However, there are only a few records of many important ritual systems of the Zhou Dynasty in the documents handed down from ancient times. Studying the major ritual systems of the Zhou Dynasty will not only help us fully and deeply understand the content of the ritual and music system of the Zhou Dynasty, but will also be of great benefit to our study and understanding of the social and political conditions of this period.

The research content is mainly divided into five parts, involving the study of the five important etiquettes found in "Zuo Zhuan of Spring and Autumn Period": auspicious etiquette, unlucky etiquette, military etiquette, guest etiquette, and Jiali etiquette.

"Reflection and Reconstruction of the Research Paradigm of Debate in Contemporary China" tells the story of debate, as a non-violent verbal means, which can mediate conflicting interests, clarify and resolve differences of opinion, and coordinate each other's actions. Compared with using administrative, high-pressure, economic and other means to deal with conflicts and contradictions, it is the best means to resolve social conflicts. In addition, the generation and development of academic knowledge also need to be certified and driven by debate. However, this debate research, which has great social and academic significance, has not yet been fully carried out in our country. The research scale and investment are small, and theoretical exploration has problems such as outdated concepts and being divorced from reality. This current situation is not only completely different from the rich meaning and lofty research status that this concept was endowed with in the axial era of Chinese civilization - the pre-Qin period of contention of a hundred schools of thought - but also forms a clear contrast with its circulation and application in contemporary Western discourse. "Reflection and Reconstruction of the Paradigm of Debate Research in Contemporary China" addresses the above issues and compares and interprets some concepts formed in the research on debate in contemporary China from the diachronic and cross-cultural perspectives in both vertical and horizontal dimensions, with a view to outlining a more constructive conceptual system and theoretical framework for the healthy development of this important field on this basis.

This book comprehensively reproduces the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty (Later Jin Dynasty) from 1618 to 1644, taking you back to the time of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, telling the little-known historical details, and revealing the truth of the war that has been deliberately hidden. The war started with a sneak attack on Fushun. Nurhachi was as cunning as a fox and as ferocious as a wolf. He likes to fight undeclared, cooperate inside and outside, and can often concentrate his forces to defeat the smaller ones with more troops. The Ming Dynasty did not pay attention to the rapid rise of Hou Jin at first, and they obviously underestimated their opponents. From Fushun to Sarhu, from Shenyang, Liaoyang and then to Guangning, Nurhachi won again and again. The lessons from the Battle of Saarhu also allowed the Ming Dynasty to re-understand the enemy, switching from strategic offense to strategic defense, from the Ningyuan victory to the Ningjin battle, and successfully suppressed the Houjin Iron Cavalry with strong city artillery. The Guan-Ning-Jin defense line, with Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan as its supporting points, became an insurmountable fortress for Nurhaci and Huang Taiji and his son. After more than ten years of confrontation between the Ming and Qing armies, the moment of decisive battle finally arrived. The Ming Dynasty sent its strongest lineup, with Hong Chengchou as the commander. The Ming army's main force in Liaodong, Guan Ning cavalry, and all the elites from the nine-border towns went into battle. The Qing army also mobilized all its troops, and Huang Taiji, who was seriously ill, even went to the front line to command in person. This is a decisive battle that no one can afford to lose. Both sides tried their best. Although the Ming army was seriously injured, it still had the strength to counterattack. However, the peasant army from within the Ming Dynasty destroyed the empire. The war between Ming and Qing Dynasties ended in an unexpected way. Although the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty did not officially end until 1662, the outcome of this war still profoundly changed the direction of Chinese history. When the Ming Dynasty met the Qing Dynasty, it was a confrontation between firearms and bows and arrows, and a collision between farming civilization and fishing and hunting peoples. Between the decline and the rise, what are the unknown secrets? History is not that simple.

This book contains some of the research papers written by Zhu Xiaoyang, a professor in the Department of Sociology at Peking University, since he began his academic research. The theme of these papers focused on defining topography and "thorough explanation". The political topography theory proposed in this book, as well as the "anthropological ontological turn" behind the theory, have become important research contents in the international anthropology community and even the entire social science field.

However, Mr. Lu's book is concise and simple in writing, which is relatively simple.

The Sima family in Hanoi, the Wang family in Langye, the Yu family in Yingchuan, the Xie family in Chenjun, the Pei family in Hedong... Almost all the people who left their mark on history were from these wealthy families.

This book describes the history of the rise, power and decline of the scholar-bureaucrat families who occupied the pinnacle of power during the three dynasties of Wei, Western Jin and Eastern Jin for two hundred years. The scholar-bureaucrats in the aristocratic family, some were talented, some were noble, and some were full of conspiracy. For the prosperity of the family, for freedom and ideals, and for power and throne, they created the magic of history and left for future generations such wonderful chapters as Sima's usurpation of the throne, the return of the Three Kingdoms to Jin, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the resurrection of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the dynasty of kings and horses.
