Features: Humanities refer to the various cultural phenomena of human society. China, known as Zhonghua, is the collective name for the 56 ethnic groups in our country. The humanities of Zhonghua have a long history, once glorious, now splendid, and bright tomorrow; it spans a vast space, with numerous ethnic groups, diverse and unique in the East. Philosophy, economy, military, science and technology, law, ethics, education, ethnicity, religion, literature, archaeology, cultural relics, and folk customs have evolved in the long river of history, accumulating an immeasurable wealth.
Traveling through the time tunnel and wandering on a cultural journey, we gather the scattered fragments of civilization across the land of China, reflecting on the past and looking forward to the future. Following the direction of advanced culture, we present the "Humanities of Zhonghua" series, allowing readers to deepen their understanding and appreciation of the various cultures of the Chinese nation through popular and interesting illustrations. This aims to enhance their cultural literacy and inspire their passion for loving China. We sincerely hope that experts and scholars can contribute to the "Humanities of Zhonghua" series in their spare time. If you are willing to share works that align with the style of this series, we would be greatly grateful.
