Eastern Jin Dynasty: a Century-old Game between Imperial Power and Clans
by Zhang Yan
About This Novel
At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Yi's descendants fought for power and launched a 16-year melee, which triggered the Yongjia Rebellion in Shenzhou Luchen. Ancient China thus entered the turbulent Sixteen Kingdoms era of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. From the founding of the country (317 AD) to the fall of the country (420 AD), the Eastern Jin Dynasty lasted for 103 years and has been struggling in the quagmire of clan politics. The game between imperial power and clan politics has never stopped. This book uses a tender, delicate and restrained novel style to describe the "power struggle" among several major families, including the Wang family of Langya, the Yu family of Yingchuan, the Huan family of Qiaoguo, the Xie family of Chenjun, and the Wang family of Taiyuan, who successively controlled the affairs of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. "Game" as a clue to narrate the rise and fall of several major families and the century-old rise and fall of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The context clearly sorts out the fascinating history of the Eastern Jin Dynasty that is full of challenges and changes.
