It is divided into four volumes: the pre-Qin edition, the Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and Sui dynasties, the Tang, Five Dynasties, Liao, Song, and Jin editions, and the Yuan, Ming, and Qing modern editions. For the first time, this book divides the changes in traditional Chinese rituals before 1949 into: the pre-ritual period, the kingdom ritual period (Haidai Dawenkou-Longshan Culture Period), the royal ritual period (from Xia, Shang and Zhou to the Warring States Period) and the centralized ritual period (it can also be called the imperial ritual period, from the unification of Qin to 1949); each period is further divided into several stages, and the basic context and major changes in rituals in each ritual development period are systematically summarized and investigated. On the premise of discussing the basic clues and situations of the changes in etiquette in various periods, this book selects some connected etiquette forms with important research value for in-depth study to reveal certain laws and characteristics of the changes in traditional Chinese etiquette.

From tuberculosis, which has plagued mankind since the Neolithic Age, to the Black Death, which was comparable to nuclear war in the past, from COVID-19, which is constantly "escalating and mutating", to monkeypox, a "close relative" of smallpox... Whether you admit it or not, the epidemic of infectious diseases has become a part of human history. The author of this book reviews major infectious disease outbreaks in human history such as plague, tuberculosis, Ebola, AIDS, and SARS, introduces their origin, development, demise, and historical impact on mankind, and demonstrates the transformation of mankind from ignorance in history to scientific epidemic prevention in modern times. Humans once thought that infectious diseases could be eliminated by relying on vaccination and the use of antibiotics, but new epidemics have repeatedly proved to humans that infectious diseases will always coexist with humans.

The Floating Coast is the first comprehensive history of the Bering Strait, the Arctic land and sea from Russia to Canada. Since the 19th century, mankind has embarked on a very modern ideological experiment in the extreme north of Beringia. By telling the history of Beringia's animal and mineral resources, the author reveals how humans have transformed the ecological wealth of this remote area into economic growth and national strength for more than 150 years. As a groundbreaking work about the relationship between human development and Arctic ecology, "The Floating Coast" breaks away from familiar environmental history narratives and re-examines the neglected landscape of Beringia from a fresh perspective. In this book, Demuth tells us a profound and fascinating story based on his own experience of living with local people, as well as interviews with local people and related archives, revealing the dynamic changes and unforeseen consequences that humankind's huge needs and ambitions have brought and will continue to bring to this resource-limited planet. Like many environmental historians, Demuth no longer agrees with the view put forward by the British historian Collingwood in the 1930s that nature and humans must have different histories in the face of humanity's impact on the earth system. In Demuth's writings, nature and human history are intertwined. Human beings and their concepts interact with non-human parts such as regions, animals, plants, and mineral resources.

Rivers have had an impact on the course of civilization beyond our imagination. Rivers are the arteries of ancient civilizations, and almost all of mankind's splendid civilizational heritage is inseparable from the nourishment of rivers. On the one hand, rivers provided water resources and means of transportation, making reproduction and communication possible for early humans. After the development of civilization, they promoted agriculture, industry, and trade, provided new energy, and provided impetus for social prosperity. On the other hand, as a natural resource and barrier, rivers can not only serve as national boundaries, but can even give rise to national cultural identities. River management is also widely involved in social political and economic issues, and has had a profound impact on population migration, lifestyle, social structure, etc. Today, with climate change and urban development, our relationship with nature is changing, and there are undercurrents of opportunities and crises in the rivers on which human beings depend. Lawrence C. Smith is a scientist who has long been concerned about human hydrological environment and has a deep understanding of the eternal but underappreciated relationship between rivers and human society. In this book, he explores the familiar and unfamiliar waters with his broad strokes, traces the development of human history and social changes, and tells the intricate relationship between rivers as a natural force and human society.

Traditional China is a "rural society". In such a civilizational structure, traditional villages dotted across the land of China have been the basic production units and social organizations of the Chinese people for a long time. They are the basic structure that nurtures Chinese culture. They are also a long-lasting and culturally representative space-time location in China's vast territory and long historical evolution. Cultivating the organizational structure, traditional wisdom, and cultural concepts derived from traditional villages is an important component of Chinese civilization. It still profoundly affects the social life and national temperament of modern Chinese people, and constitutes the internal characteristics and external form of an extremely strong and rich and diverse national culture. In modern China, where urbanization is advancing at a rapid pace, traditional villages are facing an existential crisis of rapidly disappearing.

This book is compressed on the basis of the first and second volumes of the author's "History of Political-Religious Relations in Ancient China". A concise and concise systematic introduction to the relationship between politics and religion in China from ancient times to modern times. The first chapter, the introduction, points out the interaction mechanism between religion and politics based on a comprehensive study of the world's political-religious relations, and explains the differences between China's political-religious relations and the West. The next eight chapters introduce the relationship between politics and religion in China's past dynasties one by one, not only explaining the interactive influence of religion and politics, but also systematically introducing the pros and cons of religious management policies of past dynasties. The last chapter systematically studies the historical characteristics of China's political-religious relations and the lessons learned from religious management. "State-religious relations" is a concept imported from modern times, which is very different from China's historical process.

This book divides the 70-year historical process of contemporary Chinese novels into the first stage from 1949 to 1976, the second stage from 1977 to 1991, and the third stage from 1992 to 2019. The traditional history of novel criticism usually adopts the "historical theory" historical view and analysis model. This model is certainly historical and persuasive, but it can also easily suppress the uniqueness of the history of novel criticism, and it is especially easy to ignore the subjectivity of criticism and the extremely vivid and rich details. The characteristic of this book is that it wants to highlight the history of contemporary novel criticism from the comprehensive "big history" and put all the weight of theoretical thinking and narrative on it. Through the narration and analysis of the activities and practices of different "novel criticism circles" in each period, the "criticism circle"'s overall thinking on the "history of novels" is demonstrated. This book intends to use the process of the "novel criticism circle"'s penetration and intervention into the history of contemporary novels as an overall clue to connect the relationship between criticism and novels. It also views this connection as how critics who fully demonstrate their critical subjectivity fine-tune their relationship with big history in a "literary way" and reconstruct "the history of contemporary novels" as we know it today through critical concepts and practices.

Different from previous histories of literary criticism, the author of this book has a broad international vision, trying to place China's foreign literary criticism in the context of world literature and its theoretical criticism, and consciously compare China's foreign literary criticism with international literary theory criticism, thereby highlighting the characteristics and internationality of China's foreign literary criticism. In addition, this book is problem-oriented and uses historical theory to systematically explore China's foreign literary criticism in the context of world literature and literary theory.

This book discusses the development of the official history-writing system during the Han, Wei, Southern and Northern Dynasties. The official history compilation system refers to a set of data collection, sorting, and compilation mechanisms guaranteed by the system and the establishment of relevant officials. It is the connection between government affairs operations and compilation operations. This book looks at this issue from two perspectives. The first is how to organize historical sources. The system of official history compilation corresponds specific government operations with certain parts of biographical history to ensure the availability of materials for historical books. The book discusses three cases: biographies of the four barbarian states and the tribute paid by Fanyi, biographies of filial piety and filial piety, and awards of loyalty and martyrs, and general biographies of clan kings and officials and posthumous titles and funerals. The second is how to process and compile. Although the official history compilation system has the ultimate goal of compiling chronicles and biographies, its continued operation requires the cooperation of multiple genres.

This book mainly studies the emergence of the financial function of Taipu Temple in the middle and late Ming Dynasty and its impact on national finance. Taipu Temple has always been the central administrative agency that manages the country's horse administration. However, starting from the middle and late Ming Dynasty, under the background of the change of taxes and levies into silver, the horse administration's taxes and levies also started the process of converting them into silver. The horse households, horse pastures and horses in the northern and southern Zhili and some horse-raising prefectures and counties in Henan and Shandong under the jurisdiction of Taipus Temple in the two capitals were increasingly converted into silver income of Taipus Temple. As a result, Taipus Temple gradually became a money and grain yamen, and a Changying Treasury was built to specifically manage the storage and receipts of silver. Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, with the deterioration of the royal family's finances and the national finances, the large amount of silver surplus in the Changying Treasury was regarded by the court as a life-saving straw to alleviate various financial crises. As a result, Taipu Temple was increasingly involved in the national finances and became a part of the central financial management system. It exerted a huge financial function and had an important impact on the financial management and alleviation of financial crises in the late Ming Dynasty. This book uses a large number of first-hand historical materials, collects thousands of data, and uses mathematical statistics and other methods to conduct rigorous analysis and demonstration of the views in the book. The conclusions are clear and reliable. It is the first monograph to date to systematically study the Ming Dynasty's horse politics from a financial perspective.

Sericulture is an important skill created by the working people in ancient China. Silk fiber is China's most distinctive textile raw material. The names of fabrics such as silk, satin, brocade, and silk are distinguished by their silk weave structure. Ancient Chinese astronomical instruments can be divided into four categories: measuring instruments, such as equatorial mounts, armillary spheres, simplified spheres, etc.; Timing instruments, such as chronometers, sundials, cleats, etc.; Demonstration instruments, such as armillary spheres, sky-covering spheres, etc.; Comprehensive astronomical instruments, such as armillary spheres, water-operated telescopes, etc. Alchemy first originated in China, sprouted in the Warring States Period, and occurred in the Qin and Han Dynasties. It later developed increasingly with the support of Taoism and the tolerance of the imperial court, and reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty.

Astronomy is the earliest science in human history. Ancient Chinese astronomy is often called Tianxue. There are three main theories about "Heaven": Gaitian theory, Huntian theory and Xuanye theory. The main purpose of astronomy is to "observe and tell time", that is, to determine the seasons through astronomical observations and guide people in production and ritual activities. Therefore, China has retained the longest and most detailed astronomical records in the world. The "round sky and square place" view of the earth and the "Great Kyushu" world view are two ways of understanding world geography in ancient China. From the "round sky and square place" view of the earth, an extremely important concept of "earth" is derived. It had a significant impact on the location of the ancient capital, the formation of certain mentality of the Chinese people, and even the name of the country.

Chinese medicine first emerged from witch doctors. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, witch doctors and doctors were separated, and a systematic medical knowledge system was gradually formed. Medical classics represented by the Huangdi Neijing and Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases were produced. The development of medicine is inseparable from drugs. "The Study of Materia Medica" is the traditional Chinese pharmacology, among which the "Compendium of Materia Medica" written by Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty is the most well-known to the public. In addition to being used in astronomy and calendars, ancient Chinese arithmetic is also related to practical matters such as land measurement, map surveying, tax calculation, and water conservancy project construction. The "Ten Books on Arithmetic" represented by "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic" are the great crystallization of ancient Chinese mathematical thought from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. During the Song, Jin and Yuan dynasties, outstanding mathematicians such as Qin Jiushao, Li Ye, Yang Hui and Zhu Shijie pushed traditional Chinese arithmetic theory to a climax.
