This book attempts to delineate over two millennia of Chinese history across eight comprehensive segments. The author systematically organizes certain issues within Chinese history, ranging from the Qin and Han dynasties to the eve of the Xinhai Revolution, covering aspects such as politics, institutions, culture, and civilizational interactions, as well as historical phenomena that emerged on the eve of the 20th century. The aim is to provide readers with a preliminary understanding and reflection on significant historical junctures and events.
