The History of the Jin Dynasty I Had to Stay up All Night to Read
by Qin Shiyong
About This Novel
The presence of the Western and Eastern Jin Dynasties in Chinese history is relatively low, especially the Western Jin Dynasty. Although it merged with the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, and was known as a unified dynasty, it was full of calculations, and its kingdom was only 51 years old. If it started with the destruction of Dongwu, it would only have been in power for 37 years, which was far from being compared with the Western Han Dynasty. The Kingdom of Zuo in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was a little longer, more than a hundred years old, but it only defended the southern half of the Yangtze River. During the founding of the country, it was in turmoil, with powerful enemies coveting it from outside, and powerful officials inside who were domineering and cowardly. The Eastern Jin Dynasty left a mark in history mainly because of its famous celebrities and the fragrance of calligraphy and painting. In view of this, this book uses heavy ink and color to illustrate the wealth and corruption of the Western Jin Dynasty, and then uses meticulous brushwork to describe the romance and demise of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
