Song Dynasty Innovation

About This Novel
Zhao Kuangyin wears a yellow robe, and Liu Yong lingers in the brothel singing about the dawn wind and the waning moon. Di Tiantian went on a rampage, while Bao Gong sat in Kaifeng Mansion and acted impartially. In Liao, Jin, and Xixia, powerful enemies were all around, but in Bianliang City and Lin'an Prefecture, Cuju and sumo wrestling were still singing and dancing. Da Song lived his own new flavor, which was definitely different from the past. The latest volume of "History of China" written by the well-known scholar Yi Zhongtian focuses on the theme of "innovation", sorting out the historical trends during the changes in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and analyzing the many aspects of the Song Dynasty that were different from the past: new life, new economy, new regime, new situation, new strategy. The Song Dynasty was brand new and different from the past, and the successes and failures of innovation are also worthy of review by today's people. Yi Zhongtian's unique "Yi's Reading" style narrates the originally boring historical battles in a way that is humorous and easy to understand, but also profound. This book observes the Song Dynasty from the perspective of big history and a global perspective, analyzes the strategic deployment and decision-making since the founding of the Song Dynasty, and also focuses on small details to discover the deep context of big history from specific examples and historical figures. What happened to the yellow robe? What historical details are hidden in "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"? Who is Bao Zheng? Why did Di Qing die? "Revolution of the Song Dynasty" answers these questions, and not only gives the answers, but also reveals the inner context and logic of the 3,700-year history of Chinese civilization.
