In the Song Dynasty, the ranks of the scholar class expanded unprecedentedly, and correspondingly, the number of women in the scholar class also expanded. This book clearly defines the concept of "scholar-class women in the Song Dynasty", starting from order, norms and the actual life of women, and organizing it according to the logical sequence of society, family and individual levels. It extensively examines the norms for women in the Song Dynasty, including the state, scholar society, local villages and scholar-class families. It systematically displays the reality of the lives of scholar-class women in the Song Dynasty, and examines the relationship between the social order, norms and the lives of scholar-class women in the Song Dynasty from multiple angles and levels. The whole book is divided into two parts: upper and lower. The first part mainly discusses the process of Song Confucianism interpreting and constructing the ideal gender order with the help of Yin and Yang theory; the regulation of gender order by sexual deviance laws and the system of banners; the norms, education and expectations of women by scholars' public opinion, township reviews, and families. The second part examines the actual life of scholar-class women in the Song Dynasty from the perspective of social reality: their participation in the public sphere; their reading activities; their leisure and entertainment, travel and social gatherings; and the diverse models of husband-wife and wife-concubine relationships.

An acclaimed classic in the study of modern Japanese Sinology! When the two Song Dynasties migrated, the refugees from the north and the military pressure from the Jin and Yuan Dynasties made the Southern Song Dynasty breathless. In the past, researchers focused more on historical discussions in the fields of politics, economy, military, and diplomacy of the Southern Song Dynasty, but lacked understanding of the people in this dynasty that was based in the south of the Yangtze River. This book uses a unique interpretation of two important documents at the time, "Ming Gong Shu Tan Qing Ming Collection" and "Yuan Shi Shi Fan", to explain how the Jiangnan court used the wealth of the south, the people's loyalty and diligence, and the officials' conservative mentality to obtain resources to stabilize the regime in this dangerous situation, thus opening up a prosperous era of Zhongxing that lasted for many years. The book analyzes the mentality of local officials rooted in the south from the perspectives of judicial judgment, political reform, and personnel appointments. At the same time, it also draws out the logic of traditional Chinese scholars and their views on emotion, reason, and law, thereby providing readers with a rare model of the history of ancient Chinese political mentality. It is a rare sinological research classic with solid foundation and strong readability.

After the end of World War II, the United States, Britain and other countries jointly invested more than three billion US dollars to purchase a batch of materials to help countries that suffered fascist aggression relieve victims and restore production. China is also one of the recipient countries. To this end, the Nationalist Government established the General Administration of Relief and Relief of the Executive Yuan (referred to as the General Administration), and proposed the concept of "integrating relief into the aftermath." From 1945 to 1947, under the leadership of the General Manager of the Bank, China successively carried out relief activities such as emergency relief, special relief, work relief, and repatriation of refugees, as well as aftermath projects in agriculture, industry, transportation, medical and health, etc. The development of the aftermath relief work has provided relief to thousands of Chinese victims and has also played a certain role in promoting China's post-war recovery.

Civilian official assessment is both a system and a political act. As an important part of official management, it involves official selection, awards, punishments, promotions and demotions, etc. It occupies an important position in the political life of the Qing Dynasty. This book examines in detail the five main assessment forms of the Qing Dynasty, including civil service examinations for civil servants in the Qing Dynasty, Beijing inspections for Beijing officials, local official plans, year-end secret examinations for local officials, and assessment of prefecture and county facts under the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty. The theoretical analysis covers the origin, connotation and development of the system, as well as the implementation effect and substantive role of the assessment. The book points out that: in theory, civil official assessment "deposes the secrets and the bright" and rectifies the officialdom, but is affected and restricted by the administrative environment, and the assessment and the administrative environment are dialectical relationships; the supervisory officer's focus on the examination and responsibility system has both advantages and disadvantages, and the chief official's focus on the examination is scientific, and at the same time it has become the main source of the assessment drawbacks; the year-end secret examination system implemented in the Qianlong Dynasty expanded the power of the governor, and also became the emperor's control It was a powerful tool to control local officials; the close integration of official assessment and selection was an important measure in the Qing Dynasty to give full play to the inspiring role of excellent assessment. The appointment of first-class officials from Beijing to local officials became a highlight of the Qing Dynasty's personnel appointments; when the emperor introduced the excellent and six-law officials and the assessment was based on actual evidence, the implementation of assessment accountability could relatively effectively increase the possibility of a fair and orderly assessment.

Homology or kinship is debated endlessly in the academic circles. Based on "Super Language Family: New Theory of Historical Comparative Linguistics", this book continues to explore the classification research of world languages ​​by foreign scholars. The traditional historical comparative method is far from being able to satisfy today's historical linguistics research. Methodologies from biological sciences, computer science and other fields have promoted the development of historical linguistics, and have influenced historical linguistics methodology from three aspects (similarity, characteristics, distance), pushing historical linguistics research to a new stage of development.

As an independent discipline, communication studies was born in the United States in the 1940s, but the emergence of communication ideas can be traced back to ancient Greece. As the famous communication theorist E. M. Rogers said, "Anyone involved in a new river wants to know where the water here comes from and why it flows like this." "Where do we come from?" This is a question that the young and ancient discipline of communication has to face. This book is such a traceable book. From the ancient Greek academies more than 2,000 years ago to the colorful contemporary Internet world, this book attempts to transcend the barriers of time and break the boundaries of disciplines. Through the investigation of the thoughts of several generations of scholars and philosophers, it traces the emergence, development and evolution of communication ideas in Europe, and outlines a "lineage table" of communication studies in the context of history and the broad humanities and social sciences background. As a relatively complete research work on the history of Western communication thought, the author uses a personalized interpretation method to explore the essence, which helps to broaden readers' horizons and promote in-depth research on communication thought.

Since the birth of the imperial examination system in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it has affected social politics, culture and life in many aspects, especially the impact on scholars, which also restricted the literary creation at that time. The imperial examination system was greatly improved in the Song Dynasty, which not only greatly increased the number of candidates, but also improved the selection and management systems of the imperial examination system. For a long time, academic circles have always focused their research on the imperial examination system and its social significance, focusing on historical elaboration, and to a certain extent, neglected the impact of the imperial examination system on the texts of contemporary literati. As the official career promotion path that had the greatest impact on Song Dynasty literati, the imperial examination system most directly affected the literary creation and literary themes of Song Dynasty literati.

This book establishes a historical data database on the historical climate and hydrological changes of the Yellow River by systematically collecting and sorting out historical data on rainfall, water regime, disasters and other existing archives, local chronicles and collections of works on the middle reaches of the Yellow River since the Qing Dynasty. Based on this, the drought and flood levels (1644-2009) and surface rainfall change sequence (1765-2010) of the middle reaches of the Yellow River since the Qing Dynasty were reconstructed; the major drought of 1689-1692 and the extreme precipitation of 1819 on small and medium spatial scales were restored , the spatial and temporal differentiation characteristics of climate-hydrological events such as the temperature change in 1929, and the historical aspects of regional social response; and then try to diagnose the influence of external environmental factors such as natural and social factors, and clarify the interactive relationship between the impact of single disaster events and regional social response. At the same time, it also discusses the operation mode of the Yellow River flood control and flood reporting system in the Qing Dynasty, as well as the Yellow River river control management, river engineering management, etc. To a certain extent, it has promoted the depth of research on related academic issues in cross-cutting fields such as historical geography and Yellow River water conservancy history. The research conclusions reveal the characteristics and patterns of droughts and floods, rainfall changes, extreme dryness and humidity, and cold and warm events in the middle reaches of the Yellow River since the Qing Dynasty. It is not only a positive response to the study of regional climate reconstruction from a global perspective, but also provides historical reference for current disaster risk management and human adaptation to climate change. It also provides historical similarities for predicting regional climate change in the next decades or even centuries.

The book "Family Rites in the Song Dynasty" observes the historical scene of the Song Dynasty's family rituals as a collective writing norm, explores the self-setting of the writers in the family rituals text during this period, and their intentions and approaches when writing. It describes the general writing of the family ritual texts in the Song Dynasty and analyzes the history of the text's production. Context, the continuation and update of different family ritual texts, and changes in knowledge types, and taking Zhu Zi's "Family Rites" as a case study, outlines the process of canonization of family ritual texts and popularization of knowledge after the Song Dynasty, in order to illustrate the testing and practice of the family ritual knowledge created by writers throughout the Song Dynasty in later generations. The research combines methods such as intellectual history, cultural history, and social history, including detailed analysis of written records and interpretation of images, providing a new paradigm for the study of family rituals.

The rise of Mongolia in the early 13th century and its conquest and rule over vast areas of Eurasia not only changed the world, but also caused the Mongolian nation to break away from their original shamanic beliefs and convert to Tibetan Buddhism. However, for a long time, the details of the spread of Tibetan Buddhism inside and outside the Yuan Dynasty court have been little known. Due to various historical reasons, traditional Han scholars lacked a basic understanding of Tibetan Esotericism, and at the same time they were keen to eroticize it. They even believed in unofficial histories and portrayed Tibetan Esotericism in official history as a "witchcraft" and "ghost religion" similar to Fangzhongshu. This tendency to seriously shamanize and eroticize Tibetan Buddhism and even the entire Tibetan society has continued to the present day and has even affected the Western world. This book makes use of a large number of Chinese-translated Tibetan esoteric documents discovered in recent years, and conducts textual research and in-depth research on them with corresponding Tibetan, Tangut, Uighur and other ethnic language documents. It attempts to understand Tibetan Buddhist terms such as "Yanjuerfa" in their original language, history, culture and religious context, restore the true appearance of the Tibetan esoteric rituals passed down by the Yuan Dynasty court, and finally reveal the truth about the history of the spread of Tibetan Buddhism in Yuan Dynasty China.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Ming Dynasty had a prominent significance in the supervisory system of the Ming Dynasty. It played an important role in maintaining the relationship between the central and local governments, strengthening communication between the upper and lower levels, and maintaining judicial justice and social equity. This book examines the construction and implementation of the supervisory system in the Ming Dynasty, analyzes the innovations in the political system of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the Ming Dynasty, points out the importance and key significance of "human construction", and contributes to deepening the study of the supervisory system. It is an academic work with great reference value.

This is a Bancroft Prize-winning historical classic and a model for social mobility research. One of its contributions is that no one has before used such records to study the development of cities and their causes in this way. Newspapers and other familiar sources record the lives of only 5% of the population. And beyond these records, there are thousands more whose births, lives, and deaths went unnoticed by the chroniclers of their times. Sainstrom looked at surviving records of these people, as well as raw, uninterpreted data from old city directories, as well as disappearing marriage license applications and abandoned local tax records. He collected and analyzed this overlooked evidence to provide one of the most thorough series of observations ever made on patterns of immigration and social mobility in changing American communities. Sainstrom's research, especially "Other Bostonians," provides new material and perspectives for discussing society, politics, and union organizing, investigating Americans' upward mobility, and examining the diverse experiences of particular groups (Irish, Italians, English, Jews, native Americans, and blacks).

The book "Research on the Royal Reward Ceremony of the Western Zhou Dynasty" is mainly based on handed down documents, combined with bronze inscriptions and archaeological results, starting from five aspects: feudal rewards, appointment rewards, sacrificial rewards, war rewards, and court appointments.

It also explores the historical trajectory and internal reasons of the emergence, development and decline of the Western Zhou royal reward ceremony system.

This is a concise reading book about the edition knowledge of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian". The book starts with Hu Ke's imitation of "Tongjian" by Hu Ke during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, and explores in detail the origin of editions of "Zi Zhi Tongjian" since the publication of Hu Sansheng's "Tongjian Annotation". The greatest contribution of the book is that the author makes full use of his knowledge of editions and historical methods to systematically elaborate on the relevant historical background of Hu's commentary on "Tongjian" and its publication and the basic issues of editions of ancient Chinese books through specific examples. At the same time, it allows readers to have a deeper understanding of the value of historical materials on the basis of understanding the edition of "Tongjian". This is an important contribution of this book to edition studies and historical philology.

The winds of Yao and the rains of Shun represent the Chinese people's yearning for a peaceful and prosperous age for thousands of years, and the construction and planning of ancient China were based on the idea of ​​achieving this ideal. This book is based on ancient Chinese classics and uses Chinese astronomy and archeology as research methods. It traces back to the founding period of Chinese civilization from Qizheng Tower in the Yuan Dynasty, showing the origin and continuity of Chinese civilization. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is "A Study on the Name and Orientation of Qizheng Tower", which examines the name, direction and central axis system of Qizheng Tower, revealing the significance of its meaning in "Yao Dian" of Shangshu, and also reflects the inclusiveness and stability of the ancient Chinese historical development of "following the Taoist tradition and establishing a new governance", and its ideological support. It reflects the integration of China's diverse cultures and nationalities; Chapter B is "The Yin and Yang Formula of the Yuan Dadu Plan", which combines the ancient astronomical laws and calculations to explain that the Yuan Dadu, as a representative of the ancient Chinese construction system, is the carrier of traditional Chinese thought and culture, and presents its typical significance as a political and cultural center. Kublai Khan's Yuan Dynasty, with the construction of a city, proved the ideological origin and great significance of China's pluralistic unity pattern, and witnessed the long history of Chinese civilization with its immortal cultural heritage.

Chen Pingyuan's "Aspects of Novel History" discusses the history of modern Chinese novel research since the late Qing Dynasty. He did not seek to cover everything, but selected Lu Xun, Hu Shi, A Ying, Pu Shike, Xia Zhiqing, Han Nan, Yan Jiayan, Fan Boqun, Zhao Yuan, Huang Ziping, Wang Dewei and himself, a total of twelve, for review, extension and development. In his words, these researchers may not necessarily have the best performance, but they are all unique and can stimulate thinking and discussion. Chen Pingyuan has always been concerned about the possibility of integrating novel theory and novel history, and even pursued how to truly achieve methodological innovation and even theoretical creation in the actual operation of novel history. Therefore, with a prominent awareness of issues, this book repeatedly asks questions about the functions, methods and realm of "historiography of novels", as well as how far the history of novels can go. The book combines the interest of novel history, the scale of academic history, and the vision of education history. It is not only a flash of inspiration, but also the result of his long-term accumulation and smooth progress. This book is compiled based on the lecture notes of Peking University in the spring and summer of 2020, and also includes professional papers and academic essays. Sometimes it's a long talk, sometimes it's just to the point, "big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate", flexible and diverse, and pay attention to the rhythm, at the same time interspersed with gossip, and anecdotes of teachers and friends. "Twelve People and Twelve Books" can be regarded as both a point of reference in the academic world and an analysis of famous works. It is an effective attempt to break down the barriers between the academic world and the public.

"Talk about Official History Versions" starts from the "History Department" official history books and photos included in the "National Library of Song and Yuan Rare Books Catalog", explores the relevant historical philology and version bibliography knowledge, and puts forward its own opinions on some specific issues in official history handed down from ancient times. For example, there are issues with the style of ancient books, issues with the circulation of versions of the same official history, and even the author signatures of some books, etc. Many of the questions raised have good implications for the future compilation of ancient books and the compilation of related ancient books catalogues.

The social history of water conservancy is one of the most active fields in regional social history research in recent years. "Water is beneficial to all things without fighting for it." In fact, both advantages and disadvantages come with each other, and the benefits and disadvantages go hand in hand. It is better to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. This is true whether in water-rich areas or water-scarce areas. This also reminds researchers that through "watershed" research at different spatial scales, they can effectively examine water conservancy society in the ecological environment, regard water conservancy society as the link between nature and society, and deepen the study of regional social history. This book embodies the new exploration of Shanxi's water conservancy society from the aspects of the theory of water conservancy and social history research, case studies of specific "watersheds", water conservancy and water hazards, rural areas and cities, etc. Focusing on the water resources issues in Shanxi during the historical period, the content covers theoretical methods of water conservancy and social history research, river basins and springs, lake preservation and waste, water division and competition, water rights and water cases, water conservancy and flood disasters, ritual governance systems, family sacrifices, etc., With the intention of establishing a basic research framework for "water-centered Shanxi society".

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the writing of Zishu showed another extremely active situation since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States. Only from the relevant records in the Zishu of Sui Shu·Jingji Zhi, we can get a glimpse of the variety of works by its writers. Due to the long history and the frequent occurrence of various natural and man-made disasters, the writings of the Wei and Jin Dynasties have been seriously lost, which has caused great difficulties for future generations to explore. Therefore, for a long time, few people have been involved in this research field as a whole. This book is an overall review of the books of the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties. The study of this book believes that the Eastern Han, Wei, and Jin dynasties generally belonged to the prosperous period. Compared with the Western Han Dynasty, Zishu in the Eastern Han Dynasty was on the rise. Regarding the classification and summary of the writings of various schools of thought in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the author reveals the active trend of Wei and Jin thought from different aspects. The book's discussion section discusses the school affiliation, ideological connotation and literary factors of the extant Wei and Jin zishu works, covering a total of more than 50 relatively complete or only a small amount of lost works by the 46 zishu writers of the Wei and Jin dynasties. This paper analyzes the differences in the writings of Zishu in various specific periods of this period, and reveals that the authors of the more important Zishu of the Three Kingdoms were mostly military and political ministers. Their works mostly dealt with political strategies and governance, or criticism and reconstruction of social atmosphere, as well as character appreciation. In analyzing the school positioning of Wei and Jin Zishu and its similarities and differences, this book focuses on exploring its literary value.

Spring society is an important type of Shanxi water conservancy society. It is an active attempt and exploration advocated by the author to conduct research on the history of Chinese water conservancy society from the perspective of typology. At the beginning of my research on the social history of water conservancy in Shanxi, I noticed that Gu Yanwu, a famous scholar in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, said in "The Book of Benefits and Diseases of Prefectures and Countries in the World" that "the spring water in Shanxi is as abundant as that in Fujian." This is in sharp contrast to the current people's impression of Shanxi's lack of water resources. The ancient and modern changes in Shanxi's water resources are intrinsically related to the development of regional society. Taking water as the starting point is a new perspective to comprehensively examine the social and historical changes in Shanxi's region. This is complementary to the emerging environmental history research in China. This book strives to organically combine social history and environmental history. It hopes to provide a comparable regional case for the study of Chinese water conservancy social history while interpreting the environmental history of Shanxi in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. As an important birthplace of the Yellow River civilization, Shanxi has a long history of development and utilization of spring water resources. The water politics, water economy, water rights, water beliefs, and water culture formed around the development of water resources are very rich. The main spring areas represented by Taiyuan Jinci Spring, Jiexiu Hongshan Spring, Hongdong Huo Spring, Xinjianggudui Spring, Yicheng Luanchi Spring, and Linfen Longci Spring not only fully retain the ancient water conservancy facilities and water conservancy relics since the Tang and Song Dynasties, but also have a wealth of water conservancy inscriptions, water conservancy contracts, water conservancy canals, water conservancy lawsuit files and other precious documents, which provide us with favorable conditions for research on the social history of Shanxi water conservancy. In the spirit of "Going to poverty and falling into the underworld, looking for things with hands and feet" and under the guidance of Professor Xinglong's academic philosophy of "going to the fields and society", we have traveled throughout the major spring areas in Shanxi over the past twenty years, going deep into the countryside and fields, entering villages and households, conducting field surveys and conducting on-site visits. On this basis, the impression of "Quanyu Society" has become more and more profound. In order to fully present the appearance and characteristics of Shanxi Quanyu society, this book adopts a combination of case study and special research. As an important branch and hot field of Chinese social history, the social history of water conservancy has attracted the attention of researchers from multiple disciplines. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, Shanxi's large-scale spring irrigation systems are dotted throughout the province, especially in the Fen River Basin. They are important economic zones and cultural centers in their respective regions. This book fully explores and utilizes the abundant and diverse water conservancy inscriptions, contract documents, canal and water records, genealogy, archives and other folk documents in various spring areas in Shanxi. It combines case-based empirical research and special research to fully demonstrate the history of Shanxi, a province with increasingly scarce water resources. During this period, focusing on the water environment, aquatic industry, water organization, water system, water culture, water belief and water politics formed by the development of spring water resources, we tried to use spring society as an example to construct a basic knowledge system for the study of water conservancy social history, and on this basis, we refined a localized conceptual model - spring society.

The name of this journal is "Disasters and History", which is based on the understanding that "disasters and history interact in two directions and are indispensable" formed during long-term research practice. It advocates examining disasters from a historical perspective, and at the same time, exploring history from the perspective of disasters; disasters are no longer isolated, closed single events, or abnormal conditions outside the norm, but are open dynamic systems deeply embedded in history and are part of the historical evolution process. History also uses disasters as representations to present its essential complexity, diversity, and uncertainty. It is no longer just a discussion of the so-called past disaster history, but an observation and prediction of current and even future disaster situations from a dynamic process perspective, that is, a historical perspective.

The political reform of the late Qing Dynasty and the Revolution of 1911 are an area in which the study of modern Chinese history has achieved fruitful results in recent years. As the relevant research on the revolutionary party and constitutionalists becomes increasingly in-depth, the study of the Qing court and the Manchu dignitaries becomes even more important. This book takes the prominent and powerful Manchu princes and the political reform in the late Qing Dynasty as the topic. It has important academic value and is a clear advancement and deepening of previous research.

This book mainly studies the sales system of the Tang Dynasty. It not only conducts a multi-faceted investigation from the perspective of the legal system of the Tang Dynasty as official law, but also focuses more on the local law of the sales system.

The study of engraving has always been an important part of traditional philology. This book is the first monograph so far to conduct a multi-angle and multi-level study of engraving in the Qing Dynasty. The book is divided into five chapters, which provide a comprehensive and systematic elaboration on issues such as the naming method, quantity and distribution of engravers in the Qing Dynasty, the form of organizational operation, the engraving activities of representative engravers and their interaction with publishers, as well as the influence of pattern writers and engravers on the style of block engraving in the Qing Dynasty. On the one hand, the book is based on traditional documentary disciplines such as editions and bibliography, and collects and organizes thousands of engraving and title materials, thereby laying a relatively deep documentary foundation; on the other hand, it also attempts to expand the research horizons to publishing history, cultural history, art history, economic history and other fields. , To examine the group of carvers in a broader social context, and always implement both macro and micro perspectives, not only an overall grasp and observation of the overall situation of carvers in the Qing Dynasty, but also detailed analysis and examination of specific cases, making the entire study appear systematic and in-depth.

How did the ancients face the plague? Is the miasma real or just a figment of the human mind? What was the doctor-patient relationship like in ancient times? Did they also have doctor-patient conflicts? Professor Yu Gengzhe has long been committed to the study of the medical and social history of medieval China. He believes that "diseases have a greater long-term impact on human history than many factors" and "when exploring the basic laws of people, society and even human nature, medical treatment and diseases are an excellent window." By combing and sorting out a large number of historical materials at home and abroad, this book analyzes actual cases, explores the relationship between disease and people's hearts, medical treatment and society, and traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. It attempts to discover the historical facts hidden behind the words, and provides an idea to try to pull traditional medicine back from the shackles of "science or superstition" and restore the original appearance of ancient Chinese medicine. Its entry points include the review and outlook of medical history research, the shaping of the image of doctors, and the discussion of the doctor-patient relationship. It also considers issues such as the ancient health system, the thinking model of causing and treating plague, the impact of sexually transmitted diseases on brothel culture, and the medical culture behind the tomb murals of the Song Dynasty.

"Local Government in the Qing Dynasty" is the masterpiece of the famous historian and sociologist Qu Tongzu. It is also a classic work written in English during his academic peak period. This book was first published by Harvard University Press in 1962, which won Qu Tongzu great reputation around the world. It is still a must-read in relevant teaching and research in Western sinology circles. There is a folk saying that "the sky is high and the emperor is far away", and there is also a topic in academic circles that "the imperial power does not extend to the county." As the smallest administrative unit in the Qing Dynasty, the state and county-level local governments dealt directly with ordinary people, and their importance is self-evident. The purpose of writing "Local Government in the Qing Dynasty" is to describe, analyze and interpret the structure and operation of state and county-level local governments in the Qing Dynasty. Through various manuscripts and notes, while referring to a large number of official materials, Mr. Qu Tongzu introduced the functions, status, income, forms of corruption and disciplinary control of state and county officials and his four auxiliary groups, namely scribes, Yamen servants, chief followers, and secretaries in extremely concise words, emphasizing that the local government in the Qing Dynasty was actually a "one-person government" centered on state and county officials. It also focuses on the role of the gentry in local administration. "Local Government in the Qing Dynasty" is a classic academic work, but when the author Qu Tongzu wrote it, his intended readers were students in the English-speaking world who lacked understanding of traditional China. Therefore, its narrative is simple and easy to understand, and even ordinary readers without academic background can read it without any hindrance.

Deeply rooted in the political, ideological and historical background of the mid-Ming Dynasty, Tang Shunzhi's historical connotation is relatively rich. The characteristics of historiography have changed throughout life, and it has generally gone through the study of classics in the early stage to the maturity of compilation theory and historical commentary in the later stage. In addition to his daily entertainment and official responsibilities, he wrote a certain number of biographies and inspection records, and participated in the transcription of actual records, which became an integral part of the history of the Ming Dynasty. His historiography had a direct and extensive impact on the subsequent development of historiography in the Ming Dynasty in terms of enlightenment and practical application. Tang Shunzhi also enriched and deepened our understanding of the interactive relationship between "national history" and "unofficial history" with his "appearance in his later years". Broadening the historical perspective, as an ordinary scholar in the mid-Ming Dynasty, Tang Shunzhi's historical value is not limited to the direct expression of his own historiography, but also reflects the general occurrence and development of historiography in the mid-Ming Dynasty to a certain extent due to his "ordinary" and "general" universal significance. At the same time, in accordance with the understanding of "one flower, one world, one leaf, one Tathagata", his complete growth process of historiography also reflects to some extent the development process of Ming Dynasty historiography and even the entire ancient Chinese historiography.
