About This Novel
Regarding the Song Dynasty, people's impressions are inevitably stereotyped. They believe that the Song Dynasty valued literature over military affairs and was weak. However, it is undeniable that its economic prosperity and cultural prosperity were unprecedented in history. The political and military decline formed an extremely sharp contrast with the economic and cultural glory. They seemed to coexist in disharmony, which triggered very different evaluations from history readers of the past generations. This book focuses on major historical events or social phenomena such as the end of the wars of the Five Dynasties, the strengthening of centralization of power, and the implementation of the policy of right culture and restraint of force. At the same time, it re-examines the history of the two Song Dynasties from various aspects such as politics, economy, culture, diplomacy, science and technology, hoping to arouse the resonance of readers.
