The purpose of "History of the Southern Ming Dynasty: 1644-1662" is to answer the question "Why did the Ming Dynasty perish?" Starting from this, the author Situ Lin discusses the root causes of the defeat reflected in the 18-year historical process after the fall of the hereditary monarchy in the Ming Dynasty. Through a large amount of historical data, the book mainly attributes the reason for the decline of the Ming Dynasty from strength to weakness as "the inability to achieve unity and coordination between civil and military affairs" and "the ministers were in a dilemma on how to serve as the emperor's assistants." The author also notes that the above two points were not the only two reasons that led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Modern economic changes were also one of the reasons. However, the failure to resist external forces caused by internal conflicts in the court was still the main reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty. The root of this internal conflict was laid by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang when he designed the bureaucracy from the beginning. As time goes by, partisan disputes within the civil service, the combat effectiveness of foreign military attachés become mediocre, internal and external troubles, and the building will collapse.

Lu Simian (1884-1957), whose courtesy name was Chengzhi, was born in a scholarly family in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. He was educated by his parents and teachers when he was young, and entered the county school at the age of 15. In his early years, he taught at Changzhou Xishan Primary School and Changzhou Fuzhong School. Among his students were Qian Mu and Zhao Yuanren who later became great writers and historians. After 1926, he taught at Guanghua University for a long time, and after liberation, he served as a professor at East China Normal University. He read widely, focused on comprehensive research, and paid attention to integration. He wrote two general histories of China, four chronological histories, and five specialized histories in his lifetime. In addition, he has a large number of historical notes that are well-known in the field of history, totaling more than 10 million words. "History of the Country in Vernacular", "History of Pre-Qin", "History of Qin and Han", "History of Two Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties", "History of Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties" and "Notes on Reading History by Lu Simian" are Mr. Lu's most representative historical works.

There are many interesting anecdotes and lost history in the Yanxing documents of Chaoshan, many of which are rarely seen in Chinese historical materials. The author was greatly shocked when reading these historical materials, because in the Yanxing documents, for them, "China" was not only a celestial country that was once the source of civilization, but also a place that had become "Huayi metamorphosis" and was full of "smells and odors". In a complicated state of mind, they watched China at close range and recorded various phenomena that they found unusual. Driven by the emotion of imagining the tragedy of a foreign land, Li Daitao stiffly summoned the souls of the Ming Dynasty and searched for all the strange current situations of the Qing Empire. This seems to allow us to re-examine East Asia and China in modern times, re-examine the cultural history of East Asia and China, and rethink issues such as Asia and China, nation and identity, ethnic group and territory, etc.

This book is divided into four parts: current affairs, martial arts, literature, and markets. It involves the politics, people's livelihood, and culture of the Republic of China, and covers all aspects of life in the Republic of China: both the snow in the spring and the people in the Lower Riba. It can be called a comprehensive map of life in the Republic of China. All aspects of life in the Republic of China were revived through Zhang Ming's spicy pen, allowing readers to return to the Republic of China with Zhang Ming's writing. The author Zhang Ming has a rich life experience. He has been to the countryside, joined a team, worked in various industries, and even worked as a veterinarian from his resume, which is very different from ordinary literati. Perhaps because of this, the author does not have the pedantic spirit of a scholar in an ivory tower. His writing style is lively, spicy, and sharp, which is a strong taste in writing and can easily attract readers' attention. This may be one of the reasons why Zhang Ming's works are so popular.

As we all know, the Ming Dynasty was filled with too much hostility. Whether it was Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Chengzu Zhu Di in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, or Ming Xi Zong Zhu Youxiao and Ming Sizong Zhu Youjian in the late Ming Dynasty, their hands were all stained with too much blood. And some other emperors, such as Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong, Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun, etc., Were almost all weak or mediocre emperors. Because of this, the Ming Dynasty has never been very good in the impression of future generations, and the impression given by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is even worse. But reading the history of Ming Dynasty carefully, I always feel that Ming Dynasty is like a real man, a knight-errant who is full of killing but rarely treacherous and sinful in martial arts novels. It's a pity that such a man and such a knight is short-tempered and at the end of his road. People can't help but have mixed feelings about it and sigh.

"Regional History Research" is an academic journal jointly founded by a group of scholars with common academic interests from nine universities including Sun Yat-sen University. Since Skenya broke the paradigm of dynastic and national historical narratives and proposed the theory of explaining China's historical structure from a regional context, the study of regional history has become one of the important research directions for scholars trying to deepen their understanding of national history and even global history. The core question is how people's interactions in history form "areas" that are meaningful from a certain perspective. This journal hopes to provide researchers with a new platform to showcase the current trends, thinking and latest achievements in regional history research.

This book uses a broad interdisciplinary approach to provide a new perspective for discussing important issues in China's modern history. In the specific research process, the methods of the history of science and technology and the history of the environment are integrated, and the perspective of historiography is integrated, in order to transcend the scope of traditional historical research. In this way, this book also attempts to provide new insights into the complex relationship between the constructive narratives necessary to establish "historical truth" and identity positioning at the "individual", "collective" or "professional" or "national" levels. Therefore, science and technology and its application and popularization are not only important objects of historical research, but discussing these issues can also help us better understand some of the functions of history and historiography in China and even around the world.

It has reference significance for the development of today's Maritime Silk Road, ocean-related social management and other issues.

The Qin Dynasty was the first unified feudal dynasty in Chinese history, laying an important foundation for the feudal society of more than two thousand years. Only 15 years had passed from the time when King Qin Yingzheng unified the six countries until Liu Bang led his army to Xianyang and Prince Qin Ying surrendered. In this way, the Great Qin Empire completed its glorious but short-lived journey. This book takes the historical development context as the line, uses relaxed and interesting words, and a serious and responsible attitude to explain the ups and downs of the development of the Qin Dynasty, including the history of the Qin Dynasty, the prologue of the empire, the sweeping of Liuhe, the unification of the world, and the collapse of the empire.

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. Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutiny made him wear a yellow robe and established the Song Dynasty. This ended the Five Dynasties. The Central Plains has been unified, but outside the Central Plains, the game of big fish eating small fish is still going on in the former Shu, Hou Shu, Wu, Southern Tang, Wuyue, Fujian, Chu, Southern Han, Nanping (Jingnan), and Northern Han. However, reunification has become a general trend. No matter whether they are conscientious or ignorant, they will never escape the fate of destroying the country.

The Qing Dynasty was the last unified feudal dynasty in ancient Chinese history. It inherited the feudal monarchy that lasted for thousands of years and initiated the democratic republic. The great changes it experienced were unmatched by other feudal dynasties. The Qing Dynasty had both the beauty of the "Kangxi and Qianlong Dynasties" and the sorrow of the "Opium War"; it had the glory of taking over Taiwan and expelling Tsarist Russia, but also the humiliation of ceding land and indemnity and breaking mountains and rivers; it experienced the peak of feudal rule and witnessed the end of the monarchy... When you open this book, vivid historical pictures emerge before your eyes, showing the ups and downs of the Qing Dynasty. The pictures and texts are rich and the language is vivid; you can read the story and learn the history at the same time.

The Wei and Jin Dynasties are my favorite period of history, because people in this era seemed to be able to "take advantage of the joy and return when the joy is exhausted". They didn't have to care too much about other people's opinions and went on a "Happy Journey" without any scruples. Jin people have even more to say. Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, Shan Tao, Xiang Xiu, Liu Ling, Wang Rong, Ruan Xian, Zu Ti, Wang Dao, Xie An, Huan Wen, Tao Yuanming... There are too many familiar names and too many familiar allusions. The famous Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove may seem bohemian in today's world, but in the Jin Dynasty, they were sages admired by everyone, which seems to explain something. From this point of view, the aesthetics of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and even the entire society, had a kind of morbidity, that is, morbid beauty, or insufficient beauty - since there is no perfection, then a little shortcomings and flaws, isn't it a kind of beauty? Why does this aesthetic appear? If you want to understand the reason, the best way is to have a comprehensive understanding of the long period of history, which is the history that our book tells. I hope readers will like this piece of history because of these people, and also like these people even more because of this history.

The Han Dynasty was the first dynasty in Chinese history to establish a complete national and social order. It was the foundation period of my country's feudal society and an important period for the formation of the Han nation in my country. From 202 BC to 220 AD, the Han Dynasty 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 political, economic, and military strength, it was also a period of great development in thought, culture, art, and science and technology. This book takes you on a journey through the history of the Han Dynasty and the origin of Chinese national culture in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

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.

During the Warring States Period, poverty led to change, and change led to success. The seven powerful states of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin launched a desperate battle of wits and courage. If you unite vertically, I will unite horizontally. Lord Xinling, Lord Mengchang, Lord Pingyuan, and Lord Chunshen were the "Four Warring States Warring States Lords"; Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Sun Bin, Zhao She, Le Yi, Tian Dan, Bai Qi, Lian Po, Li Mu, and Wang Jian were the "Ten Warring States Generals"; 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, how the struggle between the seven heroes evolved into Qin's unification of the six kingdoms... It's all in "The History of the Warring States Period that You Can Understand at a Glance".

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 Yuwen Yong, 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 diligently and diligently, and finally created the "Kaihuang Rule". However, under the instigation of Queen Dugu, Yang Jian deposed the crown prince and established Yang Guang, which made a big mistake in his life. 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 ushered in its demise.

It took nearly 300 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". "Li Xing, the successor of Wu Dynasty in the third generation of the Tang Dynasty" became a prophecy. The first female emperor in Chinese history came to rule the world and changed the Tang Dynasty to Zhou Dynasty, continuing the prosperous age. Wu Zetian returned power to Li Tang in her old age, and after the Shenlong coup, Li Longji ascended the throne. When Xuanzong came to the throne, he focused on virtuous ministers and created the "Kaiyuan prosperous age". However, in his later years, he indulged in pleasure and the "Anshi Rebellion" ruined the 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.

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 people come from? People in ancient times couldn't explain it at all, so the idea that the Creator God created humans and the world came up. 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.

When the royal family was in decline and the princes were uneasy, Xiong Tong, the king of Chu, established himself as king, quickly rose to the south and entered the stage of the Spring and Autumn Period. At the same time, the State of Qi appointed Guan Zhong to implement new policies, respect the king and reject the barbarians, making Duke Huan of Qi the number one overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period. Then, the Jin and Qin countries in the west began to wake up and use wise men to seek development. Jin Wengong and Qin Mu Gong then came to dominate. Song Xianggong of the Song Dynasty also held high the banner of benevolence and righteousness, intending to dominate. In this age of great strife, a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, and there are too many magnificent stories: Yan Zi sent Chu, the orphans of the Zhao family, Ximen Ni soldiers, Guo Di alliance, and the Sanhuan turmoil. Of course, what makes people sigh are Wu Zixu's grievances, Chu Zhaowang's sadness, Yue Wang Goujian's courage, Confucius's travels, Mencius' sighs, and Fan Li's departure.

The period from 420 AD to 589 AD was another period of great division in Chinese history after the Three Kingdoms, or it can be said to be its continuation. Although the Three Kingdoms returned to the Jin Dynasty, the unified Western Jin Dynasty only lasted for a short fifty years. Afterwards, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings forced them to move southward. The Eastern Jin Dynasty began, and then developed into the 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. Why is it called that? First, their capitals were all in Jiankang, which is today's Nanjing; second, Xu Song of the Tang Dynasty recorded these six dynasties in the book "Jiankang Shilu", and Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty also used these six dynasties as the orthodox chronicle in "Zizhi Tongjian", so later generations called these six dynasties "Six Dynasties". However, our book only introduces events in the Southern Dynasties, that is, Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen. Our book is about this turbulent but vibrant era. Why is there so much turmoil but so much vitality? We will explain it in detail in the text.

With the discovery of documents and cultural relics from Dunhuang, Turpan, and Heishui City, research on these large quantities of new materials is in the ascendant. Because the materials from Dunhuang and Heishui City were plundered by foreign expeditions when they were unearthed, precious ancient Chinese documents and cultural relics drifted to foreign lands. In order to let the Chinese people see these precious documents and materials, since the 1990s, Chinese academic circles and the publishing industry have joined hands to sort out and publish the Dunhuang Turpan documents and Xixia documents that were lost overseas.

Getting rid of the constraints of treaties is one of the main goals of China's diplomacy in modern times. The narrative model for China's freedom from treaty constraints is the "abolition of unequal treaties." Both sides of the Taiwan Strait interpret diplomatic history with the process of "abolition of treaties" as the main axis, while "amendment of treaties" has long been obscured by "abolition of treaties." After denying the process and results of treaty amendments, the "history of abolition of treaties" appears barren and monotonous. Focusing on "treaty revision", this book explores the process and significance of Beiyang's treaty revision. On the one hand, it reconstructs Beiyang's treaty revision cases based on archives and explores the development of its foreign policy and negotiation strategies. On the other hand, it combines empirical research on diplomatic history with a revolutionary historical perspective, hoping to gain a richer and more diverse understanding of the diplomatic history of the Republic of China.
