Features: In the various disciplines of Chinese periodical history studies, the Yuan Dynasty stands out as an international project. This is because the historical activities of the Mongol people during this period hold a uniquely global significance. The Yuan Dynasty, which established its capital in what is now Beijing, not only achieved the unification of the nation but also expanded outward, reaching as far as Eastern Europe today, where it founded the Khaganates of Chagatai, Kipchak, and Ilkhanate. These endeavors significantly influenced the historical trajectories of various ethnic groups in these regions while also advancing the internal and external exchanges of China's traditional political economy and intellectual culture to a higher and broader level. For this reason, a comprehensive understanding and research of the history of the Yuan Dynasty and the activities of the Mongol people necessitate references beyond traditional historical records. The author of this book, a renowned sinologist, has written this monumental work in French, drawing upon a wealth of Arabic and Persian historical sources. It not only provides a detailed account of the Mongol people's activities in Central Asia, West Asia, and Europe but also offers abundant reference materials for the study and application of traditional works such as the History of the Yuan Dynasty. As a result, it has earned high praise from scholars both in China and abroad and has been widely used.
