Features: The Qing Dynasty, as the last stop of feudal society, though its fate was declining, still had many talented figures. You should not be unfamiliar with Zheng Banqiao, Liu Luoguo, Ji Xiaolan, Heshun, Kang Youwei, and Liang Qichao, but have you heard of Gu Hongming, Wang Erlie, and Shen Zongzhi? If you don’t know much about these people, then you can take this opportunity to learn more about them. This book is compiled after carefully selecting historical and literary materials. These Qing Dynasty talents either held great power, made a name for themselves, dominated a region, or were wealthy in their local areas. Of course, there were both good and bad people among them; officials, merchants, soldiers, and scholars. Although it is often said that "life is like a dream and the past is like smoke," in reality, life is not always a dream, and the past is not always like smoke. Especially for the life experiences and complex worlds of those who lived during major upheavals and turning points in history, later generations need even more understanding and recognition. This book examines the rise and fall of Confucianism through historical details.
