What should be recorded in history? Is it to write down important people or important things? Great figures such as Yan Yuan, Qu Yuan, Tao Yuanming, and Su Wu have basically done nothing important in history, but they have played an important role in traditional Chinese culture.

Let us enter "Historical Records" and follow Sima Qian to taste the love and hatred in it.

In the thousands of years of history of the Chinese nation, there are too many familiar stories. However, are these beautiful legends that have been passed down for thousands of years real history? In fact, history can be "narrated", and reality can be fictionalized. The true face of history that we have always known is not what we know. Is King Zhou of Shang really a tyrant through the ages? What is the story of the Zhao orphans? Is Guan Yu qualified for the title of "Martial Saint"? Is Zhuge Liang really the wisest of all time? Are the generals of the Yang family as majestic as in the storytelling? Who is the traitor He Shen, Liu Yong or Ji Xiaolan? Our book aims to uncover those historical figures and events that have been distorted in the long-term circulation, return them to their original appearance in history, and further explore the reasons for these misunderstandings, so as to present the historical reality in front of people as much as possible and "rectify" these familiar historical events and historical figures.

Southwest Associated University was officially established in 1938 and closed on July 31, 1946. During the Anti-Japanese War, it continued teaching and research, preserved important academic resources, and trained a large number of future academic backbones. Mr. Zheng Tianting has been involved in this process from beginning to end. He was first appointed as a professor and has served as the general secretary since 1940, presiding over academic affairs, school affairs and other work. During this period, Mr. Zheng insisted on keeping a diary. His diary started on January 1, 1938 and ended on July 14, 1946. Zhongque was from May to December 1941, March 22 to April 10, 1943, and November 4 to December 31, 1945. Its start and end times are almost the same as those of Southwest Associated University. Among them, the period from May to December 1941 was recorded and lost accidentally, and the rest of the missing items were not recorded. Mr. Zheng holds important positions in Southwest Associated University, including the Director of Administration and the Deputy Director of the Institute of Liberal Arts of Peking University. It is conceivable that the various work and personnel affairs of the three schools of Premier Peking University, Tsinghua University and Nankai University are complicated and complicated, and the contradictions among them are difficult to deal with. Such as the application and allocation of funds, the construction and management of dormitories, the establishment and changes of positions, the placement and transfer of teaching staff, the recruitment and education of students... All of these issues must be dealt with one by one. At this time, Mr. Zheng showed his selfless enthusiasm and superhuman talents for education, making everything go smoothly. The achievements of Southwest Associated University are shining in the annals of history, and Mr. Zheng's management work is indispensable. As an important tool for Mr. Zheng to record affairs and sort out his thoughts, the diary unsurprisingly contains a large number of events and handling measures related to school affairs. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call it the school history material of Southwest Associated University.

Chinese traditional culture is extensive and profound and is the pride of the entire Chinese nation. Thousands of years ago, traditional culture flourished with hundreds of schools of thought contending. In the pre-Qin period, the old social system was about to disintegrate, and a new social order was still being explored. There were many different opinions in the world, and many schools of thought such as Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, and Legalism were formed, among which Confucianism was particularly prominent. However, by the Warring States Period, it was clear that Confucian thought had failed to adapt to the development of society and was in decline. At this time, Mencius and Xunzi emerged one after another. Both of them studied under Confucius and took it as their own duty to inherit the Confucian orthodoxy and promote the Confucian spirit. In addition, Dong Zhongshu in the early Han Dynasty proposed "deposing hundreds of schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", which established the dominance of Confucianism in feudal society for more than two thousand years.
