Features: A History of the Middle East adopts the format of a national general history to capture the overall picture of the Middle East region, distinguishing itself from the framework structures of existing Middle Eastern history works. Understanding the overall character of a region generally follows an ascending line of "general" – "special" – "general" in the learning process. Writing regional history can be done either vertically along the historical development of the "large region" as the "general" and "special," or horizontally along the political, economic, social, and cultural aspects of the "large region" as the "general" and "special." This book, guided by the theory of civilizational exchange, systematically and comprehensively outlines the historical changes, developmental trajectory, and characteristics and patterns of civilizational exchange in Egypt. The content covers an overview of Egypt, civilization and culture in the Pharaonic era, medieval Islamic Egypt, the impact of the West and Egypt's Westernization, the Nasser Revolution, Egypt's comprehensive transformation, and the history of China-Egypt relations, among others.
