Features: This book systematically, comprehensively, and deeply elaborates on the history of cultural exchange between China, North Korea, and South Korea over thousands of years. It is divided into four parts: Ancient, Modern, Contemporary, and Recent. The content covers various aspects of exchange, including political systems, law, philosophy, religion, education, literature, language, art, books, science and technology, etiquette, and customs. The timeline is very long. The system is highly systematic, the content is extremely broad, the elaboration is profoundly insightful, and the research is extremely solid. It not only provides thorough and in-depth discussions on the areas of exchange where scholars from China, North Korea, and South Korea have reached consensus but also, based on historical documents and archaeological artifacts, meticulously examines and draws correct and reasonable conclusions on some areas where the teaching perspectives of the three countries differ (such as the invention of printing). The book is written in clear and readable language. With nearly a million words, it is the first large-scale work in China to comprehensively, systematically, and deeply explore the millennia-old cultural exchange between China, North Korea, and South Korea.
