Features: Humans have always lived within the shadows of history. The shadows of history stretch far and wide—far back to the faint footprints of our primitive ancestors as they moved towards civilization, and close to events that just happened yesterday. We need to reminisce because of our forgetfulness, and the purpose of reminiscing is to gain something new from it. From Wenggu, careful readers can all sense what kind of reminiscing we truly need. Confucius once said, "By reminiscing, one learns something new." Though simple in words, it was like a sudden awakening. Wenggu is a series of historical and cultural publications released periodically. It is published four times a year. Wenggu reflects on and examines the past from today's perspective, providing a reference for present existence and future development. This is the essence of "reminiscing to learn something new." This book expresses a longing for the past survival of humanity, an examination and reflection on history, and a revisitation of historical and cultural relics and remaining texts.
