A book to understand the unfathomable imperial thoughts of the three prosperous emperors of Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong. The Qing Dynasty used minority ethnic groups to rule the huge Han population. The panic over the legitimacy of rule gave rise to the Qing emperors' ultimate desire for control. They transformed national conflicts and cultural anxiety into power for power, reaching the pinnacle and final success of China's feudal imperial power. 1. Kangxi's idea of ​​checks and balances: maintaining stability through dynamic balance. The two major groups, Mingzhu and Soetu, were allowed to criticize each other, maintaining a delicate balance between "competition" and "controllability". 2. Yongzheng's mysterious politics: using the "system black box" to resolve the crisis of legitimacy. Turn the inheritance of imperial power into the will of both parties, and turn the doubts about "incorrect access to the throne" into the capital of Qiangang's arbitrary rule. 3. Qianlong's psychological deterrence: using cultural terror to construct a master-slave relationship. With the harsh literary prison, he turned the world into frightened birds, and completely domesticated the "co-governance of monarchs and ministers" into a master-slave relationship.

This book is a collection of notes and manuscript fragments written by Burckhardt for his lectures at the University of Basel from 1865 to 1885. As an outstanding cultural and art historian in the 19th century, Burckhardt presented and described Western history from ancient times to the Revolutionary era in a highly personal style and aesthetic sense in the form of notes based on his own cultural vision and value standpoint. By deeply reflecting on and criticizing the axioms that pervaded the entire political field in the 19th century - egalitarian mass democracy, unfettered capitalism and its consumerism, materialism, and the welfare state - Burckhardt challenged and even subverted the linear view of historical progress dominated by Enlightenment and rationalism, advocating finding the spiritual strength to deal with the crisis of modern Western culture from the history of Greece, Rome, the Renaissance, and its humanist tradition.

The work that everyone in history Xu Zhuoyun expected! Facing an increasingly chaotic world, a 94-year-old man made an urgent appeal for the present and the ardent expectations of the future world: understand the inseparability of China and the world. The world needs China, and China needs the world. Mr. Xu Zhuoyun uses the macro-historical view of "seeing China from the world, and then seeing the world from China" and uses clear logic and concise language to present three aspects of content to readers: first, China's traditional inward-looking economic form and its connection with the world economy; second, the rise and fall of globalized trade in the modern world and the new world pattern based on it; third, now that "globalization" has reached its trough, the path China should adhere to and the direction of the future world. Mr. Xu believes that over the past two thousand years, Chinese culture and economy have developed a unique temperament through interaction with the world. He also pointed out that the traditional Chinese "people-oriented" thinking and the concept of "world harmony" should become important theoretical resources for building future world development.

"Zi Zhi Tong Jian" is written from the Warring States Period to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, showing the living people and stories in the 1,362-year history of the 16 dynasties. It can be said to be the "big data" and "super case collection" of Chinese politics and culture. The problems and confusions we encounter today, whether personal or national, have been encountered and dealt with by our historical ancestors, and they can all find experience and lessons in Zizhi Tongjian. The author of this book, Hua Shan, translates the entire Zizhi Tongjian in "vernacular Chinese" and tries his best to retain the operation and maintenance of the original text, making people pick it up like reading a novel and not be able to put it down. At the same time, it combines the views of famous experts from past dynasties and Hua Shan's own comments to explain the wisdom in Zizhi Tongjian that is truly useful to ordinary people in the 21st century - it can be understood after reading it once, and it can be used after reading it.

This is a book of historical truth exchanged for blood, tears and memory. For more than 20 years, Japanese journalist Nishiri Fuyongko has been deeply investigating the secrets of Unit 731. Through a large number of field interviews and historical investigation, he has interviewed the parties involved, war criminals and survivors, and reconstructed the inhuman history that was covered up. Including human experimentation, germ warfare, poison gas testing, etc., All crimes should not be forgotten. The book adopts the method of oral history, supplemented by original archives, testimonies of war criminals and historical photos, using facts as the truth and preserving evidence for history. Behind the war are thousands of concrete and innocent lives. Those who survived will spend the rest of their lives fighting against the shadows, while the "Maruta" who died silently will never be able to speak. This is not only an exposure of past atrocities, but also a questioning of human conscience. History cannot be forgotten and the truth must be responded to. This work has also become the spiritual starting point for the upcoming documentary of the same name, awakening sleeping memories, filling the obscured historical gaps, and arousing widespread resonance. A catastrophe that has been sealed for many years, a historical reappearance that awakens conscience with facts.

After being an aggrieved prince for 27 years, he unexpectedly ascended the throne at the age of 36. In just 6 years, he accomplished three major events that rewrote history - opening up the sea ban and igniting global trade (earning one-third of the world's silver), ending two hundred years of bloody war between the Ming and Mongolia (saving sky-high military expenditures), and pardoning his remonstrators to initiate reforms. However, he indulged in violent death at the peak of his power. He is the most underestimated emperor in history: he endured for half his life in exchange for the Ming Dynasty's return to glory, but he himself became the key puzzle in the dynasty's transformation from decline to prosperity.

If you want to achieve great things, first read Langya Wang Family. Langya Wang summed up the secret of her success as: speaking and doing things in a slow manner. This seems to go against common sense, because we always say that we should strike first to gain the upper hand, but the Langya Wang family has used wisdom passed down for thousands of years and bloody lessons to tell us: Those who achieve great things must be slow. The protagonist of this book, Director Wang, the founder of "The King and the Horse Share the World", is a chronic man. Facing the challenges from wealthy families such as Sima Family and Yingchuan Yu Family, he always let those who like to strike first to gain the upper hand to try and make mistakes, and then learn from their failures to reduce their own trial and error costs. In the end, he relied on this "slow-paced" wisdom to defeat all his contemporaries, making the Langya Wang family a powerful family that overpowered the imperial power and controlled the world behind the scenes. If you want to achieve small things and pursue small profits, you may have to strike first; but if you want to achieve big things and create a century-old foundation, you might as well wait a moment.
