History is Not Confusing
by Li Zheng
About This Novel
This book interprets the inner mechanism of the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty through 14 characters (groups of characters) of the Tang Dynasty, and explores the deeper political logic and power laws of Chinese politics under the surface of machinations and hegemony, thus providing a mirror and inspiration for interpreting the current China. Each historical figure corresponds to a crux of real politics. For example, Li Mi corresponds to the problem of inconsistent interests between the bureaucracy and the decision-making group; Li Shimin corresponds to the problem of regime legitimacy; Xu Shiji corresponds to the problem of moral hypocrisy; Changsun Wuji corresponds to the problem of judicial politicization; An Lushan corresponds to the problem of how vested interests alienate overall interests and hinder reforms, and so on. By reading the stories of influential figures in the Tang Dynasty, officials can read the laws of power and official tactics, businessmen and entrepreneurs can read the mysteries of human nature and inspiration for managing enterprises, and intellectuals can read the warmth and philosophy of history.
