Commentary on the Analects
Half of the Analects rule the world", since ancient times, whether among the scholars or among the common people, the book "Analects" is an insurmountable holy text for the Chinese. As the source of Chinese culture, the Analects of Confucius has been impregnated with China's political and religious system, social customs, psychological habits, and behavioral patterns for more than 2,000 years. How can the old texts be revitalized in the new "cultural reconstruction"? The Analects of Chinese Confucianism records the words and deeds of Confucius and his ** more than 2,500 years ago. Mr. Yang Bojun's Translation of the Analects is known for its accurate annotations and plain translations, and is one of the best contemporary readings of the Analects, and enjoys a high reputation among academics and readers. However, because it has been written in traditional Chinese, it has also caused inconvenience to many readers. For this reason, the editors have switched to simplified Chinese to meet the needs of a wide range of readers. As a result of the switch to simplified Chinese, the original individual notes are no longer applicable, and the editors have made corresponding adjustments. The "On Confucius", "Introduction" and "Dictionary of the Analects" in the traditional Chinese version are Mr. Yang Bojun's research experience, and readers who want to study the Analects or ancient Chinese in depth can refer to the Traditional Chinese "Translation of the Analects".

Each chapter is divided into three parts: the original text, the annotations, and the translation, the annotations are accurate, and the translation is fluent and clear, which not only provides a number of research clues for professional researchers, but also facilitates the general readers to correctly understand "** is really a masterpiece of elegance and common appreciation".

The Siege of the City continues Lu Xun's path of cultural criticism of exposing "national character". The laughing and scolding, witty language, the subtle and complex, real and trivial psychological exposure, the novel and convincing rhetorical metaphors, and the multi-layered meanings related to life and emotions have made Mr. Qian Zhongshu's "The Siege" the first of the best-selling companies in China in the past 30 years, and also an unsurpassable masterpiece in the history of modern and contemporary times.

On the Origin of Species
The Origin of Species consists of 15 chapters, with a brief history and an introduction at the beginning. After the introduction, the author introduces the creation and publication process and boldly explains his views on the origin of species, criticizes the views of creationism, and then discusses from chapters 1 to 15 respectively: variation in domestic conditions, variation in natural conditions, the struggle for survival, natural selection as the survival of the fittest, the law of variation, difficulties in doctrine, various objections to the doctrine of natural selection, instinct, hybrids, on the incompleteness of the geological record, on the geological succession of organisms, geographical distribution, Geographical distribution (continued), interkinship of organisms: morphology, embryology, residual organs, repetition and conclusions, etc. In terms of overall structure, the book can be read in three parts. The first part is the main body and core of the book, where he first proposes the theory of natural selection by random variation, marking the establishment of the theory of natural selection. In Part 2, the author imagines challenging the theory of evolution from the standpoint of its opponents and interpreting it accordingly. In the third part, the author uses his theory of evolution based on natural selection to provide a convincing explanation of various phenomena in the evolution of the biological world's geohistory, geographical changes, and embryonic development, which further supports this theory. In the book, the author puts forward such influential views as "natural selection", "survival of the fittest", and "genetic variation", and uses a large amount of data to prove that all kinds of creatures are not created by God, but are constantly developing and changing from simple to complex, from low to high, in the process of heredity, variation, survival struggle, and natural selection. This change is the result of the struggle of contradictions within nature.
Reason for recommendation:
For the first time, "The Origin of Species" based biology on a completely scientific basis, overturned the "creationism" and the theory of invariance of species with a new idea of biological evolution.

Despite its flaws and shortcomings, it is undoubtedly an epoch-making scientific masterpiece and a great revolution in the field of science, so much so that until now the entire history of biology is divided into two periods: pre-Darwinian and post-Darwin. After more than 100 years of controversy, On the Origin of Species triumphed, a triumph of science over religion, and the doctrine of evolution has become an integral part of the progressive worldview of mankind.
