Features: This book reinterprets the remnants of familial culture in Chinese history from the perspective of the author's decade-long research on familial culture theory. Naturally, the process of interpretation also becomes a process of critique. During the critique, the waves that rise in the author's heart are not just a "sigh" but can be described by anything else? The historical facts selected in this book mostly come from the so-called "official histories" such as the Records of the Grand Historian and the Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Government. These "official histories" may not offer as much intrigue as secret texts or folk histories, but once the deeply hidden familial culture within them is deciphered, along with its influence on Chinese politics, economy, history, and culture, the impact it has on readers is something that ordinary people cannot imagine!
