Rise and Fall: Dynasty Changes and Power Games in Ancient China
by Fu Xiaofan
About This Novel
A philosopher once said: The essence of Chinese history is that there is no history, only the reincarnation of dynasties. Nothing could be further from the truth. People always say that history keeps repeating itself, so the dynasty rotation that took place in ancient China formed a set of "historical cycle theory." However, from the birth of power, to local separatism, to imperial centralization, and finally the end of the autocratic system, this process does not stand still - systems, rules, theories, and practices have undergone many changes and progress over the course of five thousand years, creating a unique and magnificent historical trajectory. This book uses concise and popular language to sort out Chinese history from the perspective of regime change, from the period of myths and legends to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It accurately refines the foundation, institutional concepts, reform attempts and reasons for the end of each dynasty, and shares with us the historical evolution reflected in the rise and fall of dynasties point by point.
