Features: This anthology is a selection of sixteen articles chosen by the author from various journals and his own works, which can be divided into four groups. The first group consists of four articles on Chinese philosophy and Chinese economics. Chinese classics originally contained much philosophical thought, and this became even more pronounced after classics evolved into the vehicle of Confucian thought. The second group focuses on textual research on Chinese historical issues. In the article on "Fangfeng Shi," we can uncover historical truths amidst the mists of mythology, which is one of the characteristics of ancient Chinese history. The third group of articles involves Mr. Hu Shih, Mr. Fu Miren, and Mr. Dong Yantang, who were either the author's teachers or scholars he once consulted. The fourth group includes several articles on natural sciences, specifically theoretical physics and mathematics.
