The name of Baitai originated from the Han Dynasty. There were many cypress trees planted in the Censor's Mansion, but the imperial court banned the provinces, which were collectively called Tai Pavilion, so the Censor's Mansion was also called Bai Tai. In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial censor's station of the previous dynasty was renamed the Ducha Yuan, which was parallel to the six ministries and was collectively known as the "Seven Ministers". The Supervisory Censor under the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Sections under the Six Ministries are collectively called "Taiyuan", and they are both officials responsible for supervision and admonishment. The supervisory system of the Qing Dynasty followed that of the Ming Dynasty, but with some changes. The six subjects were included in the procuratorate, and the imperial censors were divided into regions for supervision. The two were collectively called "kedao".

Chinese history, from the time of Xia Yu to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, has gone through several revolutions and surname changes, and it cannot be separated from the scope of one emperor.

The people suffered so much that they took desperate risks and gathered together to cause chaos. Therefore, through the generations, there will always be rises and falls. There is no banquet in the world that never goes away, and there is no imperial family that never goes away.

Beijing is a city with a long history. Especially at the time of farewell to the imperial system and the establishment of folk gardens, historical relics carrying the consciousness of ancient civilization can be seen everywhere. As for how to treat, process and place these "history and memories" so that they can be continuously integrated into the modern life of "modern" China, relevant discussions and disputes ran through the entire Republic of China and even the early founding of the Republic. In the interaction of "writing" on a large number of classics, poetry, architecture, urban planning, nation-state and other issues, the author faced various forms of materials, analyzed them piece by piece, and peeled off cocoons. He not only structurally presented the gradually disappearing atmosphere of the ancient capital Beijing, but also made an attempt to advance the theory of modernity. It is an example of localized thinking on "history and memory."

This book contains more than 30 literary and historical essays written by the author in recent years, which are based on history and culture and integrated into contemporary life. Now it has been sorted and re-edited, and illustrated with pictures.

Chinese people attach great importance to diversity and harmony in their daily lives in terms of diet, medicine, and housing. They seek uniformity but avoid deviation, and strive for neutrality but not excess. Various concepts can still be seen in the thoughts and behaviors of Chinese people. The beautiful and noble spirit and true humanity of generations of Chinese people are mostly not found in the Four Books, Five Classics and Twenty-Four Histories, but in the streets and alleys, in the mountains and countryside, where they talk on the street and talk about mulberry and hemp... From the creation of the world to the heroes of the world, from the affairs of men and women to the phenomenon of monsters, they cover a wide range and represent the likes, dislikes, praises and criticisms of ordinary Chinese people. Their view of history is a set of evaluation systems that connect these stories together.
