"A Brief Reading of Chinese History: China in the Coordinates of World History" Author: Zhang Hongjie Publisher: Yuelu Publishing House

Chinese civilization has never developed in isolation. From the moment it was created, it has been influenced by factors from other civilizations in the world. However, these external factors have not changed the essence of Chinese civilization. Instead, they have further highlighted the uniqueness of Chinese civilization. This book puts Chinese history in the context of world history and clarifies the context of Chinese historical development to help readers establish an overall concept of Chinese history in a short period of time. At the same time, this book uses the interpretation method of "long time, long distance, and wide vision" to try to present the internal logic and external motivations behind the cycle of order and chaos in Chinese history in an all-round way.
