(The picture is "The Chinese View of the Overall Situation": written by Mu Tao; published by Shaanxi Normal University Press) The author uses fluent language to share historical wisdom with contemporary readers at the level of common sense and show the beauty of culture. The writer Mu Tao has been engaged in historical prose writing for many years, and this book "The Chinese View of the Overall Situation" is the author's latest achievement. Thanks to years of systematic study, the author has much insight into the history of the Pre Qin and Han Dynasties, and his comments are positive; The prose style is solid and transparent, with a common sense perspective. During the opening and closing of the exhibition, the readers are exposed to the historical scene of classic construction, learn from historical wisdom and feel the pulse of civilization. If we say that every civilization has its own code, then the literary and historical classics are the "code book" of civilization. The author is not satisfied with the Han Dynasty, but traces back to the pre Qin classics. The first edition of this book focuses on Spring and Autumn Annals, the second edition focuses on Shangshu and the Book of Songs, and the last edition traces back to ancient history to explore the origin of Chinese civilization. The author goes deeper and deeper from the Four Elephants, the Four Seasons, the Dragon Boat Festival, the 24 Solar Terms to the astronomical calendar, and then explores the historical significance of the Spring and Autumn Period. The author entered the classics not for academic purposes or even for writing, but for the respect and exploration of the national history by an ordinary Chinese. The book starts with the theme of "time", starting with the original timing tool "watch": "The stick is vertically erected on the ground, and the 'time' is captured immediately.". Time is calculated by grid, so there is "time". The author understands the solar terms and seasons and the cultural connotation behind them by combining the characters, meanings, customs and folk customs, and believes that the ancients' understanding of the natural phenomena between heaven and earth is obviously limited by scientific ability today, but the philosophical thinking contained in it is also quite attractive. From time measurement to seasonal calendar, from celestial phenomena observation to 500m spherical radio telescope... It is a penetrating feeling of "so it is" to cut through objects gradually. Entering the classics, we can re understand those familiar historical cultures - the world, the four seasons, the family, the country and the world. We can connect the scattered knowledge points into a line and a network, so as to understand the origin of history and the logic of culture. It makes us find and understand, and review the past to learn the new. Narrative literature stresses the spirit of seeing people and things, and historical prose is no exception. The author never forgets "Chinese wisdom" when he goes boating on the sea. After analyzing the story of "Paoding Jieniu", the author proposed that the article should be "pertinent". Besides grasping the rules, the key lies in the process of sharpening. "The process sharpens people and also cultivates people". When it comes to the Silk Road, the author cites Chinese and foreign literature to analyze its connotation and enumerates the great circulation of Chinese and foreign products brought about by the Silk Road; At the same time, "the Silk Road has to be broadened and expanded, which follows the local conditions and is closely related to the people's livelihood." The author talks about the imperial examination from the perspective of the imperial examination system in the Han Dynasty, and believes that the imperial examination system had its progressive significance under the historical conditions at that time: selecting talents through examinations was conducive to the mobility of the class; The study of classics is a good training of knowledge and ability for officials, which is beneficial to national governance, and promotes the formation of the Chinese tradition of attaching importance to reading, so as to find a historical basis for the construction of a "scholarly China". The author is good at grasping key details and interpreting historical and cultural connotation. According to the record of "taking jade as a weapon" in Yuejueshu, the author points out that
