Features: The speed and direction of the world's movement are largely determined by geographical and natural conditions. Beyond these, there are racial characteristics. We likely possess the main components of this raw material, which gradually weaves into history under the influence of various internal and external dynamics. The process of creation can be glimpsed in the progression of events; however, in both current history and the entire past, these events contain a vast amount of details. These details, due to their diverse and conflicting developmental directions, not only confuse the investigators but also create a completely chaotic sense, obscuring the decisive conditions. At first glance, these conditions are entirely concealed. Nevertheless, these conditions always exist; they influence and constrain all events, while the events themselves often appear chaotically interwoven, lacking any sufficient guiding force.
