It shows the rich and colorful ideological culture at that time, which helps to enhance our understanding of the society and women of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. "When a person is about to die, his words are also good." In most cases, last words are an expression of the true meaning and true emotions of relatives and friends.

The last words reflect the deceased's life summary, social understanding, life perception, attitude towards life, and ideological wisdom. Therefore, we can interpret the ideological history of the deceased's view of death through the last words. The social status of women in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was relatively high in ancient Chinese society.

China's modern history is a history of suffering, but also a history of continuous exploration by the Chinese people. "Pursuing innovation and change" runs through the entire time and space, and many ideas, many plans, and many life choices have emerged. In the historical general education we have experienced, those who have been given thick and colorful descriptions are front-line historical figures. In fact, there are many important figures who have played an important role in the process of historical development. More importantly, they have the choices of ordinary people and the worries of ordinary people. Their academic progress, love for their children, and life choices can often bring us more practical inspiration. Xu Tao, a famous political teacher for the postgraduate entrance examination, selected nine representative figures in modern history. They were once drops of water entering the sea in the new wave of history. They were also simplified into fragmentary knowledge points in textbooks. In "The Face of History", the faces of these figures gradually become clear. The learning and working environment of modern society requires us to have strong decision-making capabilities and the ability to handle complex affairs. There is no "principle of life" that can bring people more thought and inspiration than a vivid life experience. Let's ponder the underlying logic behind the success or failure of the characters, experience different lives in history, and feel the warmth outside the test site.

"You must be elegant" In the past, if you listened to the teacher's story, you must be careful not to get up too early. In the past, storytellers did not go there early in the morning, unless it was for the "underground business" of Tianqiao. Usually it is in the afternoon or evening, and the afternoon performance is the official performance. Of course, there are also those who are earlier than this, called "shuo bench leader", or "zao'er" in jargon. There is also a performance at night, that one is called "Leng Wan'er". As the name suggests, in the past when electric lights were not widely available, oil lamp bowls were lit when it was too late. In the past, there were even audiences sitting on the stage listening! For example, sometimes when a distinguished audience comes, it's not appropriate to sit in the audience, so just sit on the stage! Stay three or five steps away from the actors, move a chair and watch from there. Therefore, at that time, in addition to the actors in costumes, there were twenty or thirty audience members in casual clothes on the stage. It was normal! "I am a Literary Man" I studied crosstalk and storytelling in elementary school, and later started singing. Along the way, many audience members mentioned in chats that they thought actors were very knowledgeable, especially storytellers. The three empresses and five emperors, who talked about the past and the present, knew everything. --Hi, actually you don't understand the characteristics of our work. Don't think that we have been talking about family planning since the beginning of the world. I have been stunned for a while. We are all "the science of remembering questions", which has been passed down orally from generation to generation. A friend asked, among those characters in storytelling, was there really such a person in history? Hey, don't take this stuff seriously. For every storyteller, the Sui and Tang Dynasties he talks about are his exclusive Sui and Tang Dynasties. Some storytellers say "Luo Shixin" and "Luo Cheng" are the same person, and say that he is a pretty boy; others say that Luo Shixin is just a fool. "Literature and History Expert" We have been talking about the right and wrong, the truth and the false in ancient times. I wonder if you have noticed that the historians in history worked hard, wrote hard, did not eat or sleep, and stayed up all night to write down the historical albums. For example, Yang Jiajiang, Lanling King, Obai, Yelu Hongji, many famous heroes and generals in history have been overthrown! The historian's pen cannot compare to the storyteller's mouth!

How did Nietzsche's declaration of "the death of God" give birth to a postmodern, fragmented society? An intellectual book that breaks down professional barriers, a feast of ideas that refuses to be simplified. From the collapse of classical antiquity to the 21st century, the exploration journey of human intellectual adventurers over the past 130 years. Is it a spiritual regression, or a return to fanaticism? Where will mankind go when it stands at a historical divergence point? This is a captivating story of human exploration and creation, failure and success in an isolated world. As one of the most outstanding intellectual historians of our time, Peter Watson takes the ideological shock caused by Nietzsche at the turn of the century as the starting point and examines how this shock invaded all aspects of spiritual life, ranging from Dostoevsky, Jung, Husserl, and Ibsen to Picasso and Bob Dylan, from psychology, phenomenology, and theosophy. To Impressionism, Pop Art, Jazz, from Auschwitz, Hiroshima, the Great Purge to Woodstock, and "9·11". Connecting the dots, he uses elegant and precise strokes to unearth the orderly context behind seemingly unrelated phenomena, and draws an ideological map from the era of classical collapse to the bizarre postmodern era.

He studies the experiences of people including Sylvia Plath, Queen Victoria, and Virginia Woolf, and explores the loneliness experience of different groups of people, including teenagers, people living alone, the elderly, and the homeless...

We have been chatting about the right and wrong, the truth and the false in ancient times. I wonder if you have noticed that the historians in history worked hard, wrote hard, did not eat or sleep, and stayed up all night to write down the history albums. For example, Yang Jiajiang, Lanling King, Obai, Yelu Hongji, many famous heroes and generals in history have been overthrown! The historian's pen cannot compare to the storyteller's mouth!

Some storytellers say "Luo Shixin" and "Luo Cheng" are the same person, and say that he is a pretty boy; others say that Luo Shixin is just a fool. Unless you mix history and storytelling, would you still go to work or not? Do you want to do something else?

Based on the social historical facts of the early Republic of China, "Talking About All Evils" reveals all kinds of ugly behaviors of people of all kinds, from government offices to brothels and casinos, who are only interested in profit, engage in corruption for personal gain, and engage in evil deeds.

This book is a collection of historical and cultural short essays by Mr. Liu Shahe. It starts with clues from texts and ancient books.

Different from Gao Yang's historical novels, this set of books tells history in the form of prose, with extensive quotations and detailed analysis of the hidden history that has been covered up by official history. It also allows readers to learn about legendary figures and stories that they have not paid attention to when reading history.

The Yuan Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty that lasted less than a hundred years, but because its founders were ethnic minorities from the Mongolian grasslands, this dynasty had systems, policies, and economic structures that were different from other dynasties. These differences also profoundly affected later dynasties. The author hopes to use the perspectives of modern economics and psychology to interpret a different Yuan Dynasty and the imprint of this dynasty's system on our modern Chinese cultural genes.

The late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of my country were a period of transformation in all aspects of our country's society, and correspondingly comprehensive adjustments were made to language and writing policies. The formulation and promulgation of the "Mandarin Language Unification Act", the convening of the Pronunciation Unification Conference, the conversion from classical Chinese to vernacular, the conversion from Chinese to Mandarin, the conversion of old Chinese pronunciation to new Chinese pronunciation, the formulation and promotion of phonetic symbols, the determination of the four tones of Chinese, the formulation and promotion of Mandarin Roman characters, the formulation and promotion of new Latin characters, the formulation and promotion of Mandarin standards , the design and use of new punctuation marks, the change of traditional characters to simplified characters, the change of typesetting form from vertical to horizontal, and the formulation and promotion of Chinese pinyin programs have all been fully developed. These tasks were mainly completed by linguists from Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, Shanghai, Nantong and other places and a small number of linguists from Zhejiang. This book introduces the academic achievements and other situations of 21 modern linguists in southern Jiangsu who had a great or small influence on the national language policy at that time.

This book analyzes the basic overview of the judiciary in the Ming and Qing Dynasties by detailing the legal career of Wang Huizu, a famous criminal friend in the Qing Dynasty. In addition to understanding the ancient judicial situation and the management of judicial practitioners, I hope to give some thinking and inspiration to today's legal practitioners. As a "lawyer", the impression he gives us is by no means a legal practitioner who can only tease out rules and regulations, but a humble gentleman who is well-informed, loyal and fair, but also kind, enthusiastic and kind to others.

1894 was an important year in Chinese history and even in world history. This year, Morrison, a medical graduate from the University of Edinburgh, could not speak Chinese, had no companions or translators, and relied on forty pounds sent by his mother to travel from Shanghai to Chongqing along the Yangtze River, and then walked to Yangon, Myanmar. I kept notes along the way and wrote this book. Shortly after Morrison's trip ended, the Sino-Japanese naval battle broke out. China suffered a disastrous defeat, and the fate of the ancient empire immediately hit rock bottom. At the moment before the turbulent historical wave arrives, what do the Chinese people described by Morrison-who and their descendants are about to face countless sufferings and challenges and finally gain national independence and liberation-show like? ? Those lively scenes of crossing the Xiajiang River, the dreamlike style of the post road inn, and the echoing caravan bells filling the mountains are constantly resurrected in Morrison's words, unfolding in front of the readers an ancient picture of China in the late Qing Dynasty without decoration. Through the eyes of a Scottish gentleman from a distant land, we return to China in 1894. Reading this book is more than just nostalgia.

Each generation has its own academics and each generation has its own ideas. Through Professor Dai Yan's interviews with eleven Chinese and foreign scholars of the older generation from the Anti-Japanese War to the present, including He Zhaowu, Li Xueqin, Zhang Peiheng, Wang Shuizhao, and Qiu Xigui, we have learned about the history of that era that is about to pass, as well as the thinking and choices of scholars in that generation of history-what are their political concerns and academic ideals? How do they choose their own life path amid huge social changes? In their respective professional fields, how do they think about history and the future, and how do they connect the past and the future? Each scholar embodies the academic and ideological ethos of a generation. These scholars can be said to be the backbone of the spirit of this era and the soul of academic culture. Learning from the past and knowing the future, today's scholars only have a full understanding of the academics and thoughts of the previous generation of scholars, in order to build on the past and open up the future. In this sense, this book is also a history of the scholarly mind of previous scholars.
