The Qing Dynasty ruled China for more than two hundred years, during which time there were almost constant battles both inside and outside the palace. Among the royal family, the establishment of the crown prince and the succession to the throne caused great ups and downs; among the courtiers, there was a great deal of competition for seeking superiority and personal gain; and there were also many intrigues among concubines and eunuch groups. All these constitute scenes of human tragedy and comedy. The fierceness of court battles in the Qing Dynasty, coupled with the mystery of alien races, added a strong and strange flavor to the palace coup. Historically, there have been only a few research monographs on this topic. The author of this book uses in-depth research, detailed analysis, and layer-by-layer presentation to show readers the strange cases, legends and changes in the Qing palace.

Revolution changes the political landscape of the world, changing countries, societies, families, and individuals. The tension of revolution, especially the communist revolution, gives this change an energy far beyond that of other political movements. This is the reason why revolution was once hailed like a pilgrim. However, whether it is a revolutionary event in a specific historical situation or a revolutionary movement in the overall scope, it is still subject to the constraints of historical and realistic circumstances. Revolution is a powerful tool for people to change their destiny under certain circumstances, but it is not a panacea that can cure all diseases. In the process of human civilization, revolution is even abnormal. Revolutions often come at the expense of breaking existing rules, and rules are an indispensable cornerstone for the formation, survival, and progress of human society. The conflicts displayed during them always remind people that behind the dazzling tension of revolution, there should and must be its own limits. Through the form of special research, this book explores a specific period with turning significance, cuts into the political, military, and social core of the Central Soviet Area, deepens the understanding of the history of the Soviet Area, and draws lessons from it.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the Chinese government and relevant organizations have launched the "China Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Project" and the "Chinese National Folk Cultural Heritage Rescue Project" respectively. The protection of intangible cultural heritage has become a major event in the history of China in the 21st century. However, due to the lag in theoretical research, many problems have arisen in our protection work, some of which have even seriously affected the quality and process of intangible cultural heritage protection. To this end, we have specially written a theoretical book on intangible cultural heritage in the form of questions and answers for cadres on the front line of intangible cultural heritage protection - "A Must-Read for Cadres in the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage". This book attempts to use the most popular form to tell stories about intangible cultural heritage. The most basic academic theories and knowledge, principles and concepts of cultural heritage, as well as the problems and countermeasures that arise in the process of declaration, inheritance and protection of intangible cultural heritage, are told to every intangible cultural heritage protection worker, so as to make our contribution to the protection of intangible cultural heritage in China.

The study of the history of the Taiping Rebellion has achieved fruitful results, but now every step forward requires great efforts. This book attempts to examine the Taiping Rebellion in the context of the entire modern Chinese society from the perspective of multi-party interactions. It not only traces the political, military, and economic conditions of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period from a social perspective; it also focuses on the social dynamics at that time and the ideological characteristics of Hong Xiuquan and others, covering issues that are confusing and controversial in the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom; it also examines the countermeasures of the Qing court as its opponent, the ups and downs of officialdom and people's livelihood conditions, and its impact on late Qing society. New writing on old topics, well-founded remarks, and new ideas will undoubtedly vigorously promote the study of the history of the late Qing Dynasty and the Taiping Rebellion.

The February 28th Incident was a movement by the Taiwanese people to pursue provincial political reform in the early days of independence. Influenced by the rising democratic movement in the mainland, the main demands were to implement local autonomy in Taiwan at an early date, directly elect county mayors, change the chief executive's office into a provincial government, abolish the monopoly bureau and trade bureau, share political power and economic interests, and build their own hometown. The methods of struggle include peaceful negotiations, requiring the authorities to accept reform demands, and the military police and citizens working together to maintain local security. Armed resistance has emerged in some areas of central and southern China. From a nationwide perspective, it is an integral part of the postwar national democratic movement; from a perspective of Taiwan's unique development history, it is a continuation of the Taiwanese elite's demand for autonomy during the Japanese occupation. The February 28 Incident was a spontaneous movement of love for the land and hometown of the Taiwanese people. It was a conflict between the government and the people and class opposition, rather than a provincial conflict or ethnic conflict. This book uses rich and detailed information to reproduce the historical scene of February 28th.

In the decades after 1949, the writing of modern Chinese history by domestic historians was basically equivalent to the writing of the history of the Chinese revolution. This is largely due to the fact that revolution is indeed the main theme of modern Chinese history and an important code that dominates the development of the entire modern Chinese history. Today, when we have bid farewell to revolution, as historical researchers, we cannot simply give up, forget or deny those concepts that we have been obsessed with for a long time. We must ask, how were those revolutionary discourses and revolutionary political culture that have long been molded into our ideological values ​​​​constructed? How did it evolve? This is where the thinking in this book begins.

This book starts from the social and political realities of various stages in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and carefully combs the development process of the formation, establishment, evolution and destruction of the examination system in the Northern Wei Dynasty. This paper discusses the relationship between the examination system of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the dual administrative system of Hu and Han, and points out that before Emperor Xiaowen reformed the official system, the inner court officials with Xianbei characteristics in the central administrative system basically did not take exams, and the local administrative system did not take exams for chiefs and tribal chiefs, but the government adopted various methods to conduct exams for state, county and county officials. The mutual mobility between the central court, the outer court and local officials actually strengthened the examination and thus played a destructive role in the dual system of Hu and Han. This paper analyzes the relationship between the examination system and elections in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and points out that in the Northern Wei Dynasty, examinations and elections were gradually separated due to the specialization of the content of Xiu Xiao policy questions, changes in election objects, and the transformation of Zhongzheng functions. It also discusses the relationship between the examination system and the salary system in the Northern Wei Dynasty, as well as the relationship between the examination system in the Northern Wei Dynasty and the patrol of ambassadors, the reporting of officials and the people, and the promotion and punishment of officials.

This book traces the complete historical details of the Jingkang disaster at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, tells the peace and war between the Song, Liao, and Jin parties, focusing on the key moments of the great changes in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the causes and consequences of the overall crisis that broke out in the empire from the inside out. During the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the empire was prosperous, but hidden dangers under the prosperous times had become an undercurrent. Internal crises such as financial difficulties, chronic military diseases, and vicious party disputes, as well as external crises such as military threats from the Liao and Jin countries in the north, made the empire gradually unstable. In order to "recover" the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun as a strategic barrier, Song Huizong decided to unite with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty. Although the Song-Jin alliance gradually encroached on the Liao Kingdom, the Jin State took advantage of this to see the weakness of the Northern Song Dynasty. Coupled with the complicated interest disputes between the two countries, the Jin State turned south to attack the Song Dynasty. In the first year of Jingkang (1126), the Jin army besieged Bianjing for the second time, and the city fell in November. The Northern Song Dynasty collapsed suddenly, and only three years passed from its prosperity to its demise.

During the reign of Song Huizong, China was almost the most advanced country in the world. During his more than twenty years in power, this artistically gifted emperor led the Song Dynasty to its cultural peak. However, because he was captured by the Jurchens and eventually died in a foreign country, Song Huizong was considered by later generations to be a failed emperor and a negative example of moral education. Professor Yi Peixia worked hard for decades to write "Song Huizong", which became the first complete biography of the emperor in the English-speaking world, trying to correct the public's prejudice against Huizong as "corrupt and mediocre". Yi Peixia reshapes the image of Song Huizong, puts him back into the historical context, and restores the ambition of a monarch of a prosperous country to constantly pursue excellence and glory - even though this ambition ended in tragedy. Huizong struggled to rise above court factionalism early in his reign, then turned his attention to his areas of expertise. He greatly expanded the court's charity and established official schools, hospitals, orphanages, and beggars' cemeteries. As an artist, he was surrounded by outstanding poets, painters, and musicians. He also built magnificent palaces, temples, and gardens that would be almost unsurpassed by later generations. He favored Taoist priests, annotated the Taoist scriptures, and allowed his subjects to accept and practice this belief. However, his piety to Taoism eventually deviated from the mainstream of Confucianism, weakening his ability to govern the country.

The mentality of becoming an official was the dominant mentality of literati in the feudal era. It was limited to knowledge and values, and had long been on the fringes of mainstream academic vision.

In this work, Tuchman focuses his attention on Western society 25 years before the outbreak of the "World War I", using an artist's approach to reproduce the ideological trends and ideals, sudden changes and disputes at that time: before the "August Cannons" exploded, the British aristocratic world began to collapse, and power shifted to a new class, passionate anarchy. The righteous dreamed of a harmonious world, imperialist sentiments climbed to the New World, the U. S. Navy quietly rose, the Dreyfus incident set off a fierce confrontation within the French, Strauss's music and Nietzsche's thoughts influenced Germany... Under the appearance of prosperity, the old world was already full of troubles. That era did not die of old age or accidents, but exploded in a terminal crisis and became an important page in history. ... (It is) more than confidence, innocence, comfort, stability, security and peace. People who lived in that era also misled us. When they looked back across the chasm of war, the first half of their lives were shrouded in the mist of a beautiful sunset, full of peace and tranquility. And we mistakenly believe that doubt, fear, turmoil, protest, violence and hatred do not exist. --Barbara W. Tuchman

In the first half of the 20th century, China and the United States were at an intersection. This was an encounter between an ancient but weak ancient country and another young but powerful emerging country. In this book, we follow Stilwell, an eccentric but true hero and one of America's greatest theater commanders, as we witness the historic encounter that represented America's attempt to make China more like itself. Beyond these quixotic efforts, which have repeatedly failed, modern China reveals its backbone.

This book mainly uses social control theory to systematically elaborate on the process of the Kuomintang regime reconstructing the ruling order and effectively implementing local control in Wanzai County, Jiangxi Province, under the macro-historical framework of the "state-society" relationship. It is believed that Wanzai County in Jiangxi Province in the 1930s and 1940s continued the pace of decentralization of state power since the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty. As the state's bureaucratic political machine was transferred from counties to towns to Baobao, the state changed the configuration and operation of power, replacing the rationality of cultural traditions with the legitimacy of the system, and replacing traditional local authority with the coercion and irresistibility of state public power. At the same time, local social resources have been exploited by the state, their living space is increasingly lost, and they have lost their former organizational functions. As a result, the state established a ruling order of "strong government, weak society", thereby achieving the purpose of controlling grassroots society.
