Popular Romance of the Five Dynasties History
by Cai Dongfan
About This Novel
A long period of rule will lead to chaos, a long period of unity will lead to division. As time goes by, the legacy of the ancestors will gradually be exhausted, so the chaos will become increasingly fierce. Three or five heroes will take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, either by ordering the emperor or claiming the land as the king. In this chaotic and divided situation, there were various states during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there were Three Kingdoms during the Later Han Dynasty, there were the Southern and Northern Dynasties after the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and there were the Five Dynasties after the Late Tang Dynasty. The Five Dynasties lasted for fifty-three years, with eight surnames and thirteen emperors, and the country's name was changed five times, namely Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and Zhou. Because these kingdoms had already been named by previous dynasties, historians added a later character to each, calling them Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou. In addition, there were countries that were either combined or separated from the Five Dynasties, but were not affiliated with each other. They were called the Ten Kingdoms, namely Wu, Chu, Fujian, Southern Tang, Former Shu, Later Shu, Southern Han, Northern Han, Wuyue, and Jingnan.
