The Collapse and Expansion of China: Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties
About This Novel
This book is a volume of the "Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties" series of "China's History" published by Kodansha. "The History of China" is a gift for the 100th anniversary of Kodansha Japan. It is a general history of China written by Japanese historians for the public. Most of the works are cleverly conceived, but at the same time they draw on many academic achievements in recent years and make use of the latest unearthed historical materials. They are a set of blockbuster historical works that are both readable and serious. The author of this volume focuses on the formation process of the Han nation and the nature of Chinese civilization during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, which were sandwiched between the two unified empires of the Han and Tang Dynasties; the interactive relationship and influence between surrounding areas such as Japan, Goguryeo, and Baekje and "Chinese civilization" at that time. Unlike many domestic scholars, Yoshiaki Kawamoto broke the restrictions of nationality and tried to interpret this history from the perspective of the "East Asian world", which will help us better understand the spread and acceptance of Chinese civilization, as well as the complex interactive relationships between nations brought about by the spread of this civilization.
