This Tang Dynasty is so Interesting (volume 4): from the Hidden Worries of the Prosperous Age to the Anshi Rebellion
About This Novel
"This Tang Dynasty is So Interesting" mainly tells some stories about the Tang Dynasty in the three hundred years from 607 to 907. It is based on official history and supplemented by unofficial historical papers. It takes the chronology and main tasks as the main line, and adopts the narrative form of novels and stand-up comics. It is a panoramic display of the lives of the twenty-first emperors of the Tang Dynasty, as well as civil servants, generals, and common people, as well as an explanation and evaluation of the political and economic system of the Tang Dynasty. It is a painstaking work that the author spent five years creating. It can also be regarded as a work that accurately talks about the history of the Tang Dynasty in vernacular. The fourth volume mainly covers the foreign wars during the Tianbao period, the political struggles between Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, An Lushan and the Anshi Rebellion. The prosperous age of Kaiyuan pushed the prosperity and strength of the Tang Dynasty to the extreme, but it was inevitable that the prosperity would decline. The frequent foreign wars during the Tianbao period and the political struggles between Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, and An Lushan eventually led to the Anshi Rebellion that destroyed everything. The famous generals Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi came out at the right time to turn the tide and fight against the arrogant An Lushan and Shi Siming. Concubine Yang Guifei, Li Bai, and other legendary figures also shined with their unconcealable light in the transition from prosperous times to troubled times.
