Regionality and the Political Situation of the Southern Dynasties: an Examination of the Foundation of Regime and Military Towns

About This Novel

This book is divided into two parts. The first part explores the Yangzhou internal circulation model embodied by the Southern Dynasty regime centered on Jiankang from the perspective of political power. It focuses on analyzing the dependence of the Jiankang regime on Yangzhou and its financial crisis from a financial perspective, as well as the related poverty problem of scholars. At the same time, starting from the relationship between monarchs and ministers, we discuss the relationship between monarchs and ministers in the Southern Dynasties, showing the self-enclosed nature of the regime and the rapid consumption of effective forces in the process of transferring imperial power, thus drawing the conclusion that the regime began to decline after the rise of the metropolitan area and took over Jiankang. The following part starts with the metropolitan area. Analyzing the formation of the independence of the Southern Dynasty's metropolitan areas, the confrontation with the Northern Dynasties allowed the military power to be maintained, and the governorship allowed it to gain financial independence. The relative autonomy of the officials in the jurisdiction and the supply of ordnance from the headquarters made the Southern Dynasty's metropolitan areas evolve into a highly independent "vassal-like town" form.
