全景中国：湖南—名人的星空（英）

　　The province of Hunan has nurtured many famous historical figures-from Emperor Yan who created the culture and history of south China to Mao Zedong， founder of the People's Repub lic of China; from the poet states man Qu Yuan who dedicated his life to his country to Wei Yuan who advocated "studying enemy technology to use against the enemy;" from Cai Lun who in vented the world's first paper to Yuan Longping， the "father of hy brid rice".　All are inheritors of the Hunanese spirit of patriotism and innovation-an influence on China's past， an influence on its present. They are like bright stars at night， sparkling in the sky of history， an inspiration to all both now and for the future. Be low these resplendent skies， now as ever， Hunan continues to perpetuate their spirit. It is easy to have a auick look at China's past and present， but it takes time to gain a panoramic knowledge of China. The "Pan oramic China" series is meant to assist readers， especially those overseas， in this respect. Each volume in the series focuses on a province， municipality or autono mous region， describing， with illustrations， the outstanding char acteristics of each area from dif ferent perspectives.
