After "The Geography of Van Loon" was published in the United States, it was welcomed by the society. It sold 138,000 copies in just a few months and made Van Loon famous all over the world. This is a book that provides rich historical and geographical knowledge. It is not only interesting to read, but also thought-provoking. Even if you are not a historian or a person with a strong sense of history, you can't help but lament that the big stage of history is so magnificent. As the stars change, so many famous people have been swept away. Looking back on the past, you are stunned by the rapid development of human society. "History is the fourth dimension of geography, which gives geography time and meaning." This is reflected in this work, which is the history of human existence with history as the longitude and geography as the latitude. It does not just tell readers how high the mountains are, how long the water is, which country is vast and has many people, which country is big but has few people, where the scenery is picturesque, and where it is filled with wind and sand. Instead, it uses human activities as the main line to explain the relationship between human beings and the earth, how the earth provides a carrier for human activities, and how human activities affect the earth. In this book, Fang Long talks about people first, then the natural environment and living conditions of human beings, and finally other aspects of human living space. Van Loon calls on humans to jointly take responsibility for the well-being of the world we live in, and at the same time warns humans about the importance of protecting the natural environment. Van Loon frankly expressed his views on major historical events and historical development trends. This is the characteristic of "Fang Loon Geography".

Ancient bricks are very important building materials in the history of human society. They have a long history and were used by both ancient Eastern and Western civilizations. China began to produce ceramic bricks in the pre-Qin era. By the Qin and Han Empires, the categories of ceramic bricks were extremely rich. Due to practical needs or technical requirements, text bricks, pattern bricks, decorative bricks, etc. Became the best products among the unearthed ceramic bricks. These fine ceramic tiles can be regarded as unique carriers of the development of social civilization at that time. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the ceramic brick manufacturing industry has become increasingly developed. These special cultural relics provide first-hand information for studying the age and nature of cultural heritage, and have become important objects of research in archaeology, cultural relics, art history and other disciplines. Since the Song Dynasty, the study of epigraphy has become popular, and people have begun to pay attention to the historical and artistic value of text patterns on brick surfaces. By the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, more literati and scholars paid attention to ceramic brick inscriptions and brick paintings.

National Social Science Fund project results. During the Song and Song Dynasties, imperial examinations, classics, and ancient Chinese literature formed relatively independent knowledge discourse systems, showing a situation of forming their own barriers, but also interpenetrating and intertwining with each other. In this pattern, influenced by the ethos of the academic field and the widely popular anthologies of contemporary texts, the trend of classical thought changed. With the gradual unfolding of the Taoist movement, Taoist discourse began to occupy a mainstream position in the knowledge system of the two Song Dynasties. This was prominently reflected in the emphasis on the "On" style and the use of punctuation and addition of comments. At the same time, ancient prose began to take shape as a specialized study, and the ancient prose discourse had an obvious tendency to move closer to and combine with Taoist discourse. The detailed analysis in this book reveals the correlation and role of these three in the Song Dynasty.

This book describes the American public's image of China in the first half of the 20th century and its causes. The author believes that the image of China in the United States during this period was based on missionary passion, misled by the Luce media, strengthened by Pearl Buck's novels, and climaxed by Soong Meiling. However, this illusion of China had a positive effect on China at the time. It prompted the Roosevelt administration to adopt policies to sanction Japan and help China, and eventually repealed the racially discriminatory Chinese Exclusion Act.

"Zuo Zhuan" is an important classic of Chinese history and literature. By interpreting the text of "Zuo Zhuan", this book attempts to grasp the principles and models for interpreting past events contained in it.

Through a careful appreciation of the splendid Chinese garden poetry, the author ingeniously examines the development of the private sphere in the literary tradition from the Middle Tang to the Northern Song. The literati and officials of the Tang and Song Dynasties found that the traditional moral, political and aesthetic value orientations were insufficient or out of date, so they have been working hard to find ways to adapt and reconcile them. However. Whether it is an urban private garden constructed as a paradise, or a variety of fun things (such as strange stones, rare birds, and famous paintings) drawn from all over the garden, once faced with various value standards in the public domain, this exquisite and elegant private space begins to be squeezed and deformed. This is a wonderful world, but also a fragile world. The author interprets the garden poetry of the Tang and Song Dynasties. It opens up an aesthetic space where we can live and travel, and also reveals its little-known side.

Although Charles Darwin never visited China, his ideas have already landed in China with his powerful theories of evolution. The theory of evolution was one of the first important Western theories to have an impact on the Chinese people. Moreover, from 1895 to 1921, until Marxism gained a real foothold, it was the dominant Western "ism" and it profoundly affected the political thought and philosophy of life of the Chinese people. Although Darwin's authoritative theory has been distorted from time to time, it has indeed influenced the actual actions of China's reformers and revolutionaries, and paved the way for China's Marxism and Mao Zedong Thought. Pu Jiamin's book digs deeply into important publications from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, focusing on how Darwin and his theories were involved in China's changes and revolutions; moreover, the author re-evaluates the "correct reading" and "misreading" of Darwin's thought by modern Chinese intellectuals from the perspective of intellectual history.

In 1127, the Jin army captured Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty, and plundered the two emperors of Huiqin and more than 3,000 clan members. Huizong's son Zhao Gou reestablished the Song Dynasty in Hangzhou. After his death, the throne returned to the hands of Kuangyin's descendants. The clans living in the south continued to receive privileges and care from the government, but they gained the freedom to be elected and serve as officials, and gradually integrated into the scholar-bureaucrat class, with the best among them even reaching the rank of prime minister. In 1279, the Song Dynasty fell, and the history of the descendants of the three Zhao brothers as a clan came to an end, and the history of the clan opened a new page. There is no closer and more direct connection between family and country than the clan. What this book dedicates to readers is a long historical scroll full of legends and changes in the Song Dynasty clan, which contains eloquent narratives of historical facts and profound institutional review.

The question this book aims to answer and solve is: How are the legal provisions of the imperial court and the ritual habits and desires of the people intertwined to guide the conscious process of regional construction of "South China" that lasted for hundreds of years? This book shows that the historical dynasties were committed to the political integration of South China and to cultivate good people who respected the government, paid taxes, and kept their own integrity. This language has two mutually invented keywords: "emperor" and "clan". They permeate all etiquette, identity, status, property rights, business habits, social mobility, and community building. The orthodox ties between South China and the center of the dynasty were not only established on Lijia and Sacrifice, but also on the language of "religion."

In this first academic book focusing on the culture of desire in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the author believes that only by comprehensively exploring the various new concepts about desire in that period can we make an in-depth discussion of the novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties as a special narrative style. "Phoenix Library·Overseas China Studies Series: Desire and Fictional Narrative in Late Imperial China" closely links the maturation and development of this important genre with the increasingly complex discourse on desire in that period. The first three chapters of the book are an outline of the background history and theory of desire as a socio-cultural phenomenon. The last seven chapters are a close reading of a series of specific works of Ming and Qing novels, trying to depict the extremely complex development trajectory from "desire" to "emotion" in Ming and Qing novels.

The Great Depression of the 1930s was a global event that profoundly affected China's modern history. Since all countries at that time had moved away from the silver standard, the world's monetary system was dominated by the gold standard, and China was almost the only country in the world that still adopted the silver standard. Therefore, when the price of silver as a commodity in other countries in the world fluctuated, it would have a direct impact on China's financial and economic production. This book specifically demonstrates this transmission effect through the performance of the cotton spinning and silk reeling industries in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River during the Great Depression. When it finally could no longer withstand this impact, the Nationalist government had to actively carry out currency reform and abolish the silver standard. This currency reform led by the government has faced the challenges of complex international relations and severe domestic economic conditions from the beginning. Although the fiat currency reform to get rid of the silver standard was initially successful, foreign exchange reserves were still insufficient and fiscal and financial control was ineffective, which paved the way for greater chaos in the Chinese economy later.

By analyzing the supply and demand of silver in the world in the first half of the 19th century, that is, during the Jia, Dao, and Xian dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, this paper analyzes how China's currency system, which used both money and money, was involved in the world economy, thus causing China to be organically eroded by the world. The author analyzes the role of opium and silver in the balance of payments from the clues of international trade; analyzes the social disorder caused by the currency system and the social unrest within China caused by insufficient government tax revenue from the use of silver and currency; discusses the ideological debates caused by economic phenomena from the perspective of intellectual history, and analyzes the views of the main schools of economic thought during this period and its comparison with Western thought of the same period. Finally, the author extends the ideological debate caused by economic development to the discussion of world outlook and system, and analyzes the relationship between China and the world in the 19th century from the different levels of external, internal, and internal and external integration. This kind of research that integrates multiple disciplines and perspectives is rare.

This book takes the Tibetan culture, the Chinese regional and national culture rooted in the fertile soil of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, as the main object, and uses the Tubo Silk Road, which communicated exchanges and exchanges among ancient civilizations, as the basic clue.

It is hoped that readers can gain knowledge, wisdom and enlightenment from it.

During the war and turmoil between the two Song Dynasties, politics took precedence over economy and culture, and autocratic imperial power expanded into dictatorship. Some intellectuals who tended to be conservative turned to Confucianism and regarded moral reconstruction as the way to save the nation. This conservative thought was finally established as national orthodoxy. This was the "Neo-Confucianism" that influenced later generations of China for nearly a thousand years. However, for the development of thought and culture, this was a Pyrrhic victory. Chinese intellectuals and the ideas they created, which were once unbridled, brilliant, and full of extroverted vitality in the 11th century, became inward, conservative, closed, and introspective under the influence of orthodoxy, and lost the power to innovate.
