Historical Records That You Can Understand at a Glance
by Wen Boling
About This Novel
Xiang Yu was defeated at Wujiang, and everyone lamented it. Even the great poet Du Mu in later generations also wrote poems and lamented him. If Xiang Yu had crossed the Wujiang River, could he have defeated Liu Bang and rewritten history? As rich and powerful as the Qin State, it was able to dominate the world during the Warring States Period when there were many powerful countries, but it could not rest on the country it had built with its own hands. Why did it perish after its short life in the second generation? Shang Yang's reforms laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of Qin. It should have been a great achievement, but Shang Yang himself met a tragic end. Why on earth was this? Many people say that this is because China was a large agricultural country in ancient times, so China has been focusing on agriculture and suppressing business since ancient times. This is indeed true, but are there other reasons besides this? The author Wen Boling will explain the above issues for you one by one in this book. This time he will give you a thorough introduction to the historical classic "Historical Records". Under the author Wen Boling's pen, "Historical Records" is no longer the general interpretation that you usually see, "Liu Bang was able to accomplish things because he knew how to employ people" and "The Qin Dynasty fell because Qin II was mediocre and cruel." It is also not a "running account" compiled according to time. Instead, it uses thematic methods to connect time, historical materials, and clarify the context, helping you to see the cause and effect of the whole thing clearly, looking at history from multiple dimensions, and giving history different ways to open it. Coupled with the author's "historical joker" style of funny writing, you will gain knowledge while laughing and easily understand "Historical Records".

Young Master Xiaobai is Duke Huan of Qi.
The favor order is not that powerful. The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. How do others think of you when you are so obvious about cheating on your uncles and brothers? And you yourself have said that the vassals are not my vassals, so some bastards originally had nothing, but now the law allows princes and kings to share their property with other children, so if they give more children, they will definitely be more grateful to the family. If you delegate the power of rewards and punishments, who will still listen to you? That's why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to spend money to win the title, and he would never extend his favor in the future. This was also the most critical reason why Emperor Wen didn't need to extend his favor order, not to mention that after the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, the vassal states had no strength at all. They just had to take their time. Is this kind of thing necessary?
This book is really well written and has the author's own point of view; it is absolutely fair and true compared to historical data.
For me, a mediocre person who doesn't understand history, it's very interesting.
If you can't read serious literary works, but want to learn and enrich yourself, this book is very good.
Side dishes
Historical Records is definitely worth reading. It's a pity that the reading ability is estimated to be less than seven or eight graduate students. It's just a side dish to read. Civilized self-confidence and the vast ocean. It is difficult for an individual's destiny to influence the times, but there are always trendsetters who play with the pulse of the times.

When new books are released, search for Zhao Xiang and you can read seven books. Book review People set a goal for themselves, no matter how difficult it is, but there is a direction. As the road of life, people can move forward. Although imagination and dreams do not match reality, people who are halfway through the journey will be better off than those who have never moved forward. People know the direction, but it does not mean that the final result is the completion of the original goal. Maybe in the process of moving forward, what people see and hear will interest them, deviate from the original intention, go to another path, and achieve success through their own efforts. Therefore, whether self-denial will not be completed, or whether it will be completed, it is still unknown. This will make the clear road more foggy, and people will move forward. Unknowingly, they will have self-doubt about the purpose of the road and their own abilities. They will be confused, go round and round, and stop here. In fact, we need to keep moving forward, and taking a step back is also a kind of progress. Sometimes people will take the wrong path, but stubbornly move forward. Only by taking a step back can we see more clearly and broadly. People go on the road with questions. The answer is not in the result, but in the road. If you think and understand as much as you want, you will gain a lot. The appearance of a yoke will make people endure pressure, feel constrained, and narrow the original road. It is because they care too much about certain rules and boundaries, which makes people restrain their hands and feet and dare not give it a try. In fact, as long as it does not involve the legal aspect, there is no need to stick to the rules and do things by the rules, but to dare to fight and proceed by methods. First of all, the vision and pattern will determine the focus of the road. At first, people's ambitions will not be so lofty, but they can continue to change in the process, just like Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty. In the process, learn to reflect on the past and think about the future. If you don't do things, you won't make mistakes, but mistakes won't make things happen. Making mistakes is inevitable if you want to do things. People need to grow through the process of making mistakes, otherwise they won't make progress even if they don't move.
