About This Novel
"The Song Dynasty: Zhao Family World" outlines the changes and generous elegies of the Song Dynasty for more than three hundred years by describing the character and destiny of the eighteen emperors of the Song Dynasty. Throughout the Song Dynasty, under the rule of the Zhao family, the phenomenon of emphasizing culture over military force and using culture to control military force was very prominent. But this greatly weakened the country's military strength, leaving the Song Dynasty unable to resist or fight back when facing powerful foreign enemies such as Xixia and Jin, and allowed itself to be bullied by foreign invaders. In the Song Dynasty, there were no troubles caused by eunuchs, clans, relatives, or powerful vassals. In terms of governing the country, the Zhao family was indeed full of talents, and the development of science and technology and culture had reached the pinnacle of feudal society. Such a strong and well-governed country became weak because of Changwen and Yanwu, and was unable to fight back against the northern nomads who lagged far behind it. "The Zhao Family of the Song Dynasty" describes for readers the story of how successive monarchs of the Zhao family dealt with conflicts within the family and at all levels of society in order to achieve the long-term rule of the family. The book comprehensively depicts the character and destiny of the eighteen emperors of the Song Dynasty, and outlines the changes, comedies and tragedies of the 320 years of the Song Dynasty.
