What good general history books are recommended?

1, The Course of Beauty by Li Zehou, Cultural Relics Publishing House, 198 1 edition.

Li Zehou, the enlightener of China's open era. His thoughts will be surpassed, but the propositions such as "Confucianism and Taoism complement each other", "Beauty is accumulating", "Witchcraft History Tradition" and "Emotional Ontology" are still meaningful today. And this beautiful "The Course of Beauty" is actually the best introductory reading for the general history loved by aesthetic education.

2. Qian Mu's Outline of National History, Commercial Press, 1996 edition.

China's general history is full of feelings, but at the same time he needs to guard against his cultural narcissism complex. It is better to read Lv Simian's A General History of Lu China, but the latter is not written by a novice, so we should observe its methods and ideas.

3. Qin Hui's Ten Theories on Tradition: System, Culture and Its Transformation in Rural Society, Fudan University Press, 2004.

Qin Gui is an intellectual who has overflowed the historical circle. This book is the most profound work about the true nature of China's traditional legalists, and it also puts forward constructive ideas for China today and in the future. Freshman can choose to read the second chapter "Big * * * Homotypic Standard" and "Traditional China Society".

4. Wang's General History of China, East China Normal University Press, 2000.

Out of dissatisfaction with the current general history textbook in China, it is written for graduate students. However, as a flood and scarce general theory book, at least the first three sections of the first book and the whole article of the second book are worthy of recommendation, and it has a unique perspective on agricultural property rights, and it is very suitable for beginners to read by bibliography.

5. Yu Yingshi Scholars and China Culture, Shanghai People's Publishing House, 2003.

Compared with the 1987 edition, the representative figures of contemporary neo-Confucianism and their masterpieces have increased by 5 articles. Exploring the tension and cooperation between Tao and potential leads to the core of China's cultural history. Its main idea of advocating subjectivity is more meaningful today.

6. Wang Xuetai's Wandering Culture and China Society (Revised Edition), Tongxin Publishing House, 2007.

Pioneering exploration of the reorientation of vagrant culture in agricultural China reveals the other side of traditional China, and Mr. Li's evaluation of "discovering another China" is correct.
