Abstract:
What does it mean to expel the Tartars and restore China? Is "China" suppressed by "Inner Asia"? The conflict between the Tartars and the Chinese went through the Xiongnu and the Han, the Five Barbarians and the Southern Dynasties, the Xianbei Turks and the Tang Dynasty, the Mongols and the Song Dynasty, the Manchuria and the Ming Dynasty, and the movement of the Revolution of 1911 to exclude the Manchus and revitalize the Han Dynasty, and finally in this century-old modern nation-state It "seems" to be solved under the system. However, is there really no problem anymore? To understand the truth, we need to listen to the voices and perspectives outside the Great Wall.
