A Century of Melting Pot - Romance of the Sixteen Kingdoms
by Little Boy In The World Of Mortals
About This Novel
A century-old epic of blood and fire that is more ups and downs than the Three Kingdoms and more chaotic than the Warring States Period! In the 4th century AD, the Western Jin Dynasty collapsed, and the entire north was reduced to a giant "laboratory of order." Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Di, Qiang, Han... Different civilizations and bloodlines collided, fought and merged here. Shi Le, who rose from a slave to an emperor, assisted by the counselor Zhang Bin, established the Later Zhao Dynasty that was "divided between Hu and Han"; the benevolent monarch Fu Jian and the legendary prime minister Wang Meng created a prosperous pre-Qin era that was inclusive of all ethnic groups, but his dreams were shattered in the battle of Feishui; the god of war Murong Chui, the powerful Helian Bobo, the eminent monk Fo Tucheng, the hero of the Northern Expedition Liu Yu... Countless heroes struggled to survive in troubled times and shined with their aspirations. This book provides a panoramic scan of this neglected "Dark Age of Asia". It is not only a history of regime change, but also a painful history of the difficult birth of "New China". See how the barbarian monarchs fought for "orthodoxy", see how the Han people inherited civilization in the cracks, and see how Buddhism became the spiritual link in troubled times. Here there is a game of power comparable to "Game of Thrones", a battlefield legend that surpasses "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and a "One Hundred Years of Solitude"-style meditation on the fate of civilization. When the dust settled, a new north, where the blood, systems and cultures of multiple ethnic groups were melted, had laid the foundation stone for the glorious Sui and Tang empires. Open this book and enter this era where heroes and devils dance together, civilization and barbarism coexist, and witness the most chaotic and creative tempering century in Chinese history!
