About This Novel
"Ashoka: A History of the Mauryan Kingdom" takes Ashoka's life as the main line, cites a large number of stone pillars, edicts, inscriptions and cave carvings from the Ashoka period found throughout India, and uses the travel notes of Chinese Buddhist seekers such as Faxian and Xuanzang as evidence to tell the story from 323 B. C. To B. C. The major historical events of the Mauryan Kingdom in 232 clarified the historical context of the transformation of the Mauryan Kingdom into a Buddhist kingdom. It also gave a detailed description and reasonable analysis of the transformation of King Ashoka, the development of Buddhism during the Ashoka period, and the territory, military and administrative institutions of the Mauryan Kingdom during the Ashoka period.
