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. Over the past two hundred years, how the hegemonic Wei lost power, how the powerful Qi destroyed itself, how the powerful Chu was manipulated, how the originally backward Qin State became strong and powerful, how the struggle for hegemony between the seven heroes evolved into the Qin State unifying the six countries... Everything is in "The History of the Warring States Period that You Can Understand at a Glance".

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.

This book is a book about human history. It introduces in depth some unsolved cases in world history, attracts readers to pay attention to world history, and guides people to review world history, reflect on the present, and learn to use the historical reference system to correct today's actions and practices. This book is easy to understand. For those who love history but have no time to read large historical works in their busy work, "One Book to Comprehend Five Thousand Years of History of the World" should be a good choice for understanding history.

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.

The general trend of the world is that if it has been together for a long time, it must be divided, and if it has been divided for a long time, it must be reunited. This book takes military and political events as the main axis, minus the complicated branches, and concisely outlines the rise and fall of a huge empire in Chinese history. The Yuan Dynasty was the first regime in Chinese history to be established nationwide and dominated by ethnic minority rulers. With their powerful force, the Mongols not only conquered the Central Plains and the areas south of the Yangtze River, but also expanded their control to the entire West Asia region, becoming the largest dynasty in Chinese history.

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.

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.

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.

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.
