About This Novel
This book is the simplified version of "The Popular Romance of Cai Dongfan's Past Dynasties" printed by Huiwentang in 1935. The Song Dynasty inherited the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the Yuan Dynasty. After a long journey through the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the late Zhou general Zhao Kuangyin wore a yellow robe and established the Song Dynasty. In the early Northern Song Dynasty, in order to avoid the separatism of feudal vassal towns and the chaos of eunuchs since the late Tang Dynasty, the government adopted a policy of emphasizing culture and suppressing military force. On the one hand, it strengthened the centralization of power, and on the other hand, the economy and culture prospered unprecedentedly. Song Zhenzong and Song Renzong entered a prosperous period. Later, Jin soldiers invaded the south in a large scale. Strong neighbors in the north of the Great Wall continued to have foreign troubles. Half of the country was lost in the Jingkang disaster. After Jingkang, Emperor Gaozong and Zhao Gou rebuilt the empire in Suzhou and Hangzhou under heaven, and lost the illusion of returning to China.
