Organized by UCASS, the event was co-hosted by the Journal of UCASS Editorial Office and the UCASS School of History, with the support of the Historiography Bimonthly Editorial Office. It brought together key attendees such as Gao Wenshu, Member of UCASS Party Standing Committee and Vice President of UCASS; Bu Xianqun, Member of CASS and President of the Chinese Society of Qin and Han History; and Zhan Long, Assistant President of UCASS and Executive Dean of UCASS School of History.
