Features:
1. Strong author lineup, all original contributions rather than compilations. The over 100 scholars involved in writing this book range from professors in their twilight years to young doctors and master's students. Guided by the principles of respecting history and being responsible to readers, they personally authored the content, avoiding the shoddy practice of patching together material found in similar books, which often suffers from repetition.
2. Comprehensive and scientifically categorized, the book details China's 4,000-year cultural history with evidence from history, literature, art, philosophy, science, and general studies. It enables readers to better understand the relentless and resilient development of the Chinese nation, its outstanding contributions to human civilization, the noble spirit, integrity, and high moral standards of its ancestors, as well as the profound depth of Chinese culture.
3. Innovative layout and concise text. The book combines the accuracy and conciseness of an encyclopedia with the rich content and vivid language of reference materials.
4. Novel cover design with unique creativity. The covers are printed in full color on 300g imported copperplate paper, each featuring a famous Chinese painting or symbolic artifact representing the book's theme. Together, the 100 covers form a vibrant visual history of Chinese culture. This approach completely avoids the common practice of using a single, dull color scheme with minor text adjustments to reduce printing costs.
5. Flexible and diverse sales methods. The six major categories of books not only have individual prices but also unique ISBNs and barcodes, allowing readers to choose based on their needs. This prevents the common practice of using the same ISBN for 100 identical books with either a single total price or multiple individual prices—a practice explicitly banned by the State Press and Publication Administration.
6. Broad readership. The book is ideal for patriotism and quality education in schools, as well as a valuable resource for general readers seeking to explore the history of Chinese civilization and enhance their cultural. It is not only a staple in school and institutional libraries but also a must-have in modern homes, serving as a symbol of library taste in educational settings and personal literary refinement.
7. Extremely affordable price. The entire 100 volumes are priced at a total of 1,980.00 yuan, with six individual price ranges from over 100 to 400. Readers can purchase a single volume for just a few yuan, avoiding the exorbitant pricing of similar books (which often sell for eight or nine thousand yuan, averaging near 100 yuan per volume). This ensures readers get high-quality books at a truly reasonable price.
We have compiled this comprehensive volume to include content absent in the other volumes, providing a thorough exploration of all aspects of Chinese culture. We will cover topics such as the history of Chinese law, traditional wedding and funeral customs, the origins of Chinese surnames, cultural festivals, natural resources, and the evolution of Chinese characters, among others.
