Features: Chen Wende's "Practical History" series offers history enthusiasts a fresh and enjoyable way to explore history. Through meticulous organization and insightful interpretation, historical figures become more lifelike and relatable, and historical stories become more engaging, practical, and captivating! The core concept of "Practical History" is to view human history as a (or countless) large case study. What is the use of historical experience? Can it be applied? Here, we treat history as material for understanding the social context of human society—or, in other words, we treat history as a "medium." By learning about the situations and solutions of historical figures, we discover a different kind of intellectual joy. "Practical History" deliberately crafts a "path of divergence," aiming to add a familiar, lively, interesting, and useful "new historical journey."
Cao Cao was a mysterious figure in history, once praised by contemporaries as a "capable minister in times of peace and a formidable leader in times of chaos." He was an entrepreneur, strategist, political leader, and military commander. He was also a passionate poet, but historical records, novels, and folk legends offer vastly different evaluations of him. He was bold, passionate, practical, and versatile. He meticulously built his own empire, and his unique business strategies are worth learning from and emulating by modern entrepreneurs.
