Features: "Click on China – This Day in History" is a large-scale historical book primarily aimed at introducing important figures and events in Chinese history, enriching readers' knowledge of cultural, historical, and scientific heritage, and promoting patriotism while disseminating the splendid and long-standing civilization of the Chinese nation. The content of this book is mainly divided into three parts: historical figures, historical events, and ethnic festivals. The section on historical figures compiles the biographies of deceased important figures from the Western Zhou Dynasty (8th century BC) to the end of 2001. The section on historical events compiles significant events in Chinese history from the Western Zhou Dynasty (8th century BC) to the end of 2001, with a particular focus on events that occurred over the past 300 years. The section on ethnic (folk) festivals includes important holidays of the Han ethnic group and some minority ethnic groups, as well as important anniversaries and national holidays. Except for some legendary and imaginative content in the section on ethnic festivals, the historical figures and events are based on authoritative historical sources and are written with a commitment to historical accuracy, without any fictional elements. During the writing process, careful research was conducted on historical data, and efforts were made to incorporate the latest research findings. For historical issues with differing interpretations, the main viewpoint is presented, while alternative viewpoints are also included. The entire book emphasizes objectivity, correctness, scientificity, academic rigor, contemporaneity, and readability.
