During the eight years of the Patriotic War, in addition to the martyrs on the bloody battlefield, Chinese agents also engaged in fierce battles with the Japanese and puppets behind enemy lines. Sassou, a historical scholar living in Japan, has lived in Japan for more than ten years and knows that this is an unbearably delicate nation. When this kind of meticulousness is combined with the cruelty and ferocity of fascism, you can imagine what kind of harm it will bring to China's anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, and it also determines how difficult and dangerous the actions of our agents behind enemy lines will be. This book is the little-known historical facts of Chinese anti-Japanese agents discovered and recorded by the author from Japanese historical materials and "the eyes of the enemy". It shows in vivid details the espionage behind enemy lines during the Anti-Japanese War, especially the whole process of more than a dozen classic operations to kill the Japanese and puppets. The book is divided into four parts: "Humans, Ghosts, Punishers, and Soldiers". It not only contains legends about Chinese agents, but also reveals the background of enemy agents, as well as inside information on the training of anti-alliance armed agents, military commanders, and agent equipment. It comprehensively and in-depth displays the history of China's anti-Japanese covert front espionage war from a unique perspective.

This book inherits the tradition of "biographical" history books, takes characters as the main body, time and dynasties as the axis, and narrates Chinese history in a concise and vivid writing style. Through this book, readers can not only see the changes of dynasties and the rise and fall of history, but also see each living "person": see how those in power become slaves of power, see the heroes who once fought bloody battles into old age, and see how talented men and beautiful women find their destination in the turmoil of the times... History is originally written by living individuals, with blood, flesh, and warmth. This book aims to lead readers to jointly experience the warmth of history and the destiny of mankind, and to understand Chinese history.

Sassou's writing style is smart and humorous, vividly presenting this heavy and exciting history to readers. The book also contains a large number of historical photos taken by Japan. Through mutual verification of Japanese historical materials and Chinese records, many precious historical deeds of Chinese soldiers and civilians resisting the enemy and defending the country have been reproduced or filled in. Most of the Japanese materials used by Sassou are veterans' memories, wartime reports, unpublished manuscripts and other materials that professional researchers have ignored or paid no attention to and are stored in Japanese archives, second-hand bookstores, and in private hands. Most of this information is the recollections of Japanese invaders of the military activities they participated in. Although their positions are different, they are highly authentic and have accurate details. However, the Chinese records are extremely lacking in data because they were mostly defensive battles and defeats. Especially the Japanese losses and battle details were either fabricated or missing. The Japanese data can enrich the records in this regard. Sassou's writing style is witty and lively, his emotions are sincere, and his research is rigorous. In each chapter, he reproduces the touching history of Chinese soldiers and civilians who died generously for national dignity, and Sassou's full feelings about his family and country are reflected everywhere. The book also contains a large number of historical photos taken by the Japanese during the Anti-Japanese War, with interactive graphics and text, adding more historical value.

The stormy waves hit the shore, the heroes of Song Dynasty, and the cries of cries on the Bianhe River have faded away. The small bridge flows over the water, King Kang crosses south, and the single and beautiful face of the West Lake gradually becomes blurred. The three great inventions that shine in the annals of history, the far-reaching Neo-Confucianism of Cheng and Zhu, and the graceful and bold poetry and rhyme constitute the carnival of the common people on Hongqiao. The dust continues, and the flying sword energy cuts through the charming dress under the window of Xiaoxuan; trying to force reforms, the passionate spirit cannot restore the decaying building. Wherever the iron hoof steps, the prosperity is gone, the clouds are dim, the loyal ministers are buried, the scrolls are covered, and the loyal heart shines.

They came from the desert, thirsty to drink mare's milk, and stayed in the dome hut. They are the descendants of Genghis Khan, and no one can stop the direction of the Great Khan's sword. He went south to the Central Plains, conquered foreign lands in the west, and the royal family invaded Eastern Europe. The gentle Han people became their subjects. With unruly eyes and lusty eyes, they crawled at their feet. The blocked ancient roads were suddenly opened, and businessmen and travelers gathered in the capital; devout monks came to help and built temples in all directions; there were even envoys from all over the world, sincere and respectful, dazzled by the gleaming prosperity. Everyone praised, "Oh my God!

The articles included in this book are divided into five parts. The first part is related to the "Era Division Theory"; the second part selects daily "customs"; the third part focuses on the dramatic changes in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, discussing issues of national consciousness and order; the fourth part is a legal history essay related to ownership and trial; the fifth part is a methodological article centered on the study of Chinese history in Japan. These articles may seem scattered, but from the perspective of the author's academic life, they are like branches and leaves growing on a tree trunk, with the same root and concern flowing through them: to understand the social phenomena of the Ming and Qing dynasties based on the thinking of people at that time, and to place the changes in these social phenomena from a broad perspective and grasp them from the perspective of comparative history.

The oriole in the leaves, the silent thatched cottage, the former lord and the old minister are missing. Wang Xie's house Yan, Qin Huai's restaurant, the waves swept away all the heroes. The old man has passed away, and the new man has returned. The barbarian cavalry galloped away, the foreign races raced, and the earth was divided, each one claiming the upper hand. Peace suddenly appears, chaos breaks out again, and pedestrians are left in despair. However, division does not mean only turmoil and darkness. His broad sleeves are graceful, he is broad-minded and proud, and his demeanor as a celebrity is envied by future generations. His Jian'an style, Yuefu folk songs, and articles created a new trend. The south is gradually wilting, the north wind is strong, and the turbulent tide of the times will eventually find its exit in history.

The ashes in the cave were scattered all over the sky, and the shadows cast by the firelight on the four walls were faintly visible. Interpreting the legend of Fuxi and Shennong seems to be able to imagine the hardships of the ancestors' survival. Xia Jie was unruly, so he made a mockery of the people and replaced him. "The mysterious bird of destiny descends and gives birth to Shang." Pan Geng moved to Yin, and the capital city that wandered around now has a fixed place. In the Yin and Shang dynasties, I brushed off the dust on the oracle bones, and the simple words with simple strokes have been with China for thousands of years. King Wen ruled Qi, and everything was harmonious. There are two out of three parts of the world, and it only takes a few hundred years. The Zhou Dynasty was restored, and saints appeared on behalf of the people. King Wen was restrained and performed the "Book of Changes", King Wu defeated Zhou, and "The Oath of Shepherd" has been passed down for a long time.

This book selects the two emperors Guangzong and Ningzong of the Song Dynasty, who were in the period of rule and decline in the Southern Song Dynasty, as the research subjects. It profoundly reveals the political and social problems in the middle period of the Southern Song Dynasty from the farce of inner Zen, the Qingyuan party ban, foreign wars, and the dictatorship of power ministers. It also analyzes the process and reasons of the involuntary decline of the Southern Song Dynasty in the Guang and Ning dynasties. This book believes that the reversal of the historical trend of the Southern Song Dynasty took shape in the Guang and Ning eras. The collapse of the imperial power of the Southern Song Dynasty and the dictatorship of power ministers began in this period. The paper money credit trend that broke out in the early years of Jiading marked that the social economy of the Southern Song Dynasty fell into a state of comprehensive imbalance. Dilemma, the defeat of the Kaixi Northern Expedition and the defeat of the Jiading Campaign foreshadowed the defeat of the Southern Song Dynasty in the upcoming Song-Mongolian War, and the precursor of the official academicization of Neo-Confucianism in the Jiading period reflected the urgency of the ruling class to seek help from new ruling ideas in the face of social crises.

"A Brief History of China" is divided into six chapters: introduction, ancient history, medieval history, modern history, modern history, and conclusion. It uses concise and smooth words to describe China's historical trends, institutional evolution, and cultural development from ancient times to the 1930s. In terms of form, it has changed from long sermons, and the articles are short and concise, easy to read and understand, and not boring at all; in terms of content, it is not only clear and organized, but also contains many novel and original insights. It can be said to be Lu Simian's popular general history of China.

"Up and Down Five Thousand Years" covers professional knowledge including history, geography, etc. The author describes China's historical development, institutional reform, and cultural inheritance and progress from ancient times to the 1930s through easy-to-understand words. It involves politics, institutions, economy, society, culture, ethnicity, religion and many other fields. It has novel ideas, profound insights and detailed content. It can be called an encyclopedia of Chinese history.

Lu Simian is a modern Chinese historian who has made contributions to the construction of the general history of China and also pioneered the writing of modern history. This book starts from the social characteristics of the early Qing Dynasty and continues to the end of the Anti-Japanese War. It covers all the events, characters, institutions and regulations in modern history in detail. It is a classic for readers to understand the modern history of China. I often recommend Mr. Lu Simian Chengzhi, Mr. Chen Yuan Yuan, Mr. Chen Yinke and Mr. Qian Mubin as the four predecessors of history who have broad theoretical fields, rich narratives, and can write deeply.

What is good historical writing? How does good historical writing achieve Wenjing?

"The Twilight of the Southern Song Dynasty: The Era of Song Guangzong and Song Ningzong (Updated Edition)" selects the two emperors of Song Guangzong and Song Ningzong who transitioned from rule to decline in the Southern Song Dynasty as the research subjects. It profoundly reveals the political and social issues in the middle period of the Southern Song Dynasty from the farce of inner Zen, the Qingyuan party ban, foreign wars, and the dictatorship of power ministers. It also analyzes the process and reasons why the Southern Song Dynasty in the Guang and Ning dynasties involuntarily declined. In the book "Water Margin in Search of the Song Dynasty", Professor Yu Yunguo takes a different approach, relying on his decades of research results on Song history to interpret "Water Margin" in a comprehensive and comprehensive way. In the "Reading Chapter" at the beginning of the book, Professor Yu summarizes various reading methods of "Water Margin", giving people enlightenment from multiple perspectives. He also examines and points out a number of historical and geographical errors in "Water Margin", which is eye-catching and also allows people to objectively understand the writing process of "Water Margin" from one aspect.

This book studies how doctors, religious figures, court officials and lay scholar-bureaucrats used poisonous drugs to treat stubborn diseases and strengthen the body during the formative period of Chinese medicine from the 3rd to 9th centuries. By focusing on how the concept of "poison" in Chinese led healers to adopt various methods to transform dangerous poisons into panaceas, the author clearly reveals the important position of poisons in traditional Chinese medicine and medieval society. This book tells the story of medical disputes and political events involving poisons from the late Han Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty, demonstrating that "poison" was crucial to how people perceived their bodies and body politics at that time. The author also examines the vast array of toxic minerals, plants, and animal products in classical Chinese medicine, including the highly toxic "King of Medicines" Aconite and the once-popular Five Stone Powder, showing how powerful medicines work on the body and how this effect shaped knowledge about medicines and the diseases they treated. The book also explores ancient Chinese understandings of health and how the body interacted with toxic drugs, reminding us to pay attention to the materiality of drug flows, whose true meaning and utility are not reducible to a fixed core, but vary depending on specific technological interventions, sociopolitical conditions, and individual bodily experiences.

"History of the Qin and Han Dynasties" is the second work of Mr. Lu Simian's Chinese chronological history series. It was published by Shanghai Kaiming Bookstore in 1947. In 1983, it was edited by Mr. Yang Kuan and Lu Yiren and published by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House as one of the "Historical Treatises of Lu Simian". For the "History of Qin and Han" published this time, we have re-edited it based on the first edition of Kaiming Bookstore. In order to facilitate readers' reading, we have changed the original traditional Chinese from vertical to horizontal simplified, and changed the two-line annotations in the original book into single-line italic annotations. Other than the obvious errors and irregular usages, no other changes have been made. The author's notes in the original book are excerpts made by the author for research. The text is very brief and marked with corresponding page numbers. It is now attached to the text with under-page notes for readers' reference.

This book is an investigation of the balance between macro and micro power in traditional Chinese society. Taking the Zhenzong Dynasty of the Northern Song Dynasty as a cross-section, it completes an overall observation of the issue of imperial power in Chinese history. The five prime ministers of the Zhenzong Dynasty described in the book almost cover the basic types of prime ministers in ancient China. The institutional foundation and power structure laid by the Zhenzong Dynasty profoundly affected the political trend of subsequent Chinese history. The spiritual genes formed by the politics of scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty still influence Chinese intellectuals today. The text of this book is popular and elegant, the argument is rigorous, the information is informative, and the descriptions are vivid. It discusses the relationship between monarch and ministers in detail, analyzes the battle of wits in the power arena brilliantly, and provides a comprehensive overview of the imperial power issues in Chinese history. With the improvement of the administrative system, the imperial power gradually moved toward symbolization. This trend was unprecedented. It was evaluated by Japanese scholars as subverting the "monarchy and dictatorship theory" popular in academic circles. It is a rare historical work that can be appreciated by both refined and popular people.

Let you understand China's opening up and failure in the three hundred years from the late Ming Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty. China has also had the opportunity to learn from the West and open up to the world. Whether it is technology, business, capital or institutions, China has had the urge to learn. China has opened up to the outside world more than once in its history, but if lessons are not learned, any opening up to the outside world will eventually return to the original point of closure after drawing a circle. The content described in this book is not to praise the greatness of ancient dynasties, but to explore China's objective gains and losses in the more than three hundred years from the geographical discovery to the outbreak of the Opium War. Let people understand that China is not inherently closed. It had a large-scale opening up hundreds of years ago and introduced all the most advanced Western technology and knowledge at that time. However, due to the nature of the feudal centralized regime, Chinese society forgot everything it had learned and returned to a traditional closed society.

Where did the population boom of the Song Dynasty come from? Where did the huge wealth of the imperial court go? Clarify the prosperous logic of the golden age and show the real life of people in the Song Dynasty. Historical writer Chen Xubin's new work re-examines the face and dignity of the Song Dynasty. This book is divided into three parts. The first part analyzes the reasons for the increase in the total amount of social wealth in the Song Dynasty; the second part describes the methods used by the Song Dynasty government in different periods and how the people moved around to survive; the third part explains the reasons why the increased wealth in the two Song Dynasties failed to be converted into reproductive capital. Chen Xubin's writing breaks the top-down orthodox historical view of most current Song history books, focusing on the lower-class groups who have no voice in history, presenting their real and cruel living conditions, revealing the "prosperous" nature of the two Song Dynasties, which "90 million poor and weak people supported 10 million food tax groups", subverting the image of the so-called golden age of classical China, and it is of great enlightenment for a comprehensive understanding of the dynastic system of the two Song Dynasties.

When the Tang Dynasty declined and perished, many national governments that had originally submitted to Tian Khan began to expand their ambitions. The Central Plains regime in the Han Dynasty was divided into the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Although partial unification was achieved through the Song Dynasty, it was difficult to restore the political territory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Outside of the Central Plains, the political powers in the grasslands, Western Regions, and Liaodong regions each competed for dominance, and even reversed their efforts to grant titles to the monarchs of the Central Plains. This environment continued until the Mongols settled in the Central Plains, re-conquered the four directions, and established a large empire centered on the Han Dynasty. The book is divided into eight chapters. Starting from the origin of the Mongolian people, it briefly introduces the political environment of the world at that time and the development and growth of the Mongolian people. It focuses on the creation, development and stability of the Mongol Empire of Genghis Khan and his descendants and the Yuan Empire of Kublai Khan.

This book explains in detail eighteen historical relics of the Southern Song Dynasty, and combines the author's experience of visiting historical relics, the current status of the historical relics, and the historical events that occurred here. It introduces readers to the history of the Southern Song Dynasty that is different from the history books through four major themes: "Wars between the Song and Jin Dynasties", "Wars within the Southern Song Dynasty", "Power struggles between Neo-Confucianists and powerful ministers" and "Destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty".

In the past two thousand years, China has experienced long periods of unification and centuries of continuous division. The two hundred years of unification and prosperity of the Sui and Tang Dynasties occurred after the long-term division of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. In the era of division, there were many heroes who wanted to regain Jin Mau. Why did the final success fall on the slightly less coquettish Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty? People in the Sui and Tang Dynasties invented the world's earliest kaleidoscope, and the civilization of the Sui and Tang Dynasties was as colorful as a kaleidoscope, reaching the pinnacle of Chinese history. The Sui and Tang Dynasties were an era of unity and openness, as well as a romantic and legendary era. The culture of the Sui and Tang Dynasties inherited the essence of China and embraced all rivers. However, behind the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, there was a crisis hidden after all. After reaching the peak, it would naturally go downhill...

How did the four great dynasties of Han, Tang, Song and Ming gradually decline and even perish? The NTU professor's masterpiece of popular history, The Twilight of the Empire! "The Defeat of the Party" The Han Dynasty was one of the longest-lived dynasties in the history of our country. However, the stubborn diseases of the dynasty such as the dictatorship of foreign relatives, eunuchs and the rise of clans jointly destroyed this powerful empire. "Sunset of the Ninth Century" The Tang Empire survived for another 144 years after experiencing the "Anshi Rebellion". But after the chaos, it declined rapidly. The Tang Empire, which was truly disintegrated from within, directly affected the political system of later generations. "Party Struggle between the Two Song Dynasties" depicts the helpless, incompetent and idle mentality of the Song people from the last days of the Song Dynasty, and explores the internal causes of the decline of the Song Dynasty. "The Dynasty of Chongzhen" Compared with his ancestors, Chongzhen can be regarded as a conscientious and wise king. But why did the relationship between monarch and ministers get worse and worse during the Chongzhen dynasty, leading to a breakdown? Let's take a look at the brutal tug-of-war between the emperors of the Ming Empire and the civil servant group.

How did China become China? Is its identity based on blood, national boundaries, or culture? Swords and swords divide borders, but food and clothing circulate with each other; Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are mixed; nationalities merge... How do these originally scattered and complex cultures gradually converge and shape a country called "China/Huaxia"? In the future, can this community still attract the descendants of the original members and continue to be recognized as belonging physically and mentally? The famous historian Xu Zhuoyun talks from the Neolithic Age to the eve of the end of the Qing Dynasty, describing how the complex community of "Huaxia/China" continues to evolve. The book does not lay out details or cumbersome arguments. It adopts a broad historical perspective and selects the key points in politics, economy, society, and culture of each era to outline the appearance of each era. In the era of globalization, if you can examine your own ethnic identity principles, you will not be easily hijacked by the arrogance of intolerant ethnic groups and lose your way.

This book contains thirteen important articles on the history of the late Ming Dynasty written by the famous historian Professor Fan Shuzhi in the past ten years.

"Everything in the world is in short supply" is selected from "Congratulations to the Bridegroom: Feelings During the Illness" written by Wumeicun in the Qing Dynasty. It best represents the emotional state of mind of the elderly scholar Professor Fan who has been studying the history of the late Ming Dynasty for decades.

This is an introductory book on Chinese politics, history and culture. Mr. Lu Simian is a modern Chinese historian and master of Chinese studies. He, Chen Yinke, Qian Mu, and Chen Yuan are also known as the "Four Great Historians". He carefully wrote a general history of China in the 1930s, telling the changes in political history in historical order. It is an excellent introductory book that allows you to quickly understand the history of China. The style is quite special and is obviously different from the teacher's other general history works.

This book is a general history book specially written for college students by the famous historian Lu Simian. Regarding this book, the author once said: "I hope that people who read it will have a little knowledge of important cultural phenomena in Chinese history, so they know the reasons for the current situation, can make predictions about the future, and thus can provide some inspiration for our actions." The whole book is divided into two parts, the upper part is "Chinese Cultural History", and the lower part is "Chinese Social History". This book was aimed at the learning needs of liberal arts students at Shanghai University at that time and did not adopt the general history style. The book is divided into two volumes. The first volume systematically describes the development of social and economic systems, political systems, and cultural academics in categories.

I was furious when I saw it. Why did such a powerful Song Dynasty humiliate itself and sue for peace for three hundred years? This is a vernacular history of the Song Dynasty, which completely describes the history of more than 300 years from the founding of the country by Zhao Kuangyin during the Five Dynasties period to the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty. Focusing on the eighteen emperors of the Song Dynasty, it shows a series of events such as internal fighting in the palace and foreign conquests in the Song Dynasty; it describes in detail the power struggle among the emperors, relatives, and powerful ministers, the policies of the Song Dynasty in the past dynasties, and the details of the wars with Xia, Liao, and Jin. The whole book covers the rise, fall, changes and historical mysteries of the Song Dynasty over three hundred years, and vividly shows the romantic figures of the Song Dynasty.

The power struggle is only superficial, and system change is the key to deciphering the direction of history! Underneath the stories of emperors and generals, there are hidden the creation, changes, practice and collapse of countless systems. These systems are the carrier of the wisdom of the Chinese nation and guide the direction of Chinese history. The system has been implemented in all aspects of Chinese history, and even the seemingly unfettered knights and refugees cannot completely escape the constraints of the system. Whether it is Liangshan Heroes or the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they are all imitations of the existing system. Only by understanding the system can we understand the operating logic of Chinese history.
