The Great Turmoil: the Middle Ages (five Dynasties, Liao, Song, Xia and Jin)
by Bai Zhide
About This Novel
This volume discusses the history of China from 906 AD to 1279 AD, which is the history of the Five Dynasties, Liao, Song, Xia and Jin periods. The status of this period in Chinese history has not been very high. Traditional historical views believe that this should be the second period of division in Chinese history after the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. During this period of division, the cruel war and the suffering of the people left deep wounds in people's hearts. However, the "poor and weak" Song Dynasty also shone with the dazzling splendor of three of China's "four great inventions": the compass, gunpowder and printing. The emergence of the compass, gunpowder and printing promoted the great development of world civilization; Kaifeng in "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was the most prosperous city in the world at that time. The Khitans and Jurchens on horseback are the entrepreneurs who built the capital in Beijing. In the description of "Medieval Era·Five Dynasties, Liao, Song, Xia and Jin Periods", we stand on the standpoint of national equality and reproduce the history of this period with a new vision and perspective.
