When my child and I got the book, as soon as we opened it, we couldn't help but exclaim "wow, wow, wow", and all the words of praise converged into one word, "beauty". We couldn't help but watch for 3 hours at once.
As Chinese, we are feeling the changes in China every day, and we will often visit the great rivers and mountains of the motherland and know the beautiful attractions that Are familiar with China. However, the China we know is all kinds of fragments, all the points of media propaganda, has anyone systematically understood China?
As human beings, we often ask ourselves: Who are we, where are we from, and where are we going? As China, if we ask: Where did China come from and where will it go? The answer to this question can be answered from political, economic, cultural, historical and other aspects. Would anyone systematically answer these questions from a geological and geographical point of view?
The book "Here is China" is compiled by the Planet Research Institute and the China Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Research Association, and is written by a group of top geologists in China, whose content is very professional and in-depth, but it is not at all as obscure as professional books, but uses vivid and humorous language, and a large number of exquisite maps, pictures, and even a three-dimensional image, from the Chinese address scholars to systematically answer: where China came from, where to go, such a profound question.
In the book, from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Coco Xili, Ali, Siguniang Mountain, etc. of the first ladder, to Gansu, Xi'an, Chengdu, FanjingShan, etc. of the second ladder, and to Henan, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangnan, etc. of the third ladder, the book vividly unfolds a picture of China's landscape and historical development for the reader. What is even more praiseworthy is that the book is not only an introduction to knowledge, but also tells the destruction and transformation of the environment by human beings from the perspective of the environment, so that children can have a deeper understanding of the environment.
As the book begins: "Ever since Homo sapiens set foot on this land, the transformation of the land of China by mankind has begun." The population has lasted for 40,000 to 60,000 years, villages and cities have risen from the ground, and 10,000 years of agricultural and pastoral reclamation, cultivated land and livestock have spread in all directions; the rapid progress of modern industry that has lasted for a hundred years has reached the world by road and railway. However, we created civilization, and civilization wiped out the wilderness. ”
Reading this book can feel the author's deep affection and concern for China, which can make us rediscover the beauty of China.
The books recommended by Lao Bai to everyone are suitable for children to read, at least for parents and children to read together, do not understand or look too tired, I will not recommend. After reading this book, I can systematically and intuitively understand the beauty of China, love our country, and is much better than patriotic preaching.
What are the shortcomings of this book? There are two points, one is a little expensive, the price is 168 yuan, but considering the exquisite printing, a large number of high-definition pictures and maps, this price is also very valuable; the second is a little thick, children will hold it heavy, if you can divide into several volumes will be more suitable for children to read.
This book has won many honors such as "2019 China Good Book", "The 15th Wenjin Book Award", "Douban 2019 Annual Book", "2019 China Excellent Popular Science Book List Top Ten Excellent Popular Science Books" and other honors, and has been recommended by Liu Jiaqi and Cui Peng, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Jia Haifeng, professor of the School of Environment of Tsinghua University, and Aoki, a well-known writer and explorer.
