1. Strong author lineup, all original contributions rather than compilations. The over 100 scholars involved in writing this book include professors in their twilight years and young, vibrant doctors and masters. Guided by the principles of respecting history and being responsible to readers, they personally authored the content, avoiding the poorly executed practice of piecing together information from various sources, resulting in repetitive content found in similar books.
2. Comprehensive content, scientifically categorized. Based on the principle of scientific classification, this book thoroughly introduces the 4,000-year cultural history of China with written records from six perspectives: history, literature, art, philosophy, science and technology, and general subjects. It enables readers to better understand the relentless and resilient development of the Chinese nation, the outstanding contributions of the great Chinese nation to human civilization, the noble national spirit, integrity, and high moral standards of their ancestors, and the profound depth of Chinese culture.
3. Innovative layout, concise writing. The book combines the summarizing accuracy and brevity of dictionaries with the detailed and vivid strengths of encyclopedic knowledge.
4. Novel cover design, unique creativity. The covers of this book are printed in four colors on 300g imported art paper. Each cover features a famous Chinese painting or a symbolic object representing the book’s theme. Together, the 100 covers form a colorful illustrated history of Chinese culture. This completely avoids the common practice of using the same color scheme for similar books, merely slightly altering some text to reduce printing and publication costs.
5. Flexible and diverse sales methods. The six major categories of books not only have individual prices but also unique ISBNs and barcodes. Readers can choose flexibly based on their needs, avoiding the practice of issuing 100 books with the same ISBN and barcode under a single price or separate multiple prices (Note: This practice is explicitly prohibited by the Press and Publication Administration).
6. Broad readership. This book is not only suitable for patriotism and quality education in primary and secondary schools but also serves as the best textbook for readers to understand the history of Chinese civilization and improve their cultural. It is not only a staple in school and government libraries but also a must-have in modern households, symbolizing both the taste of school libraries and the refinement of personal collections.
7. Extremely low price. The full 100 volumes are priced at 1,980.00 yuan, with six sub-pricing options ranging from over 100 to over 400. The actual price readers pay is only a few yuan per book, avoiding the practice of similar books priced at 8,000–9,000 yuan (with an average price of nearly 100 yuan per book). This ensures readers truly get high-quality books at affordable prices.
Chinese culture has a profound and weighty 5,000-year history, with the two millennia of Confucian tradition profoundly influencing every aspect of life. In the philosophy volume, we discuss the rise, development, prosperity, and transmission of Confucianism. We will also provide detailed introductions to the thoughts and writings of competing schools such as the Military School, Mohism, Legalism, Yin-Yang School, and other intellectual movements, as well as the evolution of religious schools like Buddhism. We believe this will give you a complete understanding of the development of Chinese philosophy.
