About This Novel
This book contains twenty-nine papers written by the author over the years on ethnic issues on the frontier in the Middle Ages. It fully combines slips, stone carvings and traditional historical materials, and is divided into four themes: "frontiers and center", "discovery and imagination", "names and traditions" and "epitaphs and history". It provides in-depth and precise discussions on important issues such as the nomadic geography of the Han and Tang dynasties, the historical changes of the southern ethnic groups in the Middle Ages, the political development and cultural transformation of the Northern people during the Sixteen Kingdoms and Northern Dynasties, and the investigation and research of the epitaphs inscribed on stone tablets in the Northern Dynasties. The book is rich in material and clear in discussion. It not only contains in-depth excavation and rigorous textual research of historical materials, but also contains reasonable imagination of historical figures and events, demonstrating a solid historical foundation and touching historian's feelings.
