Features: World history is an important branch of historical studies, focusing on systematically exploring and elaborating on the process by which humanity evolved from primitive, isolated, and scattered groups into a closely interconnected global community. The primary task of world history is to adopt a global perspective, comprehensively examine the history of various regions, countries, and ethnic groups, and utilize the findings of related disciplines such as cultural anthropology and archaeology to study and elucidate the evolution of human history, revealing its patterns and trends. World cultural history requires the cultural knowledge of various regions, countries, and ethnic groups as its foundation for disciplinary development, but it does not encompass the cultural history of all regions, countries, and ethnic groups. As a branch discipline, the content and tasks of world cultural history define it neither as the history of China beyond its borders nor as a comprehensive collection of the cultural histories of all regions, countries, and ethnic groups.
