Tang Dynasty Settlement Guide
by Forest Deer
About This Novel
"A Guide to Settling in the Tang Dynasty" introduces many aspects of the Tang people's clothing, food, housing, transportation, language, entertainment, religion, festivals, social systems, etc. In a simple and humorous tone. It starts from the details and shows the social picture of the Tang Dynasty (mainly Chang'an in the early Tang Dynasty). This is not a time-travel novel. The "time-travel" in the title of the book is because the author's original intention of writing this book was that he could not bear the historical errors and omissions in the popular ancient time-travel dramas, so he used the "travel guide" as an irony and ridicule. The author assumes a situation, that is, if modern readers traveled to the Tang Dynasty, what would the real life of the Tang people they saw with their own eyes be like. The article provides a large number of historical details from ancient books, unearthed cultural relics, Dunhuang murals, as well as academic monographs and professional papers in this field. Although the language is humorous, the ridicule is moderate, the text is quoted from classics, and the content is rigorous. It is an excellent introductory book on the customs and history of the Tang Dynasty.

Deer! How about we wear them in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties?
Didn't the ancients use punctuation marks?
Can people in the Tang Dynasty speak Mandarin?
Not bad, interesting and you can learn about history
It is much more in-depth than the first time travel guide, and the themes are well controlled.
The food of the Tang Dynasty has nice names and exquisite presentation. Listing just one recipe can bring out the greedy in people, and the various cooking methods are even more dazzling.
Many people have the fantasy of time travel, but if you really want to travel to that dynasty, many gaps with modern times will be in front of you. Some things cannot be achieved without certain conditions.
Very good, a sense of history and a sense of humor coexist
The Silk Road was indeed a transportation channel for business travel, but there were many risks in the Tang Dynasty. It had to be protected from bad weather, wild beasts, and robberies. In addition, the road was long and there were many uncontrollable factors.
Really respect history! Worth a visit for history buffs!
