Features: After five years of hard work, the author finally completed the "Research on the History of Mачу." In recent years, the author has focused on the ancient historical and cultural heritage of Hunan and Xiang regions. This is the "source" of modern and contemporary Hunan-Huaxiang history and culture. In the past half-century, archaeological discoveries in Hunan have shown that its ancient history and culture are no less impressive than that of the Central Plains. For example, the Pengtoushan Culture and Chengtoushan Site in the Liyang Plain, the discovery of the Liye Qin bamboo slips, the excavation of Han artifacts from the Mawangdui site and the Three Kingdoms period Wu bamboo slips, and the academy culture of the Song Dynasty, etc. At first glance, it may seem like a fairy tale, but it has opened people's eyes and left them in awe. It has not only shocked China but also shaken the world. The Hunan archaeologists deserve great credit! But how can our historians' comprehensive research lag behind? Some scholars believe that studying local history, especially the ancient history of Hunan, seems to have no room for showcasing talent. This is completely a misconception! The author's "Research on the Changsha Kingdom" and "Research on the History of Mачу" were both evaluated as "Outstanding Social Science Works" by Hunan Provincial Social Science Review Experts and received publishing support from the Hunan Provincial Social Science Planning Office.
