About This Novel
"Tolerance and Stubbornness" centers on the growth path, life experience and social activities of Sima Guang, a historian, politician and great Confucian of the Northern Song Dynasty. It tells the historical changes of the five dynasties that his life spanned from Zhenzong, Renzong, Yingzong, Shenzong to Zhezong, as well as the interactions, grievances and entanglements of famous officials in the political arena of the Northern Song Dynasty such as Wang Anshi, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Bao Zheng and the Su Shi brothers. "Fireworks in the World - Daily Life and Life Buried in History" is a popular historical work that interprets the history of daily life in ancient China in a simple and in-depth way. The author provides a thorough interpretation and in-depth care of the fate of individuals in ancient history from the microscopic perspective of ancient people's clothing, food, housing, transportation, walking, sitting, and lying down. "Laws and Human Hearts - The Interaction between People and Systems in the Imperial Period" is a popular book for ordinary readers that comprehensively explains the entanglements between people and systems in the imperial period, based on 30 years of historical research by teacher Zhao Dongmei, an expert on Song history from Peking University. This book consists of three parts: institutional history, cultural history, and intensive reading of historical works. The author changes the serious stereotype of institutional narratives, and uses a relaxed and lively way to think about institutional changes, understand the gains and losses of previous institutions, and tell the relationship between the system and people at different levels from national stories, group stories, and individual stories. Compared with other writers of institutional history, the author puts more emphasis on "paying attention to the life and destiny of individuals from a historical perspective."
