About This Novel
The majestic Forbidden City, the imperial city of the Chinese emperor, was built by the Mongols and has been preserved to this day by the hands of the Manchus. The combination of the nomadic empire and the agricultural empire created a huge multi-ethnic country - China. How did China, the two river basins that nurtured the Han culture and the Han people, unify Manchuria, Mongolia, Tibet, Xinjiang and other surrounding areas? From the Yuan Dynasty's northern migration in the second half of the 14th century and the rise of the Ming Dynasty to the prosperity and decline of the Qing Dynasty in the early 19th century, the 450 years of turmoil in Asia are all contained in this book.
