Features: Tan Sitong was one of the "Six Gentlemen of Wuxu" and a prominent representative of the late Qing Dynasty's reform movement. He is remembered in history for his progressive ideas, patriotic passion, unyielding integrity, and tragic early death. The book "Tan Sitong and His Reformist Mentors" provides a detailed introduction to Tan Sitong's life and the evolution of his thoughts. It systematically explores the distinctive aspect of his ideology—his political reform ideas (reformist thought)—and elaborates on his interactions with his reformist mentors in Hunan Province, such as Yang Changji, as well as with reformists from other provinces like Liang Qichao, Kang Youwei, and Chen Baozhen, comparing the similarities and differences in their ideas.
The "Yuelu Academy Academic Series" primarily aims to inherit the academic traditions of Yuelu Academy and continue contributing to the construction and development of contemporary academic culture. It is hoped that this series can preserve the functions of cultural creation, accumulation, and dissemination of ancient academies, playing a small but meaningful role in advancing modern academic culture.
