In "Talking about Spring and Autumn", I once traveled to the chaos of Confucius's era, and then to the Warring States Period. Not just random ones, all the masters and disciples of the schools from the Warring States Period have traveled through time. In Lanling City, the four great masters each occupy their own area, including Confucians, Taoists, Mohists, famous masters, Legalists, Yin-Yangists, novelists, peasants, etc. The founders of sects or their disciples and descendants are all here. They lived, thought, and argued freely. In this "time-travel drama" starring the scholars of the Warring States Period, the spiritual legacy left to future generations by the Warring States Period appears in its original form.

This book can help you understand: the logic of China's historical evolution, the reasons why China's miracle continues, and how to understand our role in the world. At this critical juncture, everyone is thinking about the future. When we think about the future, the most important thing is to set goals. How to set goals depends on how you understand yourself, China, and the world. Everyone should think about-how does a person understand the environment in the ups and downs of the waves? Why has China risen rapidly in the past 40 years? Can the Chinese miracle last? What will the world be like in the future? What role should you play in the general environment?

"Chaos" is the biggest characteristic of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. As a popular reading book, the author respects historical facts and uses the narrative method of "historical psychology" to explain the history of the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties in 12 topics, including the clan politics of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sinicization and the true reform of ethnic minorities, "Hou Jing's Rebellion", Buddhism, economic differences, the Battle of Feishui, the "Eight Kings Rebellion", etc. The author not only reviews and introduces relevant representative research results in the academic world, but also adds supplements. I also expressed some personal opinions or raised questions about things that I thought were not adequately explained or inappropriate content. For example, the author believes that the instigator of the "Eight Kings Rebellion" should be King Zhao Sima Lun, and that Jia should not be held responsible later. For example, the author believes that it is neither accurate nor fair to say that "plain talk" is being beaten to death with a stick. Fundamentally speaking, "talking harms the country" is due to the ruling class's hiring errors. National power should not be handed over to people who evade social responsibilities by talking.

The "Chinese History for Everyone" series is a brand-new general history of China. It does not introduce readers to dry historical events and knowledge points, but explores the deep logic behind Chinese history and provides a new set of cognitive methods for understanding Chinese history. The series consists of 4 volumes and 13 volumes, presenting a panoramic view of the evolution of "China", a unique and tenacious life entity. Volume 5 "Crisis and Test" focuses on the unique operating methods of the Eastern Han Empire, helping us understand that China's transition from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties has an interesting historical evolution model. You will see: Although the Eastern Han and Western Han Dynasties are both "Han", the basis of the Eastern Han Dynasty's regime is the co-governance of the emperor and aristocratic families; the tripartite forces of relatives, eunuchs and noble families repeatedly fought in the court The killings eventually disintegrated the Han Empire; the source of the divisions in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties can be found in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was the land policy that did not suppress annexation; Cao Cao's rise was not due to "holding the emperor to order the princes", but because of the strong power that came from the implementation of farming; Wang Chong was a very special thinker, and inadvertently became a key figure in the transformation of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty to metaphysics in the Wei and Jin Dynasties...

"Gaul Wars" records Caesar's battles in Gaul from 58 BC to 51 BC. Caesar's masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, a classic work in Latin, is rich in connotation: military fans watch battles, historians discuss events, folklorists explore European humanities, strategists understand the way of kings and hegemons, and Caesar fans watch Caesar. By conquering Gaul, Caesar gained important political capital. Behind the simple and objective text of "The Gallic War" is a deliberate defense to fight back against Pompey, deceive the Senate, and create a personal image of a heroic and benevolent hero. The book is filled with pride in the Roman spirit, respect for the bravery and simplicity of the barbarians, and reflections on civilization.

"The Civil War" records the decisive war between Caesar and his old enemy Pompey from 49 BC to 48 BC. Pompey had the upper hand and was arrogant, pressing forward step by step. Caesar insisted on peace talks first and won public opinion and popular support. The plain and simple words in this book are very persuasive, and the seemingly long-winded sentences contain infinite meaning. Pompey had been a powerful figure in the battlefield since his youth, and he was shining in the political arena, while Caesar was steady and forbearing. Civil war was imminent. Caesar acted unethically and sent troops unreasonably. His lightning attack disrupted all Pompey's plans. The decisive moment of the two heroes' struggle for hegemony was a fierce collision of the strategic thinking of the two military geniuses, leaving future generations with endless emotions of success and failure.

China's modern history is not only a history of humiliation, but also a history of the Chinese people's unrelenting struggle for national independence and national prosperity. The so-called humiliation is mainly reflected in the "sinking" period of history, and the so-called struggle is mainly reflected in the "rising" period of history. This is not to say that there was no struggle during the "sinking" period of history. The Chinese people had many struggles during that period. However, due to insufficient awakening, insufficient material strength, and insufficient struggle experience, the Chinese people's struggles at that time were not enough to stop the "sinking" of Chinese society; during the "rising" period of history, it was not without humiliation. The Japanese imperialist aggression against China caused even more serious damage than previous imperialist aggressions. However, due to the unprecedented national awakening and unprecedented arduous struggle of the Chinese people, Chinese society not only avoided further "sinking", but also won a complete victory in the anti-aggression war, laying the foundation for China's modernization.
