Features: Professor Li Hengmei's Collected Essays on Pre-Qin History was published in 1999. This book immediately garnered significant attention from the academic community, particularly the field of history, due to the innovative insights it offered, earning widespread praise. The book compiles most of Professor Li's academic works, and its academic significance is as recognized by Mr. Li Xueqin in his preface to the book, stating that it "made special contributions to the study of Pre-Qin history." Due to the limitations of the book's scope, some of Professor Li's important works were not included, especially those published after 1999, which leaves readers with considerable regret. Three years after the publication of Collected Essays on Pre-Qin History, a sequel titled Continued Collection was published under the guidance of Professor Guo Mingqin, Professor Li's wife. This is a major event in academia, not only providing valuable materials for studying Professor Li's academic thought but also serving as an important reference for Pre-Qin history research. His brilliant essays on the succession system of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Zhaomu system, marriage customs from the primitive era to the Spring and Autumn period, and other topics in his Collected Essays and Continued Collection are clear evidence of his dedicated scholarship. This book is a sequel to the author's Collected Essays on Pre-Qin History, featuring dozens of essays by the author on Pre-Qin history.
