Features: In 2006, Chinese television produced a group of scholar celebrities. A number of professors and scholars stepped out of the campus and onto the screen. In the past, they claimed not to watch television or watch it only occasionally, but now many viewers saw them on TV, where they spoke eloquently, witty, and wise. Their vivid narration of China's five-thousand-year history and culture became a highlight of the 2006 Chinese television screen. Moreover, their scripts for TV programs were favored by publishers and were compiled into best-selling books. The publication of Professor Yi Zhongtian's Commentary on the Three Kingdoms was a major event in the publishing industry in 2006. This book is a commentary on the Kangxi Emperor by the scholar celebrity, Professor Ji Lianhai.
