"There is no army without Sichuan." During the Anti-Japanese War, the Sichuan Army ranked first in the country in terms of the number of people participating in the war and the tragic sacrifices. The casualties accounted for one-fifth of the total number of anti-Japanese troops in the country! In the eight years after the July 7th Incident, more than 3 million Sichuan Army soldiers stepped onto the front line of the Anti-Japanese War to save the nation from danger. Led by generals such as Liu Xiang, Deng Xihou, Li Jiayu, Yang Sen, Wang Lingji, Tang Shizun, and Wang Zuanxu, they fought bravely with crude equipment and meager supplies, and shed blood for the country. They participated in almost all major battles on the frontal anti-Japanese battlefields such as the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, the Nanjing Defense War, the Niangziguan Battle, the Teng County Defense Battle, the Wuhan Battle, the Changsha Battle, the Zaoyi Battle, the Shanggao Battle, the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Battle, the Changde Battle, and the Hengyang Defense Battle. They truly interpreted "every inch of river and mountain, every inch of blood" to the extreme.

Every sentence is the firm will to fight the war, and every word is the determination to sacrifice one's life for the country.

Pao Ge was a secret social organization active in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River before 1949. Its influence was comparable to that of the Qinggang and Hongmen. At its peak, about 70% of adult men in Sichuan Province joined, and its influence reached every corner. It had a huge influence on the Sichuan Army and the Hunan Army, and was also an important force in the revolution of the late Qing Dynasty. Starting from a murder case in 1939 and a report that has been dusty for more than 70 years, this book combines rich graphic materials to examine the power operation of the Paoge organization and grassroots society in the Republic of China in detail. It examines the ups and downs of the personal fate of Paoge members and their families in the turbulent era, reveals the "daily" face of the mysterious Paoge world, and presents a full, three-dimensional and vivid social picture of western Sichuan during the Republic of China.

This book begins with a review of the historical background of the Central Plains dynasties that gradually moved toward unification before the Silk Road was developed, and gradually reveals the inevitable era of the Silk Road's development. It leads readers to gradually enter the Western Regions and appreciate the culture of the Western Regions for thousands of years. It also explains the East-West exchanges represented by the silk trade and its important impact on the trade and civilized transportation of the four great empires of the East and West at that time, as well as the development of civilization in Central Asia, West Asia, Europe, and even the world. The book uses history as evidence and quotes from other sources to reveal the cohesion and centripetal force of the Chinese nation brought about by the strong comprehensive national power of the Han Dynasty from the accidental and inevitable development of the Silk Road.

Professor Wei Feide's historical masterpiece "Hong Ye: The Founding of the Qing Dynasty" tells the story of a very dramatic historical stage in the history of Chinese dynasties - the end of the Ming Dynasty in 1644 and the consolidation of the Qing Dynasty in the following 20 years. From the grand background of politics, economy, culture, society, nation, and national defense, the author provides an overall dissection and perspective on the process of how one empire fell into trouble and how another empire reestablished order and became strong. In this book, Wei Feide hopes to present the "Hongye" through the reconstruction of the Chinese imperial order in the early Qing Dynasty to reveal a series of important changes that had occurred in Chinese society before the arrival of Western forces in the Opium War in 1840.

Throughout my country's long history, border and ethnic issues have always been major issues affecting national security and border stability.

The Commercial Press is a century-old tree and a heavy book. Whether from the perspective of modern cultural history or modern publishing history, the Commercial Press is an object worthy of careful study. In recent years, the industry has begun to re-examine the Commercial Press, which is what it should be. In 1999, Comrade Shi Chunfeng was admitted to the History Department of Beijing Normal University and studied for a doctorate with me. He is eager to learn and his writing skills are also very good. She discussed with me the topic of her dissertation, and finally decided on "The Commercial Press and Modern Chinese Culture." Although academic research on the Commercial Press has produced some results, Comrade Shi Chunfeng's paper takes a different approach and still has its own unique perspective. She placed the Commercial Press in the historical process of the collision and blending of Chinese and Western cultures in modern times, conducted a long-term and systematic investigation, and focused on its rise and development, especially its relationship with modern political trends, modern Chinese and Western cultures, modern education, and modern cultural celebrities. She provided many independent insights and helped people understand the Commercial Press and even modern cultural history. The author pays attention to collecting information extensively, and takes advantage of the favorable conditions in Beijing to visit old people in the Commercial Press, so that his thesis has a solid historical data foundation. This book is the result of further enriching her doctoral thesis while teaching. There is no end to academic research. Comrade Shi Chunfeng has taken a gratifying step and I believe she will continue to achieve new results. This book is a publication funded by the Beijing Social Science Fund. The author traces and verifies the history of the Commercial Press and clarifies many historical issues. In particular, he makes a convincing discussion of the relationship between the publishing industry of the Commercial Press and the development of modern Chinese culture.

"The Bells of the Late Tang Dynasty: Archetypal Criticism of Chinese Literature (Revised Edition)" is an academic monograph that uses the method of archetypal criticism to explain the symbolic meaning of Chinese culture and literature. Archetype is a condensed and accumulated human history and cultural history, and archetype criticism is a kind of "spiritual archeology". Although history has disappeared without a trace, symbols, the special symbols used by humans to understand and feel the world, store the thrilling history of mankind in the most concise form. Archetypal criticism is therefore called literary criticism with truly international significance. Starting from archetypal criticism, the author believes that Chinese literature contains rich and vivid primitive images. "Xiang" in "Yi". "Xing" in "Poetry" is an ancient interpretation of archetypes in Chinese philosophy and art. The archetypal system represented by Xing Xiang is ubiquitous in classical culture.

This book mainly focuses on the opening and smoothing of the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty. After the management of the Silk Road by successive dynasties such as the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Silk Road showed its glory for thousands of years, and China's prestige also increased. The second half of the book introduces the advancement of shipbuilding and navigation technology in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. The Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties neglected the management of the Silk Road. The status of the land Silk Road declined while the status of the Maritime Silk Road rose. It then introduces the vicissitudes of the Ming and Qing dynasties as national power gradually declined and the influence of the Silk Road gradually faded.

The Maritime Silk Road was a maritime channel for economic and cultural exchanges between ancient China and other parts of the world. As a human historical activity lasting more than 2,000 years and covering most of the earth and an important carrier of cultural and economic exchanges between the East and the West, the Maritime Silk Road has multiple starting points and routes, and has status and roles in different historical eras. It is an extremely precious historical heritage. This international trade network, which consisted of a series of ports between the East and West at that time, stretched from Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Ningbo, Fuzhou, Yangzhou, Zhangzhou, Penglai to Vietnam, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Singapore... And stretched all the way. It has left a beautiful and unique memory in the long river of history through the ages, which can never be replaced and can never be erased. Every city, every port, and every ruin has its own stories and legends. These are worthy of being remembered for eternity. These are worthy of you and me using our own meager strength to pass them on from generation to generation.

History is like a stage that is sometimes bright and gorgeous, sometimes dim and withered. On this stage, emperors, generals, officials, concubines, heroes, etc. Appear one by one, from the ancient legend of Pangu's creation to the end of the Qing Dynasty. The emperor abdicates, and various characters are either twisted, ferocious, dark and corrupt, or proud and heroic... The scenes of the play are filled with sorrow and joy, and provide the world with material to reflect on the past and look forward to the future all the time. If you are trapped by reality in life, you may wish to read this little book carefully, and you will soon find the answer.

It is said that history is heavy, and we can fully feel it from these words that determined the fate of the country and people's livelihood in the Jin Dynasty. One word can make a country prosper, one word can destroy it. How to treat advice and how to listen to advice so that it is effective has become a test question for the rulers of all dynasties. The ancients said: "Only wood can be upright by following ropes, and saints can be achieved by admonishing." "The virtue of Taizong lies in being able to bend oneself and obey admonitions." In my opinion, admonishment is a kind of wealth, and criticism is a kind of promotion. Admonition connects the people and the true people's conditions and national conditions, which is also necessary for the country to move toward political prosperity and social progress.

This book uses "Yan Xing Lu", the diary of a North Korean envoy who went to pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty, as the basic historical research material. It also refers to other documents and uses the experiences of the North Korean envoys to conduct a detailed study of the urban appearance, social life, religious beliefs and Manchu folk customs of the Shengjing area in the Qing Dynasty. Observe Shengjing society from a foreign perspective and examine "self" through the "other" in order to achieve the purpose of learning from the mirror.

About the Book Northeast has played a special and important role in the evolution of Chinese history after the end of the Anti-Japanese War. The struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party for the Northeast was not only related to both sides' control of the Northeast, but also affected the overall strategic deployment of both sides. The Northeast once became the focus of the evolution of China's political and military situation, and thus affected China's political trend and outcome after the war. This book takes the international Cold War, Sino-Soviet relations, and Sino-US relations as the background, and uses the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party's struggle for the Northeast as the basis for research. It observes and discusses the origin, formulation, implementation, impact, and pros and cons of the postwar Kuomintang's Northeast decision-making, and uses this to analyze why the Kuomintang eventually lost the Northeast and thus lost its power to govern in mainland China.

"Three Kingdoms" is the pinnacle work of Eiji Yoshikawa, and it is also the ultimate work of the blend of Chinese culture and Japanese temperament.

Gangs in the Qing Dynasty originated from "brothers of different surnames" organizations, and later developed into "hui party", which "formed alliances and established parties". After the Tiandihui emerged during the Qianlong period, a large number of Huihui parties with various names emerged. During the reign of Xian Tongzhi, Sichuan Tunlu developed brother into Laohui, also known as Pao brother or Honggang. After water transportation was diverted to the sea route, the Grain Ships and Sailors Gang merged with smuggling gangs such as Qingpi, Guangdan, and Fengke to form the Qinggang. As a result, the party expanded into a gang. The existence and development of gangs posed a major threat to the Qing regime. In addition to using force to attack them, the Qing authorities also formulated laws and regulations to punish gangs, and continuously added, deleted, and revised them. This curbed the development of gangs to a certain extent, maintained the stability of the Qing Dynasty's regime and ideological security, and provided useful reference for how to govern society today.

What does a capital city mean in medieval China? How is it intrinsically related to the emperor and imperial power? In traditional political culture and even the cosmic order, how do these two construct inherent necessity? A destiny-destined regime requires a destined capital, whose establishment must be both rooted in tradition and tailor-made for the dynasty's destiny. In short, the location, planning and specific organizational structure of the capital, in addition to combining the actual political needs of the dynasty, also reflected its sanctity and legitimacy through layout and symbols, which were the embodiment of the political culture of the dynasty. Therefore, the rulers of the empire and the planners and implementers of the capital, by "looking up at the astronomy and looking down at the geography", cleverly used prophecies, myths, and even astronomical elements to simultaneously construct the central position of the imperial capital in the world's political order and cosmic system, and eventually became the "residence of the emperor." All of this was accumulated when the medieval imperial capitals were first built, and became the genes for their capital status.

"On-the-ground history", on-the-spot exploration of China and powerful countries before and after a hundred years, and unfolding history on the spot! Regarding "World War Zero", it is also based on a war record that has not been broken so far, that is, there are no victors and defeated countries in the legal sense between the warring parties! The Russo-Japanese War more than 100 years ago incubated the emergence of various ideologies and political factions in the late Qing Dynasty, accelerated the disintegration of the empire, and greatly changed the political ecology of China and even East Asia, and its influence continues to this day. Looking back at this period of history, Russia may have forgotten it, while Japan may have beautified it. This is a new work written by the Chinese themselves that strives to restore the political ecology of the year and the world's geopolitical pattern.

The thirteen articles collected in this book discuss the history of the Qin and Han Dynasties, which can be roughly divided into two categories: the first discusses the life, character, governance, policies and influence of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty on the politics of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The economy of ancient nomadic peoples could not be self-sufficient, so they had to rely on neighboring farming peoples. The main methods were to invade and plunder their food products, or the monarchs of farming peoples to give rewards to nomadic peoples. The cost of conquering the nomads was too high, so the Han Dynasty "moved the troops into the fortress" and placed the surrendered nomads in the border counties. This cost the least to relieve the famine, and they could also be used as soldiers to "use the barbarians to control the barbarians" to resist the nomads outside the fortress. Emperor Guangwu "moved his army into the fortress" and established his capital in Luoyang, no longer managing the Western Regions. As a result, after the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the number of Han residents in the western and northern counties was too low, and the Han population was divided evenly between Chinese and Yi, which started the situation of the Five Indiscriminate Chaos in the future. The second is to use the new information of "Zhangjiashan Han Bamboo Slips" to discuss the history and official system of Qin and Han Dynasties.

Epigraphs are an important literary style in ancient my country. They originated in the pre-Qin Dynasty, rose in the Han Dynasty, and have evolved since then. The creation of epitaphs was particularly prosperous in the Tang Dynasty. Among them, there were numerous famous inscriptions writers and their works were of high quality and quantity. They became an important part of the precious cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. This book takes the epitaphs of the Tang Dynasty as its title, combines the specific historical and cultural background and the creative psychology of literati, and conducts a systematic comparative study of the epitaphs of the Tang Dynasty based on the basic reading of books such as "The Complete Tang Dynasty" and related literature, with special emphasis on newly unearthed epitaphic materials and research. By applying the research results, we make a comprehensive analysis and summary of its artistic achievements by studying its stylistic form, characteristics of the times and ideological content. From the perspective of inheritance and innovation, we study and restore the basic context of its occurrence, and analyze the internal laws of its development and evolution and its creative direction.

This book is a systematic study of Yu Xin's family background, career, and thoughts, and provides a new interpretation of his works. This book has three major contributions to the study of Yu Xin: First, through careful and incisive textual research, it corrects some errors in the chronology of Yu Xin written by Ni Fan. Second, through internal evidence and interpretation of allusions, it is determined that works such as "Ai Jiangnan Ode" and "Dead Tree Ode" were written in the early years of Yu Xin's arrival in the north, rather than in his later years. Third, a new interpretation of the ideological themes of works such as "Ai Jiangnan Ode" and "Xiaoyuan Ode" is held. It is believed that these works do not express thoughts about hometown, but are works to seek officialdom and express complaints.

The object of study in this book - the Minister of War of the Sui Dynasty in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, is an important official system under the three provinces and six ministries system. As one of the six departments of the Ministry of War, the Book of War has existed in history for more than 1,500 years. The content studied in this book is the history of the formation, establishment and finalization of the Book of War. The first appearance of the Book of the Ministry of War (the Book of Five Soldiers) was in the Cao Wei Dynasty, but it is difficult to find relevant records in existing historical materials, so the study of this book began in the Western Jin Dynasty. During the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, although the names "Minister of the Ministry of War" and "Minister of the Ministry of War" could also be seen in some political regimes, they mainly existed under the names of "Minister of the Five Arms" and "Minister of the Seven Arms". After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, it inherited the "Ministry of War" related systems of the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou Dynasties, established a complete system of ministers of the Ministry of War, and was inherited by the Tang Dynasty. The comprehensive adjustment of the six departments and twenty-four departments of the Ministry of War in the Sui Dynasty established a more mature and complete system of the Ministry of War. Some of the four departments of the Ministry of War inherited from the Five or Seven Ministers of the Army in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and some inherited from other departments. As the highest military administrative agency in ancient China (after the Wei and Jin Dynasties), the Minister of War was responsible for important responsibilities such as military attache election and military service recruitment, weapons manufacturing management, and land and resources control. It was a pivotal department in the bureaucracy.
