Features: Attempting to describe and explain the past of humanity is the work of historians, and for China, this great nation with thousands of years of civilization, history takes on the task of describing and explaining it. This beautifully illustrated social history of China attempts to highlight the basic outline of Chinese history from prehistoric times to before 1949, with the main focus on three aspects: social change, social structure, and social life. Each era is supported by its unique content, forming a distinctive framework and style. The authors combine a rigorous scientific attitude with a lively and engaging presentation style. They emphasize knowledge but do not limit themselves to a general knowledge book; they emphasize academic foundations but do not write a purely academic work. Highly readable, yet not a "" that contradicts historical facts. With personal insights, yet not just novelty-driven, speculative arguments or superficial, showy writing. As a result, the powerful vitality that history should have in the public mind is naturally brought to the fore.
