Features: These four volumes of the Collected Works are largely essays on Chinese historiography, cultural history, and intellectual history, though a few discuss Western history and culture. The writing period spans from the 1950s to the recent one or two years. Over this half-century, the author's knowledge and thoughts have undergone significant changes and developments. If the author were to rewrite these essays with today's understanding, they would certainly present a different appearance. However, whether it is rewriting or thorough revision, it is practically impossible. The author can only publish the old works anew to preserve their authenticity.
