Features: Attempting to describe and explain the past of humanity is the work of historians, and for China, this great nation with thousands of years of civilization, history takes on the task of doing so. This beautifully illustrated social history of China attempts to highlight the fundamental aspects of Chinese history from prehistoric times to before 1949, with the main focus on three aspects: social change, social structure, and social life. Each era is supported by its unique content, forming its distinctive framework and style. The authors combine a rigorous scientific attitude with a lively and engaging presentation. They emphasize knowledge but do not limit themselves to a general knowledge book; they emphasize academic foundations but are not purely academic works. Highly readable, yet not "" that contradicts historical facts. With personal insights, yet not just novelty-driven, speculative arguments or superficial, ornamental writing. Through this, the powerful vitality that history should possess in the public mind is naturally brought to the fore.
