Features: Talent is a crucial element for any society. For a society to prosper and progress, it must rely on a large number of outstanding talents, and whether talent can grow depends on a suitable social environment. This book reveals such a dialectical relationship through historical examples. The Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were the longest period of division in Chinese history, marked by social turmoil, frequent wars, and institutional replacements, yet they produced several generations of outstanding talents with different identities, fields, and expertise. How could such a highly unfavorable social environment give rise to such a flourishing scene of talent? What were the underlying reasons and mechanisms? These are the questions this book delves into in depth. The book features original material and meticulous thinking, making it a rigorous and substantial historical study that offers significant insights for those researching the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
