Features: Briefly, this book has made new explorations in content, structure, and format. Its characteristics are as follows: First, it incorporates recent academic achievements. While adopting new findings, it also considers the need for stability in textbooks, ensuring that content is updated without arbitrarily introducing novelty. For views and theories that are still controversial, undecided, and yet influential in academia, they are temporarily excluded from the main text and included in footnotes as "Alternative Perspectives." This approach helps students broaden their horizons and develop independent thinking, while also providing insights into academic trends for、、. Second, it has shifted away from the previous overemphasis on political history, giving more attention to economics and culture.
