In the eyes of most people, the Song Dynasty is far worse than the prosperous Tang Dynasty... I have always known that the economy, culture, and finance of the Song Dynasty were the best in the world, but in the long history of history, I always feel that this contradiction between economic and cultural prosperity and low overall national strength is an abnormal phenomenon. After reading this book, I understand
The history of the Song Dynasty also tells us that not only those who are backward will be beaten, but those who are advanced are also likely to be beaten. No matter how developed a country's science and technology and economy are, if it does not have a strong national defense and a sense of urgency in times of peace, the bright flower of civilization will wither under the storm.
Hahaha, red and hot, in a trance
As the saying goes, it is extremely cold at high places. If you are not careful, your life will be at risk. Beware of fire, theft, and brothers. There is no intimacy in front of the imperial power! When the author described Zhao Kuangyin as being "forced" to wear a yellow robe, he said that he had mastered Houheixue to the extreme... Houheixue is a very interesting book...
Not bad, but I think it's not plump enough
The author's writing style is very attractive, but I feel that too much emphasis is placed on politics and military affairs, and too little description of economy and culture. For the Song Dynasty, which had such a developed economy and culture, I am more inclined to add more descriptions of these aspects. But in terms of the author's narrative focus, this book is still great.
This is what the Song Dynasty turned out to be - book review
Among the major dynasties in Chinese history, the Song Dynasty was the weakest and most characteristic of the times. It had dark politics, a rich people and a weak country, and a unique military culture.
Pay tribute to the Song Dynasty
Every dynasty will leave a splendid culture, and its historical and political changes will give warnings and inspirations to future generations. It is a good work. Reading history makes people wise. I highly recommend it!
Good book recommendations, no regrets.
The cowardly dynasty
This cowardice is compared to other dynasties. For example, the Ming Dynasty did not cede territory, make peace, pay tribute, or pay indemnities. The content of the book is mostly about major events that can determine the national destiny of the Song Dynasty. Those who want to understand the general historical story of the Song Dynasty can read it. Compared with the events of the Ming Dynasty, it lacks some details and anecdotes from previous dynasties, but the overall narrative is true and smooth, and the evaluation of the Song Dynasty is pertinent. The Song Dynasty was indeed a cowardly dynasty. It basically paid indemnities throughout its dynasty, and in the middle, it became a vassal of the Jin Kingdom. It was the shame of Jingkang and it failed to complete its grand ambition of conquering the Central Plains for more than 300 years.
The author is talented and powerful, and people today admire him
