Otherwise, all the historical knowledge points you have read are just castles in the air, and you can't build up your historical knowledge system.
So let's take a look at this set of books.
A "titan of historiography" respected by historians and history professors
Gu Jiegang, a famous historian, said: "Although there have been many books published so far, few books have been published, but they have rarely reached the ideal point, and it was the most difficult undertaking to write a general history with the strength of one person, and there are too many places in Chinese history that need to be examined and studied, so all general history is mostly the same and copied from each other." Among the more ideal, there is Lu Simian's 'vernacular national history'. ”
As one of the "Four Great Historians of Modern China", Lu Simian devoted his life to historical research and historical education, and was later rated as a first-class professor and tenured professor of history by East China Normal University.
During his teaching period, he has taught students courses such as General History of China, Chinese Cultural History, History of China in the Past Hundred Years, and Introduction to Traditional Chinese Studies.
In addition, Lu Simian is also the scholar who is recognized by the Chinese historians as the most well-read, and the "Twenty-Four Histories" has been read several times and has been passed down as a beautiful talk by scholars.
Lü Simian's foundation in sinology is also very deep, but his interest in governing history is not conservative at all. The "literary revolution" of the vernacular literature he advocated deeply influenced the language style of later generations of historical works.
Of course, Mr. Lu Simian's lecture style is also deeply liked by students.
"Memories of Teacher Lü Chengzhi" records: "When Qian Mu was studying at Changzhou Fu Middle School, Mr. Lü taught them a history and geography class, and if he could use historical materials correctly and flexibly in answering the questions, the analysis was thorough, the exposition was rigorous, and he had creative ideas, even if he answered only one of the four questions, he would give him a high score." In one exam, four questions are given, and each question is worth 25 points. ”

"Lü Simian Vernacular Chinese History" is the first completely meaningful general history of China written in the vernacular on the mainland, and is an entry-level must-read book recommended by university history teachers for students to read.
Wang Jiafan, tenured professor and doctoral supervisor of East China Normal University, said, "Mr. Lu Simian often reveals some wonderful discussions in his works, knowing that he has benefited from the absorption of new knowledge such as sociology and anthropology, and that social economy, social organization and social life have entered his general history of China, and is actually a pioneer in the study of social history in China." ”
