Features: This book is a lecture series written by the author in 1931, covering from the unification of the Qin people to the new policies of Wang Mang, forming an unfinished chronological history. As a master historian, Mr. Qian Mu, with his high-level and comprehensive historical principles, explains in an accessible manner the politics, economy, academia, and culture of the Qin and Han dynasties, highlighting the essence of this brilliant period in Chinese history. As the author states, "Students who attend my lectures should then study the two histories of Ma and Ban to gain a general understanding of the historical records of the Qin and Han dynasties. Even if they specialize in the original histories of Ma and Ban and read my book, it will also be helpful for discussion and research."
