Features: A rich and beautiful civilization has infused strength into my frail body. From the soles of my feet sunk in mud to the of my inner vision, I know that this knowledge and its norms are not only the sword of profit but also a reliable shield. After many years of wandering in academia, I first experienced my love for knowledge and the urgent desire to pursue learning. But gradually, the classroom had long changed its location to the mountains and frontiers; among the ranks of classmates and teachers, farmers and herdsmen had also squeezed in. The division and content of this collection are roughly as follows: Volume I, Geography or Transportation History; Volume II, Mongolian History and Nomadic Culture; Volume III, Islamic and Hui Nationality Studies; Volume IV, Architecture, Archaeology, and Botany; Volume V, Western Regions Civilization; Volume VI, Methodology and Intellectual History. Each volume addresses issues in a specific discipline.
