A series of historical figures to analyze the works
"China in the Classics"
Published in Tiandi Publishing House.
Based on the records of ancient books such as "Twenty-Four Histories", this series of books tells more than 700 historical and cultural celebrities such as Qin Shi Huang, Dong Zhongshu, Wang Xizhi, Shangguan Wan'er, Su Dongpo, Zhang Juzheng, etc., involving more than 2,000 literary and historical knowledge points such as Zhuzi Baijia, Alpine Flowing Water, Seven Sages of bamboo forests, Fang Mou Du Duan, Tang and Song Dynasties, etc. It is a set of historical and cultural reading materials that are concise and rich, interesting and informative, and carry forward traditional culture.
The original texts of 130 historical texts are compared, vividly explaining the Chinese stories in the classics
Chinese civilization has a long history, thanks to the attention paid by literati and scholars to historical records. Since the Zhou Dynasty, there have been special historians recording the every move of the emperors and generals, major events in social life, and so on.
Until Sima Qian wrote the "Records of History", he finally made a systematic penetration of Chinese civilization. Since then, each dynasty has regarded the revision of history as a key project of the state and summed it up as a political gain or loss. It is precisely for this reason that there are historical works such as the "Twenty-Four Histories" and the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty", which have continued the historical record of the Chinese nation to the present day and have not been broken.
Only by seeing clearly the source of history can we find the direction of the future. These history books, as well as many more ancient classics, are undoubtedly the treasures of the Chinese nation. This series of books is to rediscover, explain, and evaluate historical figures from these classics, and use the language habits and ways of thinking that are closest to the present to take us back to ancient times, dialogue with the sages, and understand the wisdom, courage and life of the ancients.
More than 700 historical celebrities walked out of the classics and opened a cultural salon with us
This series of books contains 4 major themes and 20 major categories, and strives to show the humanistic charm of ancient China in an all-round way.
"Literati Sages": Built the spiritual backbone of Chinese culture
"Literati sages" not only explains the important representative figures and ideas of the Hundred Sons and Hundreds of Families, as well as the ideological flow of Dong Zhongshu, Zhu Xi, Wang Yangming and other inheritors and innovators, but also introduces the personalities and works of writers, musicians, calligraphers and painters such as Qu Yuan, Han Yu, Su Shi, Li Yannian, Wang Xizhi, Gu Kaizhi, etc., taking us to understand the thinking of Chinese literati and where the Chinese literary context lies.
"Celebrity Confidant": Appreciate the faith and freedom of the ancient masters
Chinese culture has a strong inclusiveness and does not hide the aura of individual life. In the traditional texts, some people with bad character are criticized, and some disgraceful things may be avoided, but for some seemingly alternative but harmless personality behaviors, they are justly recorded in the annals of history, and they are returned to their authentic appearance.
"Lady of the Towel": Women have never been subordinate to men
And, of course, great women. Nowadays, inertial thinking makes many people think that ancient women are just appendages of the patriarchal world, but when you open the history books, you will find that the strange women of ancient times are colorful, and their stories seem to be much more exciting than we imagine. Above the court, there was only one empress, Wu Zetian, but there were not a few women who could sway the situation and turn the tide, and the eight sons of Qi Bazi who moved the camera, the Shangguan Wan'er, the prime minister of the towel, and the empress Xiaozhuang who laid the foundation of the Qing Dynasty...
More than 2,000 literary and historical knowledge points are easily memorized, allowing us to quickly "read poetry books"
Although the whole series of books is not large, it is full of dry goods, and it covers more than 2,000 points of literature and history knowledge. Spring and Autumn Five Masters, Hundred Sons and Hundred Families, Guan Bao's Friendship, Lying Down, Burning Books, Pit Confucianism, "Thief and Sister-in-law", Falling into the City, Entering the Wood Three Points, "Bodhisattva Emperor", Yong Shu's Talent, Serving in the Army for His Father, Taking People as a Mirror, Adding Yellow Robes to The Body, Yang MingXinxue, Being in Cao Ying's Heart in Han, Chong Guan's Anger as a Red Face... Behind every word is an allusion, a piece of history, a string of knowledge.
