical figures such as Lin Zexu, Qi Shan, and Yi Lu seem to emerge before her eyes through her descriptions. In addition to detailing the war process, Lan Shiling also described the complex historical memories of the war between the Chinese and British people, especially the role it played in the construction of China's modern nation.

Every era has its own way of telling stories, and the story of the Mei family is particularly touching. Because although silk and bamboo are often melodious and sleeves are fluttering on the stage, dynasties are changing and war is turbulent off the stage. Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang was born in such an era. With his excellent opera talent and loyal patriotic sentiment, he created a generation of famous actress Mei Lanfang who has a legendary life that spans the ages.

It first outlines the living conditions and life characteristics of the people of various ethnic groups in our country and surrounding areas, and then sorts out the history of China before modern times from the aspects of products, ideas, literature, science, and art. The history described in "Modern History of China" begins with the Opium War and covers several major themes such as the Opium War, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Sino-Japanese War of 1888-1898, the Reform Movement of 1898, the Boxer Rebellion, the Revolution of 1911, and the situation since the Republic of China.

"Those books are too old, and I am too old, and are of no use to this world." "These books are all newly written by you. How can they be too old and useless?" "Do you think these books can save the Beiyang Navy? Do you think these books can save the country? Do you think these books can save China?" This book uses a deep and elegant narrative technique to portray the generation of intellectuals headed by Sun Yirang, the master of Pu Xue in the late Qing Dynasty. Situated in a "big change that has not happened in three thousand years", they encountered unprecedented complex situations and differentiated outcomes, and the ambivalence and spiritual crisis when they chose to rely on or break away from traditional modes of thinking and behavior. It also describes their different ways of spiritual breakthrough: some are clinging to the old and falling into depression, some are lingering and losing ground, and some are struggling to find ways to make a new start. This is the meaning of the book's title "Cicada Slough". The whole book is like a long ink epic scroll that unfolds gradually, showing an era of wind and rain, turbulence in Kyushu, and the light of day is still far away. The Opium War, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, the Gengzi Revolution, the Hundred Days Reform... Major historical events flashed through the screen one by one; Lan Guiren, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, Yu Quyuan, Sun Yirang, Weng Tonghe, Huang Shaoji, Rong Hong, Sheng Xuanhuai, Kang Youwei, Zhang Jian, politicians, Confucian scholars, old-school scholars, new-wave scribes, and revolutionaries gradually appeared in the clamor, while the inheritance line of intellectual history was the faint shadow of distant mountains in the background.

In 1975, the First Session of the Fourth National People's Congress was successfully held, setting the grand goal of realizing the four modernizations by the end of the 20th century. Deng Xiaoping served as Vice Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Vice Premier of the State Council, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission and Chief of General Staff of the People's Liberation Army. He presided over the work of the Central Committee and held meetings on industry, agriculture and enlarged meetings of the Military Commission to comprehensively rectify all aspects and achieve great results. At the end of 1975, the "Gang of Four" launched a campaign to "criticize Deng and counter the right-leaning trend of overturning convictions", and the comprehensive rectification was forced to be interrupted.

During the Anti-Japanese War, a total of 9 military airports were built in Sichuan, including 4 strategic bombing airports (Xinjin, Pengshan, Guanghan, Qionglai) and 5 expulsion airports including Mingshan and Shuangliu, collectively referred to as special projects. On June 16, 1944, the Chinese and American air forces launched a long-distance bombing of the Japanese mainland from Sichuan, which attracted world attention. CBS correspondent Stuart Stuart reported: "Such a huge airport was built by hundreds of thousands of Chinese farmers. The manpower is so huge that it has been used to build the Great Wall for two thousand years." It's rare." The people of Sichuan built more than 2,000 kilometers of Sichuan-Yunnan, Sichuan-Shaanxi and other national defense highways under the condition of shouldering the burden, and paid a huge price. For example, when building the Le (Shan) west (Chang) Highway, more than 1,400 migrant workers were sacrificed to open up the 7-kilometer section of Yanwogou.

In 1368 AD, the forty-year-old Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Yingtian Mansion after defeating various peasant uprising armies, and established the last huge empire ruled by the Han people. He also became the only true "peasant emperor" in Chinese history. As Zhao Yi of the Qing Dynasty said: "Gai Mingzu is a man who is a sage, a hero, and a thief." He is good at winning people's hearts, treats intellectuals favorably, has an excellent view of the overall situation, and has decisiveness. Zhu Yuanzhang's "sage" qualities that are different from those of the powerful in the late Yuan Dynasty helped him ascend to the high position. When Zhu Yuanzhang defeated all the heroes and ascended to the throne, he showed his green face and fangs, overthrew the eight hundred years of traditional political system with cruel and terrifying means of massacre, took autocratic politics to the extreme, deposed the prime minister, slaughtered meritorious officials arbitrarily, established a royal guard, despised civil servants, implemented a strict Lijia system to force people to migrate, interfered with people's freedom of employment, strictly restricted foreign trade, etc. What's more important is that Zhu Yuanzhang injected poison refined from the think tanks of past dynasties into the people's brains, paralyzing the nerves of the entire China into a vegetative state, fundamentally killing everyone's individuality, initiative, and creativity, and domesticating them into obedient people who specialize in providing food. Zhu Yuanzhang's success and failure are both inseparable from the cultural soil of "China". This book puts Zhu Yuanzhang into the context of Chinese culture and makes a detailed analysis, trying to present a multi-dimensional Zhu Yuanzhang to readers.

"The Historical Starting Point of National Rejuvenation: Contemporary Peking University Scholars on the May 4th Movement" content introduction: 90 years ago, the May 4th Movement was first organized and launched by young students from Peking University. It was a great patriotic revolutionary movement that was completely anti-imperialist and anti-feudal. It was also a great ideological emancipation movement and a new culture movement. This movement not only launched China's new democratic revolution and became an important turning point in China's modern history, but also promoted the combination of patriotism and Marxism of the Chinese people, forming the great May Fourth spirit with patriotism as the core with the characteristics of the new era. Under the new historical conditions, inheriting and carrying forward the spirit of May Fourth patriotism is of great significance for uniting and rallying people of all ethnic groups in the country to work together to develop socialism with Chinese characteristics and promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Peking University is the center of the New Culture Movement and the birthplace of the May Fourth Movement. The May Fourth Movement was first initiated by young students from Peking University, and many of the backbones of the movement were Peking University students. Since the May 4th Movement, the spirit of patriotism, progress, democracy, and science has been passed down from generation to generation among Peking University students. Peking University teachers and students have continued to commemorate the May 4th Movement, elaborate on the May 4th spirit and its historical role, and have produced a large number of articles and writings. These articles and writings are not only commemorations and elaborations of the May 4th Movement, but also reflect the research and thinking of Peking University teachers and students on China's modern development process from one aspect, and have high ideological and historical value.

It will help further explain how history and the people chose Marxism, socialism and the Communist Party of China, thereby further enhancing people's theoretical identification with the Party and New China.

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.
