王国时代的智慧全书 A Comprehensive Book of Wisdom From the Era of Kingdoms

作者谢选骏构思本书于1975年，完成于2010年，连绵了三十五年头。其动机开始于从《春秋-左传》中发现了"先秦王国时代"的精神与"秦后帝国时代"的差异，其主旨在于通过阅读《左传》来阐扬"先秦王国时代"的精神、克服"秦后帝国时代"的弊端。因为在作者谢选骏看来，"先秦王国时代"的精神，具有封建骑士的美德，他们不愿苟活的精神，全然不同于几百年来"识时务者为俊杰"的"好死不如赖活着"的中国人，而接近欧洲甚至日本的现代化前夜的社会风尚。这种"先秦王国时代"的精神，真正有助于中国的现代化。 Synopsis: By reading Zuo's Version of the Spring and Autumn Annals， Xie Xuanjun the author detects the difference between the ethos of the Pre-Qin Kingdoms era and that of the Post-Qin Imperial era. The author elucidates the former and points out the drawbacks of the latter. The author believes that the spirit of the Pre-Qin Kingdoms era represents the integrity of the feudal knights and is close to the social ethos of the pre-modern Europe and even Japan. The spirit of the Pre-Qin Kingdoms era is, therefore, conducive to the modernization of China.
