Features: The origin of compiling the "Three Major Historical Timelines" can be traced back to the late 1980s. At that time, while studying in Japan, I happened to visit a bookstore as usual and came across a large hardcover book titled "Save the Earth." I was quickly captivated by it. Although books of a similar nature were not uncommon, "Save the Earth" moved me deeply. The reform and opening-up had just begun then, and my understanding of the outside world was limited. However, "Save the Earth" was spearheaded by Prince Charles of the United Kingdom and written as its preface, and it was published simultaneously in thirty-two countries worldwide, with all proceeds going to environmental protection causes. I was surprised by the high awareness and deep compassion of foreigners, so despite the expensive price, I bought a copy.
The "Timeline of Earth's Deepening and Periodic Civilization" was mainly inspired by the two books "The World Before History" and "The Mystery of Civilization." The former explores the expansion of the Earth, which aligns closely with my own conception of Earth's evolution. Meanwhile, the archaeological records in "The Mystery of Civilization" provide a certain perspective to support the Buddhist concept of cosmic cycles (jieqi). Combined with the precise calculations of the I Ching (Yi) method, a "Timeline of Earth's Evolution and the Evolution of Periodic Civilization" was thus created.
