What a Song Dynasty
After reading this work "What a Song Dynasty", if you ask me, which dynasty would I most want to go on a one-day trip through ancient times? I might have hesitated before: the Han and Tang Dynasties were too far away, and the Ming and Qing Dynasties were too depressing. Now I will answer - Song Dynasty. We always say that the Song Dynasty was poor and weak because its military force was too weak. When we talk about the Han and Tang Dynasties, we praise them, and when we talk about the Song Dynasty, we belittle and deny them. But as the author of the book said: it may be the most "human-like" dynasty in Chinese history. So if you are also interested in history, but don't really want to see "emperors, generals, and swords," you might as well read this work and appreciate the splendor of the Song Dynasty. It was the dynasty that was least like an "empire" but most like "life."
Preparing for traveling through the Song Dynasty
Understand every bit of people's life in the Song Dynasty, with detailed historical materials, plain narrative, rich imagination, suitable for modern people, and highly readable.
