The Road to the Throne
This is the story of the rise of Emperor Gaozu, his alliances and his rivalries, and the priceless partnership provided by his chief military strategist Zhang Liang, who planned victorious campaigns from 1000 miles distance; Xiao He, who stabilized the state, pacified the people, and assured the food supply to the army; and General Han Xin, who commanded the Han army in its conquest of the State of Wei, the State of Zhao, the State of Yan and the State of Qi and played a great role in the defeat of Xiang Yu. Most of the material used in writing The Road to the Throne are taken from the Records of the Grand Historian (Chinese: 史記 or shiji) by the great Sima Qian (145 BC to 85 BC) of the E...
The Age of Courtly Writing
Scholarship on Xiao Tong in both China and the West has paid little attention to his own writings beyond the influential anthology compiled by the Liang Crown Prince. Adopting a philological approach, this book thorougly examines a multitude of texts written by Xiao Tong and his entourage, many of whom were powerful writers in their own right. In addition to drawing a picture of important aspects of Liang court culture such as education, literary composition, personal relations, and ideological and religious trends, this study also redresses a long-standing bias against court poetry. It will enhance our understanding not only of the early sixth-century but also, indirectly, of a significant portion of pre-modern Chinese literature in general.

Book of Song and South Qi Dynasty
The Twenty-Four Histories (Chinese: 二十四史) are the Chinese official historical books covering a period from 3000 BC to the Ming dynasty in the 17th century. The Han dynasty official Sima Qian established many of the conventions of the genre. Starting with the Tang dynasty, each dynasty established an official office to write the history of its predecessor using official court records. As fixed and edited in the Qing dynasty, the whole set contains 3213 volumes and about 40 million words. It is considered one of the most important sources on Chinese history and culture. The title "Twenty-Four Histories" dates from 1775 which was the 40th year in the reign of the Qianlong Emperor. This ...
Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease in the New Era: Epidemiology, Treatment, and Economics
Advancements in the treatment for diabetes and cardiovascular complications in the last decade completely changed the landscape of these diseases. Newly developed medications significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications and slow down the progression of diabetes, while innovative surgical technologies substantially improve the survival rates from the lethal complications. However, the emergence of advanced techniques comes with high expenses, which create huge barriers for access and worsens the disparity in health outcomes. Meanwhile, the use of these technologies calls for post-marketing surveillance in real world. How did new technologies adapt in the developed/developing ...

Low-Carbon Oriented Improvement Strategy for Flexibility and Resiliency of Multi-Energy Systems
Due to the inherent volatility and randomness, the increasing share of energy from renewable resources presents a challenge to the operation of multi-energy systems with heterogeneous energy carriers such as electricity, heat, hydrogen, etc. These factors will make the systems hard to adjust their supply and demand flexibly to maintain energy balance to ensure reliability. Further, this hinders the development of a low-carbon and economically viable energy system. By making full use of the synergistic interaction of generation, transmission, load demand, and energy storage, a three-fold approach focused on quantifying demand flexibility, evaluating supply capabilities, and enhancing resilien...
