Song Dynasty (full Volume)

About This Novel

Passed away like this, the comfortable luxury and rain have bid farewell to the glory of the Song Dynasty for nearly a hundred years. There is no comfort under the dangerous wall. Some people of insight began to seek ways to revitalize and strengthen the country. The young emperor Zhao Xu was even more ambitious and vowed to reform and make immortal achievements. Therefore, Wang Anshi, with the support of Emperor Zhao Xu, used thunderbolt means and his nine reform measures to start the famous "Xining Reform" in history. This rapid and violent change shocked the court and officials who were addicted to "a hundred years of nothing". It impacted the old ways and regulations that had led to the country's poverty and weakness, and awakened the declining people's hearts. However, during the implementation of the new law, with the emergence of "deficiencies", fierce political disputes began between Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, and Su Shi, three close friends who "were basically the same but had different skills." They even became incompatible. Public and private affairs, mutual love, honor and disgrace, promotions, joys and sorrows, demonstrate the unique personality of a generation of famous ministers and the confusing and complex reasons for the great social changes. The author vividly reproduces the ups and downs of that period of history with elegant and refined words, and takes the reform as the main line, running through the laws and regulations, customs and sentiments, poems and songs, and military disputes of the Song Dynasty, and then reshapes the image of politicians and literati led by Wang Anshi. It is exciting to read and feels like being there.
