About This Novel
"Harvard Chinese History 4: The Era of Confucian Rule: The Transformation of the Song Dynasty" is the fourth volume in the "Harvard Chinese History" series. From the late Tang Dynasty to the early Song Empire in the 10th century, the transformation that took place in China marked a decisive rupture in the history of the Chinese Empire. The "old world" formed by the northern gentry relying on the political advantage of genealogy lasted for hundreds of years and finally disappeared in the chaos and civil war between 880 and 960. With the decline of the gentry and the emergence of the scholar-bureaucrat class, the old way of governing the country was left behind.
