Joking About Empire

About This Novel

A long historical novel written with a modern perspective and humorous writing style, it vividly reproduces the troubled times of more than seventy years from the collapse of the late Tang Dynasty to the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty. The work is based on popular narrative and follows the principle of "doing the big things and not the small things". Through multiple perspectives and vivid details, the work leads readers to experience the violent uprising of Huang Chao, Zhu Wen's conspiracy to usurp the Tang Dynasty, the humiliation of Shi Jingtang's cession of Yanyun, the tragedy of Chai Rong's Northern Expedition and the changes of Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao's mutiny. The novel not only depicts the cruel power game of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in which "the one with strong soldiers and horses is the emperor", but also deeply analyzes the historical undercurrent of how military dictatorship came to an end and how civilian politics reshaped order. From the dreams of the prosperous times in Chang'an to the morning bells and evening drums in Bianliang, from the southern descent of Shatuo's cavalry to the low chants of Jiangnan poets, this work injects human warmth into the grand epic, seeks the dawn of unity in the chaotic dust, and unfolds for readers a magnificent and full-blooded picture of troubled times.
