by Hu Xiangqin
About This Novel
From the time when the "Five Elements Chronicles" was first established in the "Book of Han" to the "Manuscript of the History of the Qing Dynasty", there are 18 official histories in ancient China that contain the "Five Elements Chronicles" (or chronicles of a similar nature to the "Five Elements Chronicles"). For more than a thousand years, the writing of official history "Five Elements Chronicles" has continued continuously, becoming a noteworthy historical phenomenon. Among them, the "Five Elements Chronicles" contained in the "Song Book", "Nan Qi Book" and "Wei Book", the main official histories of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, are rich in content, contain a large amount of historical information, and vividly reflect the social and political changes at that time. Through research, this book finds that the writing style of the Five Elements Chronicles is weird and full of various irrational elements. However, behind these appearances, it reflects the real political struggles and reflects the "natural disasters and other problems of the era." This "weird" writing actually reflects the reality of history in a tortuous way.
