by Wen Chunlai
About This Novel
China has maintained a unified system for a long time, which is a unique phenomenon in the history of human civilization and one of the fundamental issues in the study of Chinese history. This book examines the historical process of the two major Yi monarchs, Shuixi and Wusa, gradually integrating into the unified dynastic order from the Song Dynasty to the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and then extracts the analytical model of "foreign territory" - "jisu" - "Xinjiang" - "old territory" from China's own historical experience and discourse, to understand the development process of dynasty China in the south, and to discover the subjectivity of the non-Han people, so as to reveal the complex historical aspects obscured by the grand narrative of "dynasty-centered view".
