About This Novel
This book tells the story of the development and decline of the Yuan Dynasty. Genghis Khan unified the steppe tribes and transformed them into a country in a nomadic background, and then launched a challenge to civilized society. The author tells how the Mongols, who had strong military power, only lasted for ninety-eight years due to cultural differences and flaws in their governance model. However, in the process, Tibet and Yunnan were added to the Chinese territory, establishing the basic layout of China's territory. The rulers also hope to establish their own cultural model. However, for them who broke into the civilized world directly from the backward grasslands, the only cultural forms they can recognize and understand are almost only religions, which makes them elevate various religions to unprecedented status. The religious policy of the Yuan Dynasty was very relaxed, and some sects that were considered heretics in the past were able to develop well, which directly led to the demise of this powerful empire.
