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 60s to young doctoral and master's students. They adhere to the principle of respecting history and being responsible to a broad readership by writing their own contributions, thus avoiding the shoddy practice of patching together content found in similar books, which often features repetitive material.
2. Comprehensive and scientifically categorized, the book elaborates on China's 4,000-year cultural history with textual records from six aspects: history, literature, art, philosophy, science and technology, and comprehensive studies. It enables readers to better understand the self-reliant and resilient development journey of the Chinese nation, its outstanding contributions to human civilization, the noble national spirit, integrity, and 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 and vivid content of a knowledge compendium.
4. Unique cover design with creative elements. The covers are printed in full color on 300g imported art paper, each featuring a famous Chinese painting or symbolic artwork representing the book's theme. Together, the 100 covers form a pictorial history of Chinese culture paired with thematic content. This design completely avoids the usual practice of using the same color scheme in similar books with minor text changes to reduce printing and production costs.
5. Flexible and diverse sales methods. The six categories of books in this series not only have their own individual pricing but also carry separate ISBNs and barcodes. Readers can choose based on their needs, avoiding the common practice of using a single ISBN for 100 books with either a single total price or multiple individual prices (Note: This practice is explicitly prohibited by the National Press and Publication Administration).
6. Broad readership. The book is not only suitable for patriotism and quality education in primary and secondary schools but also serves as an excellent textbook for readers seeking to understand the history of Chinese civilization and improve their cultural literacy. It is not only a staple in school and organizational libraries but also a must-have for modern families. It represents both the taste of school libraries and a symbol of personal literary refinement.
7. Extremely affordable price. The full set of 100 volumes is priced at 1,980.00 yuan, with six sub-pricing options ranging from over 100 to over 400 yuan. The actual purchase price per book is only a few yuan, avoiding the exorbitant pricing of similar books (which often cost 8,000–9,000 yuan for 100 volumes, averaging nearly 100 yuan per small-sized book). This ensures readers truly acquire high-quality, budget-friendly books.
