This is What Xia, Shang and Zhou Were Like
About This Novel
The Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties laid the foundation of Chinese civilization. However, the history of the three dynasties is complicated and confusing. The historical materials are originally limited. In addition, the Qin Dynasty burned books, which only makes future generations sigh at the sight of flowers in the fog. This book strives to dig out the truth of that glorious historical era from limited clues with a rigorous and realistic attitude. By comparing "Historical Records", "The Year of the Bamboo Secretary", "Shangshu", and the documents of pre-Qin scholars, it eliminates falsehoods and retains true ones, and questions many traditional conclusions in history. For example, how can Shaokang and ZTE avenge the country's thieves? Are Xia Jie and Shang Zhou really the most tyrannical monarchs in history? Is the Machiavellian master Yi Yin a virtuous prime minister or a traitor? This book integrates stories scattered in various historical materials into a relatively complete story, with clear chronological order, coherent historical events, and orderly context. It combines knowledge and storytelling, and is highly readable, which shows the author's hard work.
