Features: Humanities refer to the various cultural phenomena in human society. China refers to the collective name of the 56 ethnic groups in our country. Humanistic China has a long history, once glorious, now splendid, and tomorrow's brilliance; 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 "Humanistic China" series, aiming to enhance the understanding and appreciation of various cultures of the Chinese nation, both ancient and modern, through popular and engaging visuals, thereby improving readers' cultural literacy and inspiring their passion for loving China. We sincerely hope that scholars and experts can contribute to the "Humanistic China" series in their academic pursuits. If you are willing to share works that align with the series' style, we would be deeply grateful.
