The ancestors of ancient China once believed that the area they lived in was at the center of the world. This could be confirmed in a sense by observing the shadow of the sun on the ground.

Is this imagination or myth? How could it be related to ancient astronomical observations? Does it have more religious or political and cultural implications? The speaker will raise these questions based on ancient documents and archaeological materials. He does not expect to get a firm conclusion, but hopes to provoke some thinking.

Chen Danqing wrote the preface "Tattered Memories" and recommended, "Mr. Feng Keli came forward to narrate his own story in "Old Photos". I read it, and every chapter is good... It turns out that in order to obtain and be allowed to publish these photos, there are stories behind the photos in the photos..." The expanded edition of this book, part of the "Reviewing Old Photos" series, is a personal account of collecting and editing old photos over the years. It comes with more than a hundred precious photos and talks about them to explore the unique value of photos in understanding history. Some of these pictures were "not suitable for publication" in the archives of Xinhua News Agency, some were in the "enemy files" and were originally stored in the enemy and puppet files of the Public Security Bureau. Some of them subverted many expressions in our textbooks and embarrassed "historical stereotypes"; some were from our "private photo albums". By interpreting "various encounters with photos", one can look at history and gaze at "individual lives and memories of the times" in addition to "the grand images of family and country".

This book is named "Book Connection and Popularity". It is a collection of historian Tang Degang's (Teacher Hu Shi's primary school student) reading and daily news articles over many years. There are 32 articles in total, which talk about Hu Shi, Gu Weijun, Zhang Xueliang, Liu Tingfang, Wu Kaixian, Liu Shaotang, Yang Zhenning, etc., And also discuss "Biographic Literature", "Rubai Collection", "A Brief Study of Tang Poetry" and other books, showing the style of history in ordinary details. The author puts himself in the book when writing about people and commentaries, and intersperses many anecdotes. The writing is free and uninhibited, which shows the hardships of life of Chinese American scholars from the 1950s to the 1980s, as well as their deep love for traditional culture and excellent humanistic qualities. They are all a collection of sporadic works that the author usually pays attention to as jottings. There is no obvious system and no depth. However, as the author is getting older, he has suffered decades of suffering between the country and his family, immersed in hundreds of volumes of Chinese and Western classics, and half a lifetime of teaching and reading foreign countries, and feeling the emotion of his homeland. When he wrote this article, it cannot be said that he did not write out of passion. It's just that the civilization of our motherland is profound, and the current world's knowledge is boundless. The old man is brave and ambitious, and his ambition is thousands of miles. How can you live in panic all day long, follow the wise men, and study day and night? How dare you rest on your laurels based on what a fool has learned?

On the Qin and Han roots of the backwardness of mainland China, the three major mainstreams of contemporary Chinese historiography, reading Cao Xueqin's "Culture Conflict" overseas, it is easy to kill a civilization and difficult to build another... "History and Red Studies" contains a total of 17 notes by historian Tang Degang on historical theory, research methods and red studies, discussing the relationship between history and literature, the relationship between novels and history, the locality of overseas Chinese writers, the Latinization of Chinese characters and other issues. The author believes that "no distinction between literature and history" is the difference between traditional Eastern and Western historiography. Excellent historical works are often excellent literary works. He advocates the transmission of history through literature, avoids rigid and stubborn governance of history, and emphasizes the importance of social sciences. The chapter in the book details the writing process of Li Zongren's memoirs, which shows his profound study in oral history. The author's concentrated discussion of taboo issues in "A Dream of Red Mansions" and the article "Reading the Scriptures" analyzing Cao Xueqin's "cultural conflict" are also quite original. "Historical Studies and Red Studies" talks about major historical events. Because Mr. Tang's writing style has a literary background and is written flexibly, readers cannot bear to stop. This is the credit of literary style. Mr. Xia Zhiqing, who later had a writing battle with historian Tang Degang, valued "Tang style prose" very much and called him "a unique essayist in contemporary China."

"Miscellaneous Memories of Hu Shi" was originally a short preface that the author planned to write by himself when he was writing "Hu Shi's Oral Autobiography". Unexpectedly, he had to write hundreds of thousands of words. As a result, the "head" was too big, so he had to print it into a special book and publish it independently. It can be said to be a shortened version of Hu Shi's oral history. Based on his own memories and diary records, Mr. Tang Degang talked about almost all the countless problems and entanglements that Hu Shi was involved in throughout his life, and talked about everything with pleasure. But it is not just about memories. He talked freely about history, politics, philosophy, literature and all other knowledge that Hu Shi paid attention to. It can be seen that the author is talented and knowledgeable. In addition, he has a deep foundation in ancient prose and a humorous nature, so he writes with great momentum and full of wit. Tang Degang wrote Hu Shi vividly, but it was not a heroic superman decorated in a formula. The Hu Shi he wrote was just a real person with flesh and blood, wisdom, genius, but also mistakes and shortcomings. After reading Hu Shi's works written by Tang Degang, you can shake hands with him, exchange greetings, laugh and talk with him, without knowing that the night is coming to an end and people are getting old.

"Apocalypse of China's Native Civilization (3 volumes in total)" is the latest historical work by Sun Haohui, author of the epic masterpiece "The Qin Empire". This is a book that attempts to clarify the history of Chinese civilization in the first 3,000 years. The author started from the awareness of the problem of why China has a pale civilization consciousness and why it does not have its own right to speak about civilization. After more than ten years of research and thinking, while creating "The Qin Empire", he formed his own theoretical system and compiled it into the three-volume "Revelation of China's Native Civilization (all 3 volumes)". "Apocalypse of Chinese Native Civilization (3 volumes)" proposes the concept of Chinese native civilization for the first time, rewrites the history of China's first 3,000 civilizations, carefully sorts out the seven major historical leaps in Chinese history before the Qin Empire, and summarizes the five major survival experiences of the Chinese nation. During these 3,000 years, the Chinese ethnic group has experienced seven major eras - the Age of Five Emperors, Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States, and Qin Empire. In each of these eras, our nation has achieved a huge leap in civilization. After seven major historical leaps, our nation has finally reached the pinnacle of the plateau of Chinese classical civilization - the Qin Empire, successfully achieved the unification of China's territory, successfully created the unification of Chinese civilization, and established an eternal and immortal historical survival paradigm for our country and nation. Presenting history on the one hand, and analyzing history on the other, are the basic features of this book. The author faces the controversy head-on, praises Legalism, criticizes the cultural hegemony of Confucianism, and believes that Chinese civilization after Confucian dominance has lost its previous creativity. He clearly points out that the strength and immortality of Chinese civilization are not at the end of its transformation, but in its strong original era.
