Features: This book includes 19 papers, most of which have been published previously, with 3 being posthumously published. The papers primarily discuss issues from the pre-Qin period, with some extending to the Qin and Han dynasties. Within the pre-Qin history, the focus is mainly on the history of the Zhou dynasty. The new arguments cover a wide range of topics, including politics, economy, military, culture, and thought. They can be broadly divided into two groups: one centered on institutions, and the other on thought and culture. The topics discussed in the book mostly involve major issues or those with scholarly debate.
