Looking South: Political History of the Early Liao Dynasty
by Lin Hu
About This Novel
This book provides new interpretations on a series of major issues in the political history and institutional history of the early Liao Dynasty, breaking through existing research on the overall understanding of the history of the Liao Dynasty, thereby providing some new clues for the issue of "Sinicization" in the study of Chinese history. This book reveals that since the beginning of the Liao Dynasty, the transformation of the Khitan regime from the traditional tribal system to the centralized bureaucracy has been an unchanging direction for the six monarchs from Taizu to Shengzong. Even in the three dynasties of Mu, Jing, and Shengzong, which tended to be conservative externally, the evolution of their political systems completely inherited the direction of the early Liao Dynasty, and Sinicization continued to deepen. The degree of Sinicization in the early Liao Dynasty was much deeper than scholars had previously realized.
