About This Novel
This book is the simplified version of "The Popular Romance of Cai Dongfan's Past Dynasties" printed by Huiwentang in 1935. The history of the Five Dynasties begins with the establishment of the Later Liang Dynasty by Zhu Quanzhong and ends with the establishment of the Song Dynasty by Zhao Kuangyin on behalf of the Zhou Dynasty. In this era, the situation was chaotic and warlords easily proclaimed themselves emperors. Zhu Quanzhong established the Later Liang regime, but was defeated by another feudal warlord, Li Cunxu, who established the Later Tang regime. Emperor Shi Jingtang relied on Khitan to establish the Later Jin regime, but the regime died at the hands of Khitan. Liu Zhiyuan of the Later Han Dynasty expelled the Khitan, but was replaced by the powerful Guo Wei. The same fate happened the following week, and Zhao Kuangyin became the end of the era.
