Academic

Yi Zhongtian's academic interest spans a variety of disciplines, including literature, visual art, anthropology, and history. He has particular interest in the development of modern Chinese cities.

Yi Zhongtian's published works often focussed on poplarising academic subjects. This has caused some controversy, but has also led to the popularity of his books. Yi Zhongtian became a household name after the success of his appearance on CCTV-10's Lecture Room program in 2005. His series of lectures on personalities of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms were very successful, but also roused some controversy about the academic quality of his lectures.
