Features: Civilization Exploration Series · . The vast ocean has changed, and you and we have gradually drifted apart; exploration and discovery bring us closer to you. Too many memories have become blurred, the brilliance of history gradually becoming as clear as yesterday. The glint of swords and spears has dimmed, the clamor of drums and horns has faded. The hegemony of Qi and Jin has returned to dust; the glory of the Warring States has only been imagined. This era of transformation has swept away the decayed and nurtured new sprouts. Over the centuries, heroes have emerged. The brilliant generals who shook the world decided the fate of nations with their actions; the eloquent diplomats who wielded words could break through city walls with their rhetoric. The Nine Provinces of Huaxia shine like stars. The pragmatic Confucius and Mencius taught people how to conduct themselves; the serene Laozi and Zhuangzi brought people peace; there was also the authority of the Legalists and the frugality of the Mohists, as the spiritual sources of the Chinese nation, flowing for thousands of years.
