Liu Houbin Li Xiaoju

257K02

"Zi Zhi Tong Jian" is a highly representative masterpiece of traditional Chinese history and an important resource for people from all walks of life to understand Chinese traditional culture and absorb historical wisdom. Hu Sansheng said: "If you are a ruler and do not know "Tongjian", you will want to govern but do not know the source of self-government, and you will cause chaos but do not know the art of preventing chaos. If you are a minister and do not know "Tongjian", then you will not be able to serve the emperor and your subordinates will be unable to govern the people. If you are a son and do not know "Tongjian", you will end up humiliating the first and not being able to follow behind. It is like using troops to conduct divisions, creating laws and establishing systems, and not knowing the reason why the ancients got it, Jian. The reason why the ancients failed was because they sought victory but lost, and sought profit and harm. This is inevitable. "This book takes the major themes of ancient Chinese governance as the main line, organizes selected articles in units, selects and compiles the narration of several major historical events in "Zizhi Tongjian", and provides detailed annotations and explanations. While highlighting Sima Guang's master's work, it also pays attention to the popularization of historical knowledge and the exploration of political wisdom.

"Virtual History" uses novel counterfactual assumptions to delve into the human process for the first time, leading readers to rethink historical determinism. "Virtual History" uses rigorous logic to deduce a series of turning events that mainly occurred in the 20th century. It imagines another possibility of these events and guides readers to explore: what would history be like if major events had changed. What would have happened if the American Revolution had not happened? What would have happened if the socialist camp had not collapsed? Some historical events are not inevitable. Many accidental factors such as subjective errors or limitations of the parties involved and objective conditions play an important role. The author has conceived a complete set of plots about history that has never happened in a thorough, clear and easy-to-understand way.
