About This Novel
This book takes the power turbulence that occurred during the change of dynasties in the Five Dynasties and the rulers' pursuit of legitimacy as clues to analyze the many political problems faced by the Five Dynasties regime and their response strategies. It conducts specific research on representative topics such as the establishment of the Five Dynasties dynasty's national title, the writing of historical biographies, the rise and fall of Zhang Quanyi's family, the issue of adopted sons and surnames in the Later Tang Dynasty, the Khitan father in the Later Jin Dynasty, the officialdom of Taizu's family in the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the founding process of the country. In addition, the appendix discusses how the phenomenon of "resurrection of dead trees" was used by King Jian of the former Shu Dynasty to complete his political propaganda during the founding of the country. Through detailed analysis of the above topics, the power changes and historical development of the central political situation in the Five Dynasties are revealed.
