About This Novel

After reading the Three Kingdoms, I want to read the Two Jins and Sixteen Kingdoms - the most chaotic era in Chinese history. This book is written from the founding of the Western Jin Dynasty in 265 AD to the fall of Northern Liang in 439 AD, a period of 174 years, including the four stages of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the early years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Southern Dynasty and Song Dynasty. The book covers more than 70 countries, nearly 200 monarchs, more than 300 generals and counselors with distinctive personalities, more than 400 wars, more than 100 coups, more than 40 allusions, and countless strategies of great and small power. The article contains many incisive discussions and analyzes of the social situation and future development by outstanding politicians, diplomats, and military strategists, as well as summaries and reflections of experience and lessons by losers. Of course, tragic and heroic stories, emotional and passionate scenes are also indispensable. This is a historical drama, a stage where heroes gather.

Cutting corners

I omitted a bunch of Jin books. Is this because of trade-offs? But you don't want to give up the nonsense?
