1. "Persuasion to Read analects and analects Reading Method"
Qian Mu: Today's Chinese readers should have two major responsibilities.
The Analects should be a must-read book for Chinese everyone. Not only China, but also this book should become a must-read book for all human beings in the world. I believe that today's Chinese readers should have two major responsibilities: one is to read the Analects themselves, and the other is to persuade others to read the Analects.
2. Introduction to the Four Masterpieces
Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a heroic epic of Chinese.
"Water Margin" is a representative of the chivalrous culture unique to the Chinese nation.
"Journey to the West" is written as a story of gods and demons, which can be described as a collection of imaginary worlds.
As for "Dream of the Red Chamber", the brushstrokes turn to the real family and society, in which the in-depth thinking and delicate depiction of love and destiny can be said to be the leader of ancient Chinese literature.
3. "Automatic Inequality: How High Technology Targets, Regulates, and Punishes the Poor"
Digital almshouses have a long historical tradition in the United States. We manage one poor person after another, just to escape the shared responsibility of eradicating poverty.
It turns out that digital workhouses will isolate the poor and stigmatize them, so it is contrary to our common aspirations.
The ubiquity of high-tech devices allows us to see how our struggles, hopes and dreams intertwine.
4. "Plants That Changed Human History"
58 plant species that changed human history
Europeans have traveled all the seas of the world, and most edible plants have followed in their footsteps and taken root far from their homeland. Yet no one realizes that a revolution that has upset the balance of agriculture and diet on all continents has begun and is still having a good or bad impact on our lives even today.
5. Jiangcun Economy: The Life of Chinese Farmers
The life of a Chinese farmer
My people have a heavy responsibility on their shoulders and are paying a heavy price for the current struggle. I'm not pessimistic, but I'm sure it's a long and serious struggle. We are prepared for the worst, for worse situations than Japanese bombs and poison gas. This book is not a record of a vanished history, but a preface to a new chapter in the history of the world, written with the blood of millions of people.
6. Academics and Politics
Academics and Politics
A man must be convinced that even if the world seems to him to be so foolish that it is not worth his sacrifice, he can still be without complaint or regret; even in the face of such a situation, he can still say, "Wait and see!" Only by doing this step can it be said that he heard the "call" of politics.
7. Academic History of China in the Past Three Hundred Years
In an age when the sovereigns like to interfere in the minds of the people, the ingenuity of scholars can only be to annotate the classics in their entirety. This was the phenomenon at the height of papal power in Europe. Mainland Yongqianjian is also an example. I remember a note from a certain family: "Singing in the inner court, no matter what kind of script will violate taboos, so I have to specially perform some 'fengshen gods' and 'journey to the west', which has nothing to do with the current social situation, and will not make trouble." ”
8. Cultural Anthropology (13th Edition)
In many cultures, people think that obese people are more beautiful than thin people
In these cultures, obesity is widely valued not only because it is seen as more beautiful, but also because it is seen as a symbol of higher status in health, fertility, and stratified societies. This perception contrasts sharply with the ideal paradigm in the United States and many other Western societies, which see obesity as unattractive and a reflection of laziness, lack of self-control, and unhealthiness.
9. The Prophet Sand and Foam
On marriage
There must be a gap in the union between the two of you.
Let the sky wind dance between the two of you.
You two should fill each other's cups, but do not drink from the same cup;
You two should deliver bread to each other, but don't eat the same bread.
Singing, dancing, entertaining, but doing their own thing;
It is important to know that the strings are each tight, although playing a piece of music together.
Be heart-to-heart, but not possess each other;
For only the hand of "life" can contain the hearts of both of you.
Stand up with each other' support, but don't cling to each other;
It should be noted that the pillars of the temple also stand separately,
Oak and pine trees also do not grow in each other's shadows.
10. Evolutionary Psychology: A New Science of Psychology (4th ed.)
A psychological book worth reading
Evolutionary psychology is a revolutionary new science that is a true theoretical fusion of modern psychology and evolutionary biology. Exploring the human mind is a noble undertaking. These questions have fascinated us for hundreds of thousands of years: Where do we come from? How are we related to other life forms? What is the psychological mechanism that makes us human?
11. "Troubled Winter"
You have to make up your own mind
What is good for one person is not necessarily good for another person, and you have no way of knowing that time has passed.
No one needs advice, all people need is to go along with it.
Each man shines only his own light, his own lonely light.
Once the light is extinguished, it appears much darker than when it didn't ignite at all. The world is full of fragments of dark wreckage.
12. The Republic
If justice is slandered
If justice is slandered,
And I still have the ability to argue,
But they can't stand by and help,
This for me,
I am afraid that it is a sin, a great shame.
13. History of Historical Works
Many great institutions were not made, but grew
Institutions, as the public habits, customs and ideas of a particular era, are very illustrative of the characteristics of that era.
Many of the great institutions of history were never created, but grew up. They are one of the most enduring things in history.
