About This Novel

This is a vernacular record about the "Golden Age" and the "Frustrated Dynasty" in the three hundred years of the Song Dynasty. It starts with a gentle coup with almost no bloodshed - the Chenqiao Mutiny, and takes you to witness how Zhao Kuangyin took back military power in one meal and set the ancestral motto of "valuing civility over military power". This decision allowed the Song Dynasty to create one-fifth of the world's GDP and light up the pinnacle of Chinese culture. At the same time, it also contracted a fatal disease: internally, the scholar-bureaucrats could point at the emperor's nose and yell at each other, living with great dignity; externally, they always signed compensation contracts in victory, from the peace purchased by the Chanyuan Alliance to the disgraceful humiliation of the Jingkang Incident. "Three Hundred Years of Ups and Downs of the Song Dynasty" is not only about history, but also about the extreme gap in destiny: here are two stubborn idealists, Wang Anshi and Su Shi, who fought for half a life, but drank and talked happily in their later years; there is Yue Fei, who holds twelve gold medals, knowingly Even when he was about to die, he still lamented that "ten years of hard work was wasted in one moment"; Wen Tianxiang wrote in desperation, "Who has never died in life since ancient times, and his loyalty will be remembered by history"; there was also the battle of Yashan, when Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea with his young master on his back, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians followed him to die for the country. Turning this page, you will find that the greatest charm of this dynasty lies not only in its wealth, but also in the struggle, perseverance and sighs of this group of people in the torrent of history.
