About This Novel

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the feudal princes were divided and the government was mediocre, which triggered the Anshi Rebellion and the world was in chaos. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty declined since then, and a period of melee that lasted for hundreds of years began. The nearly one hundred years from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the establishment of the Song Dynasty was a period of great division in Chinese history, known as the "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms" (907-979 AD). After the fall of the Tang Dynasty in 907, five dynasties emerged in the Central Plains: Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han and Later Zhou. During this period, ten local governments were also established. It was not until the late Zhou Dynasty general Zhao Kuangyin launched the Chenqiao Mutiny that Huangpao joined the army and established the Song Dynasty. At the end of the Five Dynasties, the ten kingdoms were in disarray and the world was reunited. It was the two great heroes of Shandong who opened this special era and pressed the pause button on the Tang Dynasty: Wang Xianzhi, Huang Chao... The political situation in the late Tang Dynasty was chaotic, the war was cruel, the process was tortuous, the uprising was difficult, human nature was sinister, loyalists and traitors were confused, and the ending was tragic. No matter how good the screenwriter was, no matter how rich the imagination, no matter how perfect the planning, they could not create the original appearance of that period of true history. This book takes you slowly into history, close to Zizhi Tongjian, and explores that one hundred years of history that are real but unimaginable and unbelievable.
