Features: In the 21st century, the knowledge economy has begun to emerge. From the perspective of social development, the 21st century is a century that respects knowledge more and emphasizes the comprehensive improvement of talent quality. Based on the demand for talent in the 21st century and the current state of economic and technological development, many aspects of China's original talent cultivation system are not well-suited. A prominent issue is the weakness of humanities education. Practice has proven that strengthening students' cultural quality education is of great significance for the implementation of quality education and for cultivating high-quality talents that meet the needs of the 21st century. Strengthening students' education in literature, history, philosophy, art, and other humanities and social sciences as well as natural sciences is one of the essential means to improve their overall quality. This book briefly introduces the cultural development of humankind from ancient times to the present, the main cultural achievements of each stage of human society, and more. It aims to give students a general understanding of the origins and development of world culture, as well as future trends, within a relatively short time.
