About This Novel
From primitive society to the early Spring and Autumn Period, thousands of years of "Government by Virtue" have left behind the beautiful memories of "Ming Jun" and "Holy Lord" for future generations. After personal struggle became the trend of the times, Liu Bang and several generations of his descendants forged ahead with determination, defeated the Xiongnu, and rose to power. After the prosperity of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, military generals governed the country. The two Song dynasties emphasized culture and suppressed military power, resulting in poverty and weakness. The Yuan Dynasty unified the world, but it only lasted a hundred years. The Ming Dynasty started with prosperity, but it was difficult to sustain the prosperity for a long time. The Qing Dynasty inherited the Ming Dynasty, but imposed cultural autocracy on the Han people. Although it entered a prosperous age, it formed a society in which "the upper class was arrogant and the lower class was numb", and ancient China was heading for destruction. The author uses popular and interesting words to talk about the internal affairs and diplomacy, economic and trade science and technology, culture and art, customs and folk sentiments of the past dynasties, from singing and dancing to the flames of war, from inside and outside the Great Wall to the north and south of the Yangtze River, spanning thousands of years, and spanning various dynasties... This book takes a new approach, starting from a unique perspective, sorting out the context and patterns behind history while talking and laughing.
