Features: This book is a lecture series written by the author in 1931, covering from the unification of the Qin people to the new policies of Wang Mang, forming an unfinished chronological history. As a master historian of his generation, Professor Qian Mu adhered to his high-level and comprehensive historical principles, clearly and engagingly outlining the politics, economy, scholarship, and culture of the Qin and Han dynasties, revealing the essence of this brilliant period in Chinese history. As the author stated, "Students should review what I have taught and then study the Records of the Grand Historian and the Records of the Han Dynasty by Sima Qian and Ban Gu. This will give them a glimpse into the general history of the Qin and Han dynasties. Even if someone has thoroughly studied the original works of Sima Qian and Ban Gu and reads my book, it will still be of great help for discussion and research."
