This book is a selected collection of Mr. Chengzhi's writings on modern Chinese history, including six parts: Lecture Notes on Modern Chinese History, Prehistory of Modern China, Overview of Chinese History in the Past Hundred Years, Supplement to the History of China in the Past Hundred Years, Supplement to the Cultural History of Modern China, and the Russo-Japanese War. Among them, only "The Russo-Japanese War" was published in a single volume by the Commercial Press in 1928. Although the six parts of the book were written in different periods, with overlaps, continuations, and ruptures, each part is an indispensable part of the overall history of modern China. What is particularly worth mentioning is that Mr. Seiyuki's purpose in writing these modern history works was to speak out and arouse everyone's spirit to further resist aggression. Mr. Wang's optimism and confidence in the destiny of the Chinese nation overflows from every line in the book, and his pure heart is particularly touching.

This book follows such a thinking path, returning to the historical scene, reorganizing the historical context, rethinking historical events, recreating historical events, and showing people a panoramic picture of the warlords' melee. However, the author's purpose in sorting out the warlords' melee and "throwing bricks" is not just to show the world a flesh-and-blood Yuan Shikai or Duan Qirui, but also to "attract jade". He wants people to see the consequences of blindly introducing Western systems and whether Western systems are suitable for China's national conditions, so as to arouse readers' scientific analysis and rational thinking about historical events.

Zhang Taiyan deserves a great biography and those sufferings. These sufferings have become more pure in his writings and have never been lost: from "Book of Dissatisfaction" and "Explanation of the Republic of China" to "The Theory of Evolution", "Five No Matters" and "The Theory of Four Confusions", and then integrated into "The Theory of Equality of Things", Lu Xun's common people and peasant pride, and in "The Theory of Breaking Evil Voices", "The True Story of Ah Q" and "The Lonely", they joined forces to defeat time. As his name suggests, Zhang Taiyan has a pair of fiery eyes, with a knight-errant temperament. How do these fiery eyes observe China's legal reforms? Zhang Taiyan is an enigmatic revolutionary with good knowledge and a foundation in Buddhism. He writes about Buddhist compassion in Taoist style. What kind of style is this? Zhang Taiyan is infatuated with the old culture, like a rich man in trouble who sees others enjoying themselves in his old house through the window lattice, always with a deep sense of dignity. How do you view this sense of dignity that is common among Chinese intellectuals?

As far as today's reality is concerned, China is a country, a civilization and a history at the same time. However, China as a country, China as a civilization, and China as a history do not happen at the same time, but are gradually formed. China exists in such a huge space and time, involving all issues in all aspects, so the philosopher Zhao Tingyang tried to construct an interdisciplinary "comprehensive text" research method to understand China. In the book "Benefiting China", the author proposed the "vortex model", explaining China's growth method as a vortex with strong centripetal force. The centripetal movement of this vortex continues to bring together various cultures around the Central Plains into one, and the vortex itself becomes larger and stronger as a result, forming a huge space-time.

History is so unbearable that it was heavily recommended by Xinhua Bibliographic News on May 5, 2014. It selects those extraordinary, shocking, and bizarre cases in Chinese and foreign court cases, restores the course of the case, and strives to reveal the truth of the case based on the limited historical data available. Due to limited reference materials, in order to prevent subjective assumptions, this book will present other opinions one by one after the case.

Depending on the circumstances, pictures and links can be attached to the text or after the text.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, both heroes and villains had special skills in turning history into jokes. Just to win a smile from his beloved concubine, King You of Zhou lit a fire at the beacon tower to trick the princes into coming to rescue him? However, if you don't seek death, you won't die. The main palace Shenhou, who was driven away by King You, moved reinforcements from her parents' home to deal with the scumbag and the mistress. This time the wolf is really here, no one will believe it if he calls again... Thus, the chaotic times of the Spring and Autumn Period in which the nations competed for hegemony began. The unlucky Duke Zhuang of Zheng suffered a "difficult childbirth", the founder of the brothel Guan Zhong, Princess Wenjiang who fell in love with her brother, the bereaved dog Chong'er, the "King of Chu Costume" who pretended to be his grandson for nine years to dominate the world... All the weird people and weird things in the Spring and Autumn Period, these top figures decided history!

The mountains and rivers made of copper in the Yin and Shang Dynasties were vulnerable to a single blow, and the towering towers collapsed at the drop of a hat. The victory of the Zhou people came too quickly. However, can the new political power be maintained? The calm Zhou people stole the sky and changed the sun, becoming "sons of heaven", enfeoffing various princes, and successfully "dominated the world". The Duke of Zhou maintained order with etiquette, governed the country with virtue, and stabilized the world with the four major systems.

This book will help you understand the adolescence of our nation - the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Go and see those assassins who committed suicide, the beauties who pursued true love, the warriors who never looked back, the loyal ministers, the envoys who turned the tide, and the humane ghosts and gods. The assassins chose to kill themselves for the sake of the saying: A man dies for his confidant, and a woman dies for her favor. Among them was Nie Zheng, an assassin who was even more tragic than Jing Ke. He came out because he was grateful for Yan Zhongzi's favor and appreciation. After the deed was accomplished, he brutally cut off his face, gouged out his own eyes, and finally even disemboweled and removed his intestines, just to cut off clues, hide his identity, and not harm his employer and relatives. As an "assassin", his "work" was really good.

Liu Yuan was clearly the emperor of the Huns, but he designated the country as Han, regarded Liu Bang and Liu Bei as his ancestors, and chose to "list on the backdoor." Shi Le was just a slave who was sold, but he was crowned king and emperor and successfully achieved a "counterattack". Fu Jian unified the north and was full of ambitions. In the battle of Feishui, the wind and cranes roared, and the grass and trees were all soldiers. The primitive and barbaric Xianbei Tuoba tribe, with shaved heads and braids, quietly emerged in the north, and the myth that "Hu did not have a century-old national destiny" was broken. Tuoba changed his surname to Yuan, Dugu changed his surname to Liu, and Bu Liugu changed his surname to Lu... He didn't speak Xianbei but spoke Chinese, and he didn't wear Xianbei clothes but Hanfu.

Shang Yang's reforms led to the rise of Qin in anger. Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms and united the world, establishing a unified country with an autocratic monarchy. He is diligent. I went to rest after reading the One Hundred and Twenty Jin Bamboo Briefs every day. He is cautious. No one is allowed to carry weapons in the palace, so when Jing Ke came to assassinate him, everyone could only stare. He was suspicious. They change their residence every day, and anyone who exposes their whereabouts will be punished by death. He is cruel. The criticism of Li Si spread outside the palace, and because they could not find out who had leaked the secret, everyone present was killed. With such fortifications in place, it's time to secure our position, right? However, Qin's harsh rule personally sent him to the guillotine, and the great ship of Qin sank in just fifteen years. When Chu and Han fought, Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor and followed the Qin Dynasty system. The Qin Dynasty was not dead after all. The "imperial system" pioneered by Qin Shihuang dominated Chinese history for 2,132 years. .

The Han Dynasty collapsed and wars continued; heroes competed with each other, and the world was divided into three parts. What is the true nature of this period of history, which has become a household name due to the brilliant writing of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? What is the profound meaning and governing force behind it? Why are there "third parties involved" in the history of the unified Chinese empire?

Is human nature good or evil? Does the king want mercy or the rule of law? Can social justice be achieved? Confucius said: Can this world be saved? In the end, there was no one to inherit my legacy! Zhuangzi said: The emperor's sword or the common man's sword? Can the world be saved? If you don't save, you can save! Mozi said: Justice and fairness are the most important. To do righteousness, no matter whether you live or die. Han Fei said: Human nature is evil, don't expect moral education, people are unreliable. A great debate that has lasted for three hundred years has no answer, but it has affected this nation for two thousand years.

Love beauty, talk freely, drink alcohol, take drugs, and be feminine in men. What kind of demeanor is this? Beautiful yet ugly, noble yet greedy, chic yet snobbish, elegant yet vulgar, true yet hypocritical, what kind of era is this? The country changes hands, the Central Plains competes with each other, the clothes and clothes move south, and the Five Barbarians enter China. What kind of change is this?

Alexander, who came out of Macedonia, led Rome to fight Persia, conquer Egypt, and invade India. However, Macedonia, which was promoted to an empire, fell apart behind Alexander. The "Age of Kings" established the People's Assembly and the Senate system, but freedom and law eventually replaced the king. The republic lasted for five hundred years, but collapsed after the assassination of Caesar. The person who inherited Caesar's will was Octavian, who came from a poor family, and he finally achieved "peace under Rome." After that, the Roman Empire continued to be in turmoil, and the five wise kings were unable to turn the tide. Like Rome, the Han Dynasty also grew up on its own and had no faith. After Wang Mang's reforms and restructuring, both farmers and businesses suffered losses, and public resentment boiled over. From this, the Western Han Dynasty transitioned to the Eastern Han Dynasty. Scholar Yi Zhongtian subverts the traditional writing method of historical works.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Han Empire, everything was in ruins. Empress Lu's power was in the hands of both the government and the public, and her relatives started to stir up trouble, leading to chaos among the Lu emperors. The two emperors Wen and Jing recuperated the country, did little corvee and paid little tax, and resumed production. Everything has been prepared, just waiting for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to take the stage. He was determined to forge ahead and made the Han Dynasty's politics, economy, and military become unprecedentedly powerful. Politically, he strengthened the imperial power, implemented favor orders, and weakened the princes and kings; culturally, he adopted Dong Zhongshu's suggestion, deposed hundreds of schools of thought, and only respected Confucianism, making it the mainstream thought for two thousand years; militarily, he defeated the old enemy of the Huns, making the Han Empire the leading military power at that time; economically, he listened to Sang Hongyang's suggestion, and established the Yantieguan camp, which greatly enriched the national treasury. Under his management, the Han Empire was proud of the East. Scholar Yi Zhongtian subverts the traditional writing method of historical works.

Why did the Anshi Rebellion break out? How did women, eunuchs, party members, barbarians, warriors, and businessmen bring down the powerful Tang Empire? To answer these questions and understand that period of history, please read "Yi Zhongtian History of China Volume 16: The An-Shi Rebellion". After ending the chaos during the Tang Zhongzong and Tang Ruizong periods, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji took power. The young emperor worked hard to govern, appointing Yao Chong and Song Jing as prime ministers, Yu Wenrong to manage finances, and Zhang Shuo to assist in government. Nearly a hundred years after the founding of the country, the Tang Empire ushered in its heyday, known in history as the "Kaiyuan Age." Such a prosperous age made the aging Tang Xuanzong very proud. He was addicted to "The Song of Colorful Clothes and Feather Clothes", obsessed with the world of two people with Yang Guifei, and appointed treacherous ministers. In the past, Li Linfu was in power, and later Yang Guozhong was in power. An Lushan, who was born as a barbarian in the border area, was accumulating strength little by little. Finally, in December 755 AD, An Lushan raised troops against Fan Yang. The Tang Dynasty, which had been in peace for a long time, was vulnerable to a blow. The road to suppressing the rebellion was long and arduous. After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was barely supported by eunuchs, internal strife among courtiers, separatist vassal towns, and barbarians. However, the peasant uprising army led by Huang Chao kicked the dynasty back again. In 907 AD, the Tang Dynasty perished.

Since the Opium War in 1840, China has entered a period of profound changes unseen in three thousand years. In 1937, the Second Sino-Japanese War began, and the Chinese nation was tempered by the flames of war and ushered in a new life. Over the past hundred years, the Chinese nation has stumbled forward from the "old empire" in the "medieval" state, and gradually transformed into a "modern nation-state." This difficult and tortuous process is recorded in Mr. Jiang Tingfu's "Modern History of China: 1840-1937". This book is divided into two parts. The first part is "Modern History of China", which briefly and profoundly describes the process of the Chinese nation "out of the Middle Ages" in more than 60,000 words. With his strong comprehensive ability, Mr. Jiang Tingfu has abandoned the tedious research and accumulation of historical materials, and sorted out a clear context of the development of modern China for readers. The discussion is vivid, the views are profound, and it is easy to read and durable...

The most chaotic period in China's modern history was probably the so-called warlord period in the early years of the Republic of China, and the warlord period actually only officially began after the death of Yuan Shikai. Because before the imperial system, the Beijing government under the Yuan family was still a government that could command the whole country. Local military leaders cannot ignore the laws and regulations of the country and act arbitrarily. Although it is inevitable for ambitious politicians to form parties for personal gain, in a unified country, they still have some concerns about manipulating the political power vertically and horizontally. But it was not until Yuan's death that Wang Gang truly untied the alliance. The whole country was filled with soldiers and politicians were everywhere, and China's modern history officially entered a so-called "warlord period."

Although the Yuan Empire, which came from the Mongolian grasslands and relied on cavalry, declined in the mid-to-late fourteenth century, the cavalry was not obsolete and still played an indispensable role in the wars between the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. The emerging Ming Dynasty unified the Central Plains by force. Over the next half century, it sent troops to take the initiative many times, deep into the Mongolian grasslands, and launched aggressive strategic offensives against the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty who had fled back beyond the Great Wall, with few defeats. However, since Ming Renzong, the fourth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, succeeded to the throne, he turned from offense to defense. The Mongolian tribes made a comeback and went south to confront the Ming army. By the time the sixth emperor Ming Yingzong came to power, due to his incompetence in running the army, hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northern Expedition were completely defeated in the decisive battle of Tumubao. The famous minister Yu Qian was ordered to face danger and won the battle to defend Beijing. Unfortunately, he died due to internal struggles. For more than a hundred years, the Ming and Mongolian sides faced each other, sometimes at war and sometimes at peace.
