The rise of the Taiping Army was rooted in the corruption of officials in the Qing government, who forced the people to rebel. But not long ago, civil unrest also broke out in the areas ruled by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. This phenomenon has profound implications. Previous studies on the Taiping Rebellion focused more on the Taiping Rebellion against the Qing Dynasty and less (or not at all) on the people's resistance to the Taiping Rebellion, which raises the intriguing question of "resisting the rebels." For even a "revolutionary" regime, to maintain long-term peace and stability, the direction and direction of the people's hearts and minds are also top-level issues. Through the study and judgment of more than 170 typical cases, this book gives a panoramic view of the interaction and influence between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom regime and the people. Based on specialized research on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's political history and military history, it constructs an important aspect of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's social history (the history of popular resistance) and objectively summarizes the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's historical experience and historical lessons.

Yunnan bacteriological warfare was carried out under the unified command of the Japanese base camp, with Unit 9420 of the Japanese Southern Army Bacteriological Warfare Unit as the main force, supplemented by other bacteriological warfare units. To study bacterial warfare in Yunnan, we must first explore the history of Unit 9420 of the Japanese invaders. The bacteriological warfare carried out by the Japanese invaders in Yunnan included attacks on humans and animals. The attacks on humans were mainly two forms of warfare: cholera bacteriological warfare and plague bacteriological warfare. This is the foothold and focus of this study. This book is the latest, most systematic and detailed study of the Japanese invasion of China Unit 9420 and the germ warfare in Yunnan so far in China. The author firmly believes that the relevant files on germ warfare disclosed by Japan in the future will prove the value of this research. Not only that, the author also hopes that this work can give new research connotation to the bacterial warfare of the Japanese invaders in Yunnan, and in this way promote the research of the 9420th Unit of the Japanese invaders and the bacterial warfare in Yunnan at home and abroad.

Starting from the mentality, based on collected works and historical materials, and combining individuals, times, society, and culture, it is the focus and rationale of the author's research to explore the interactions, activities, thoughts, and creative achievements of scholars.

Did the Yuan Dynasty die from inflation? From the rise of Genghis Khan to the decline and fall of the Yuan Dynasty, this is a history of the rise and decline of the Yuan Dynasty with finance as the line. A new work by the well-known historical writer Guo Jianlong! This book begins with the financial impact of Genghis Khan's Western expeditions. Genghis Khan adopted various measures such as the military plunder system, the Darucha Chi system, and the surrender system. He used the commercial spirit to establish a larger global political power and laid important economic, cultural, and political foundations for the Yuan Dynasty, the most commercial dynasty in ancient Chinese history. During the Kublai Khan period, serious financial risks and institutional malpractices arose due to the massive conquests. Subsequent emperors rotated like a revolving lantern, paving the way for the outcome of the Yuan Dynasty. The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were hesitant between the Mongolian and Han cultures, and the financial and political imbalance between the north and the south made the Yuan Dynasty's life hang on a thread. Open this book to unearth the mystery of the short life of the Yuan Dynasty from multiple dimensions and get a glimpse of the financial undercurrent of the historical evolution of ancient China.

77 days before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang launched a northern expedition to the remaining forces of the Yuan Dynasty, and Prince Zhu Biao stayed in Yingtianfu, Nanjing, the capital. Little did they know that in Nanjing at this time, undercurrents were surging. With the severe drought as the background and the arrest of Li Shanchang's nephew Li Bin for corruption as the trigger, a secret war began surrounding Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, and Liu Bowen. Various parties launched an arduous and complicated wrestling on this matter. When three major problems such as driving away the barbarians, eliminating natural disasters, and clearing up the rule of law suddenly hit them, the four people each showed their uprightness, strategy, and ferocity. A small incident suddenly became the biggest case in the early days of the Ming Dynasty. Who is confusing everything? What secrets are hidden behind this corruption case? Why did Liu Bowen resign and go home 11 days after the case ended? Did Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang really die because of the "Hu Weiyong Case"? All the secrets are within these 77 days!

The Chinese have always talked about the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, but what did these hegemons bring to the Chinese people? This question has never been answered. Qi Huangong's history of hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period is undoubtedly a vivid lesson - this is an era of great powers competing for hegemony, and its political landscape is the same as today. All great powers are working tirelessly for hegemony. Which one of economy, military, culture, morality and system is the key to the rise of a great power? Overlord Qi Huan will explain the meaning of "overlord" and teach us an interesting lesson. This book describes the life of Duke Huan of Qi, the first overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period. It tells how he won the throne, used Guan Zhong in an important position, worked hard to govern, respected the king and rejected the barbarians, and united the nine princes, making Qi a dominant country, which greatly changed the structure of China at that time and had a profound impact on later generations.

The history of the world economy in the 20th century is a history of crisis transfer. In the 1920s and 1930s, China could have stayed away from the global economic depression, but the storm of crisis still blew in through the window of Japan. Overcapacity, financial constraints, failed currency reform, international balance of payments imbalances... Japan's economic problems need to be passed on to the outside world, and China has become the last resort to absorb international excess production capacity. Even cement, a bulky commodity that is not suitable for international trade, has suffered high levels of dumping. Japanese companies do not hesitate to "go bankrupt for the country" and use weapons such as exchange depreciation, shipping subsidies, and agreed tariffs to try to strangle Chinese national cement companies such as Qixin and Huashang with low-priced cement. This book is an economic history monograph with the theme of commodity dumping. It shows a battle to defend the national economy jointly staged by national cement companies, the Nanjing National Government, and various social groups under desperate circumstances.

Ruling the world with documents is a prominent feature of the ancient Chinese state bureaucracy, and the differences in information communication and processing mechanisms in different periods also reveal their different era personalities and power operation methods. The clerical administration of the Song Dynasty relied on diversified information communication and a developed clerical system, and the depth it could achieve was far beyond that of previous generations. This book combs through the multiple channels of information communication that coexisted and competed with each other in the Song Dynasty. It analyzes the power operation mechanism under the political structure of the scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty starting from the daily administrative documents of the emperor and ministers such as imperial approval, provincial letters, and approval petitions, as well as the refutation system for decision-making behaviors.

The maintenance of a country depends on the extraction of resources. The methods of resource extraction correspond to different national governance models. Traditional China had a vast territory with various regional differences. Constrained by the backward transportation, rudimentary technical means and information capabilities at that time, how did the rulers draw resources across the country? This book starts with a number of variables that affect the country's resource extraction model, such as importance, scarcity, transaction costs, social effects, the country's bargaining power and multi-subjectivity. Combined with the characteristics of mining costs increasing over time, it discusses the Qing Dynasty's mineral resource extraction situation through rich and detailed historical materials. While revealing the Qing Dynasty's mining policy model and its inherent flaws, it also discusses several important principles and aspects of national governance at that time. Based on the above empirical facts, this book further connects the Ming and Qing dynasties' acquisition patterns of important materials such as salt, silk, porcelain, and horses. Combined with the general background of national transformation from the 15th to the 18th century, this book reveals the logic and dilemma of national governance in the Qing Dynasty by elucidating concepts such as "central comprehensive decision-making mechanism," "suspicious decision-making," "administrative information creation," and "case-based principles."

This book studies the land tax system during the Tang and Song Dynasties along three levels: the evolution of the system structure, the adjustment of the system implementation mechanism, and the impact of system changes. Among them, the evolution of institutional structure discusses the land tax and additional tax in the Tang and Song Dynasties from two perspectives: vertical and horizontal. The system implementation mechanism reveals the adjustment of land tax collection and management. The impact of system changes mainly analyzes the impact of changes in the land tax system on national finance, agricultural economy and farmers' lives. In the research process, we first focus on the study of the process of changes in the land tax system, and strive to grasp and capture the key policies, systems and nodes that lead to system changes. Secondly, we focus on the relationship between the land tax system and other systems in the process of continuous reconstruction and reshaping, showing the multiple dynamics of institutional change.

In the changing situation of the Anti-Japanese War, East China was in a complex state where frontal battlefields and battlefields behind enemy lines coexisted, and the Wang puppet regime, the Kuomintang regime, and the CCP's anti-Japanese base area regimes coexisted.

The great unification of the Yuan Dynasty ended China's nearly four hundred years of division, but achieving true integration in terms of culture and psychological identity is a more arduous historical task. The research approach of this book spans literature and history, and puts forward the concept of "Zhongzhou scholar-officials", revealing the initiative that the north once had in the development of Chinese culture after the Tang Dynasty, and basically clarifying the basic changes in the cultural lineage between the northern and southern Han Dynasty from the mid-Jin Dynasty to the mid-Yuan Dynasty. This clue analyzes the thinking, debate, exchange and integration of the northern and southern scholar elites around "literary" and "Tao", and reveals from one side how the Yuan Dynasty realized the transformation of the national identity of the scholar elites in more than half a century after completing political unification.

The formation and development of the "Silver Age" in Chinese history lasted for more than eight centuries. Each stage has attracted many discussions, especially the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The silvering of currency in the Ming Dynasty triggered the transformation of monetary institutions, forms, and systems. It not only shook and ended the dominant position of national coinage and laid the foundation for circulation in the following five centuries, but also changed the way fiscal operations were conducted and shaped an alternative relationship between the state and the market. This book adopts a comprehensive monetary history framework to analyze the historical foundation, institutional causes, development process, and pattern establishment of monetary silvering in the Ming Dynasty. It strives to reveal the changes in banknotes, money, and silver and the twists and turns of the "Silver Age" from a long-term perspective.

This book attempts to focus on Dongguan and explore the inner connection between the activities of compiling books and compiling history during the Eastern Han Dynasty and the cultural construction of the imperial country. As the core institution of the national cultural undertakings of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dongguan had a greater influence on later generations in three ways: first, the relevant school officials participated in the Baihu Temple Conference and wrote the "White Tiger Theory of Tongde", completing the theoretical construction of the official ideology of the imperial country; second, correcting the text of the scriptures and promulgating them to the world; third, gathering Confucian scholars to compile the history of the country. The text of scriptures and their interpretation, as well as the writing of the history of this dynasty, began to rise from individual behavior to the collective administrative operation of the country. This change weakened the personal authority of scribes and historians and helped to construct the legal "political system" of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Dongguan is actually an integrated platform for the country to deal with many aspects of knowledge, education, and ideological issues. The evolution of academics in the Eastern Han Dynasty is basically consistent with the process of cultural integration in imperial countries at that time.
