The abolition of the imperial examination was one of the most important changes in modern society. Whether we can evaluate it realistically and draw lessons from it depends on a comprehensive and clear understanding of the relevant historical facts. In particular, the decision-making process, the intention of the system change, the aftermath arrangements, the feelings of the relevant people and the actual impact on all parties in society are crucial. This research result has corrected some biases and misunderstandings in the past, and is conducive to deepening the understanding of the relationship between the abolition of the imperial examination and modern society, and has important academic value. This research result confirms that institutional changes are not isolated. The process of the immediate suspension of the imperial examination must be examined in conjunction with the overall changes in society in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China in order to rectify the source. If the relevant connections are ignored or separated, it will not only easily confuse the difference between direct and indirect effects, but even amplify the individual into the whole, hindering correct judgment and leading to misunderstanding of other related issues. Therefore, the research results have application value in methodology.

This is a book that gives people unexpected surprises! In addition to being an introductory book to popularize the ancient Chinese structure, the author of this book uses unconventional economics, military, and international relations thinking to objectively and profoundly deconstruct the interest structure behind the ancient Chinese structure and the subtle game between the large groups at that time.

This book describes the basic overview of the entire society after the Northeast became a Japanese colony after the September 18th Incident. The whole book is named after Northeast, and the scope of discussion basically includes the history and territory of the Puppet Manchukuo. In addition to the three northeastern provinces that people know today, it also includes Jehol in North China and Inner Mongolia. In recent years, with the discussion and diversification of evaluation issues in modern history, some misconceptions have become popular, such as believing that concessions and foreign colonies have a high degree of modernization, thus affirming and beautifying what foreign colonists did in China. This manuscript can be said to have relatively effectively refuted the theory that Japan promoted the industrialization and modernization of Northeast China in the puppet Manchukuo. This is the important significance of this manuscript.

In a village in Chengbu Miao Autonomous County in southwestern Hunan Province, there is an ancestral hall with a gray brick and concrete structure built during the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty. It is very prominent in mountain ethnic areas where wooden structure buildings are the mainstay. The villagers surnamed Lan claimed that they were descendants of Lan Yu, the founding minister of the Ming Dynasty, and wrote the four characters "Lanyu's Hometown" on the back wall of the ancestral hall. According to "Records of Taizu", Lan Yu is from Dingyuan, Anhui Province. Why do the Miao people in Hunan claim that they are descendants of Lan Yu? What kind of identity do they have with the Miao ethnic group while claiming that they are descendants of Lan Yu? The study of this book is to reveal the changes and continuation of the social structure and its mechanisms through in-depth observation of such a Miao village and clan with a long history, and to use this as a basis to discuss the issue of ethnic identity.

In the context of today's world economic globalization, the traditional culture of ethnic minorities, especially those with smaller populations, is gradually losing, and this trend is accelerating. How to effectively inherit the traditional culture of ethnic groups with small populations so that they can embark on the path of sustainable development has gradually become a focus of attention from relevant international and domestic organizations and academic circles. From the perspective of cultural relativism, this book uses theoretical models and research methods of sociology, educational sociology, and anthropology to analyze the trajectory and causes of cultural changes of the Brown people, a small population, through theoretical discussions and field surveys. It pays special attention to the interaction between cultural inheritance and educational practice, and considers it from emic and etic standpoints based on the specific social environment, thereby revealing how the traditional culture of a small population can be passed down benignly, which has certain practical significance.

Liang Qichao's special position in modern Chinese history lies in the fact that he was not only a participant, but also a recorder and interpreter of important historical events: whether it was major political events such as the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty or the constitutional government in the early Republic of China, or cultural and ideological processes such as the academic inheritance of the late Qing Dynasty. This book starts from Liang Qichao's three key Qing academic history writings (namely, "Introduction to Qing Dynasty Academics", "China's Academic History in the Past Three Hundred Years", and Chapter 8 "Modern Academics" of "On the General Trend of Changes in Chinese Academic Thought"), restores the different contexts of Liang's previous and later narrations, clarifies his role in the "modern literature" movement in the late Qing Dynasty, and historically analyzes the "modern literature" remarks of Liang, Tan Sitong, Xia Zengyou and others, showing a process of gradual formation and change.

At the same time, it uses a "long-term, long-distance, wide-view" interpretation method to comprehensively present the internal logic and game rules behind the cycle of chaos in China's history.

This book has a broad vision, unique methods, and detailed documentation.

The governor system originated in the Ming Dynasty and was formed in the Qing Dynasty. As provincial chief executives, local governors were the intermediate link between the Qing court and the grassroots political power of prefectures and counties, and had the operational function of connecting the previous and the next. During the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty, local governors could not only participate in and influence the New Deal decision-making of the central government of the Qing Dynasty to a certain extent, but also were the actual leaders in promoting the specific implementation of the New Deal in each province. This shows that they played a vital role in the New Deal process. At the same time, as the Qing court worked to strengthen centralization through the New Deal, the power of local governors and their influence on the central decision-making of the Qing court gradually evolved, resulting in obvious changes in the power structure of the late Qing Dynasty. During the Revolution of 1911, the power relationship between the central and local governments became a power structure in which "both internal and external parties were underemphasized." The overall manifestation was that the authority of the central and local governments was lost together. The central government was unable to control local governments, and local governments were unable to be loyal to the central government. The direct consequence of the formation of a power structure of "both internal and external" was that neither the central or local governments of the Qing court could effectively respond to the revolution, leading the Qing Dynasty to its downfall. Another serious consequence was the rise of military forces who controlled the military, especially the New Army, and military interference in government, which led to warlord politics in the early years of the Republic of China.

The history of Turks and Uighurs in the Middle Ages is very important to the study of Turkic-speaking peoples today. The history of Tiele, Turks, and Uighurs recorded in "Zizhi Tongjian" is clear and coherent, with extensive materials and detailed records. This book deals with this part of historical data in two ways. The first is revision, that is, referring to other historical materials, including historical materials in Turkic language, to correct the errors and to raise doubts on doubtful areas to facilitate future research. The second is the annotation, which is to briefly note my own reading experience and the relevant research results at home and abroad after the historical materials to facilitate readers' in-depth understanding of the historical materials. This book is the oldest compilation of ancient books among the works on the study of Turkic and Uighur historical materials, filling a gap in this field.

After thousands of years of population migration and inter-ethnic marriage, the various ethnic groups in China have become "I am in you and you are in me". The blood and cultural integration between each other are inseparable and should not be separated. When studying and analyzing ethnic issues in China today, we cannot cut off the long history of interaction and integration of various ethnic groups in China for thousands of years, nor can we ignore the concept of "ethnicity" that has been inherited from thousands of years of Chinese cultural tradition. There is a difference between China's traditional "ethnic view" and the "nation-state", "nation" and "ethnic" concepts that emerged in European civilization. This is the main reason why Europe has established many side-by-side small countries while China has been a unified multi-ethnic country for thousands of years. We must insist on using the basic idea of ​​"the pluralistic unity of the Chinese nation" to understand the history, current situation and future development of China's ethnic relations, and cannot return to the narrow Han nationalist idea of ​​"driving out the Tartars and restoring China" in the late Qing Dynasty. Only in this way can we closely unite the people of all ethnic groups in the country to build a harmonious society and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the new century on the basis of mutual recognition and common prosperity of all ethnic groups.

Where should we start from the magnificent historical picture? The replacement of ancient regimes, the economic and trade of ancient humans, the exchange and spread of culture, the miracles created by ancient craftsmen... This book takes a new approach, taking time as the axis and using parallel narratives to deduce world history and Chinese history layer by layer, comb through the details of history, clarify the historical context of human survival and development, reproduce the trend of Chinese civilization from a global perspective, re-examine the history of human civilization and Chinese civilization, and think about the direction of human civilization.

The Republic of China period was a period of social transformation that witnessed rapid changes in modern Chinese society.

This book tells the relationship between the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty and the rise and fall of its bureaucracy and army. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, a rogue and bandit, established the dynasty with a strong army and was recorded in history books as Emperor Taizu Gao. However, the failed Li Zicheng became a thief, thief, bandit, and bandit. Although he was also an emperor, old historians were snobbish. However, force can be used to seize political power, but it cannot be used to govern a country. To govern a country, you must establish a bureaucracy that is easy to use and can be used by the emperor, and bureaucracy must use literati. The interests of the scholar-bureaucrats were consistent with the imperial power. They served the imperial power and helped the emperor govern the country. Once this institution was completely corrupted, the empire would inevitably fall. The famous historian Wu Han uses a fair and rigorous attitude, real and interesting historical materials, and reveals the historical logic behind the rise and fall of the Ming Empire from the two main perspectives of bureaucracy and the army.

Asking questions is a kind of courage and sincerity. It is an inevitable talent of a 22-year-old youth, but it is a memory that is forever lost by the aging and incompetent mainstream society."

The Liao, Song, Xia and Jin eras were the golden age of my country's publishing industry. The Jin regime established by the Jurchens inherited the existing publishing achievements of the Liao and Northern Song Dynasties and continued to develop on this basis. It made important contributions to promoting the development of publishing in northern my country and had an important impact on the publishing industry of the Yuan Dynasty. However, there are still many weaknesses in the current academic research on book publishing in the Jin Dynasty, and it is impossible to fully understand the book publishing in the Jin Dynasty. Moreover, the existing research results are more focused on the printing of Jin Dynasty books. Issues such as the compilation of Jin Dynasty books, the location of Jin Dynasty book engravings, and the circulation of Jin Dynasty books need to be further discussed. Based on actively drawing on relevant research results in the academic community and extensively collecting first-hand information, this manuscript conducts an overall in-depth study of book publishing in the Jin Dynasty from various publishing processes for the first time.

It has been 50 years since the pottery inscriptions were unearthed at the Lingyang River site.

This book examines the evolution of the chamberlain system from the Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, highlighting the close relationship between concepts and systems. In the early Northern Wei Dynasty, there was no distinction between internal and external dynasties. The Sui Dynasty unified the north and the south, established the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and positioned the internal affairs department as a subordinate agency of Nanya. In the early Li and Tang Dynasties, the internal servant system inherited the establishment model of the early Sui Dynasty, and internal servants could still serve as officials of the external court. By the time of the rise of the Anshi army, the practice of eunuchs serving as officials at foreign courts reached its final peak. Since the death of Yu Chao En in the Tang Dynasty, eunuchs no longer served as external court officials in principle, but the internal dynasty institutions and functions controlled by eunuchs expanded. During the turmoil in the late Tang Dynasty, eunuchs broke through the political participation model of the inner dynasty system.
