The Dusk of the Southern Song Dynasty: the Era of Song Guangzong and Song Ningzong
by Yu Yunguo
About This Novel
Examine the reigns of Song Guangzong and Song Ningzong from a broader historical perspective: Mongolian cavalry marched westward and southward, invincible, Western Liao and Khwarezmo were destroyed, Xixia, Jin Dynasty, and Korea sued for peace... However, the Southern Song Dynasty completely lacked a sense of realistic crisis. When future generations read history to this point, they cannot but feel sad and worried about the Southern Song Dynasty. In a sense, every emperor is a microcosm of the era he ruled. As an integral part of the entire historical research, the research on historical figures has the widest reader coverage compared to highly professional topics such as institutional history and economic history. This book selects two emperors, Guangzong and Ningzong of the Song Dynasty, who are not very well-known, as the research subjects. It comprehensively displays the political and social issues in the middle period of the Southern Song Dynasty, and also analyzes the process and reasons of the decline of the Southern Song Dynasty during the Guangning and Ning dynasties.
