If you thought "Golden Week" is only today
If you think that only today will have the "Lantern Festival Gala"
If you think "fast food delivery" is only available now
If you think that only women from the Tang Dynasty dared to reveal their "career line"
If you think that only Japan can have gorgeous "female sumo wrestlers"
If you think that only modern China has professional fire brigade
If you think that only modern Western countries have a system of taking blame and resigning
If you think that only modern society has "state compensation"
……
Then I want to say that what you "think" is what you think.
Because of these things and systems, Song Dynasty society already had them. If you don't believe it, please read "Living in the Song Dynasty".
This book is not about telling you these "dead" historical trivia. The author wants to retell the three hundred years of prosperity of China during the Song Dynasty, rediscover China's civilizational traditions, break people's stereotypes and prejudices against the Song Dynasty, and recreate a "living" era.
Every story and topic that this book focuses on took place in the Song Dynasty 800 years ago, but it also touches the chords of the real society we live in, which is enough to make you feel like you have traveled through time.
Obviously, this is a work with rich historical materials, lively writing, persuasiveness and readability. It is more reliable than "Those Things in North Korea" and more vivid than serious academic works.
A new work by Tencent columnist Wu Gou, with a loving preface by Ma Boyong, a well-known genius in literature and history, known as "Prince Ma", "Living in the Song Dynasty" comprehensively presents a Song Dynasty that is very different from what you imagine.
Reader comments
It is not comprehensive. It can be written in a humanized literary situation, or the identity of the time traveler can be used to write the book in the first person tone. Only with flesh and blood and human touch can it be read and easily remembered.
The author helped me understand the prosperity of the Song Dynasty through rich historical materials, and also broke down the stereotypes about the Song Dynasty. Moreover, the writing of this book is lively and not boring at all. It feels like traveling to the Song Dynasty and experiencing the life there. I would recommend this book to other friends to learn about the interesting stories of the Song Dynasty together!
After reading this book, I really like the Song Dynasty so much.
The Song Dynasty is my favorite dynasty! (The second in the Zhou Dynasty, don't get involved with Zhou Chui!)
Gained a new understanding of the Song Dynasty
Learned, thank the author🌹
Such an interesting book, but the reviews are a bit low
It uses very interesting words to describe the country that has existed for more than a hundred years. In my eyes, Song Dynasty is very strange. He was one of the treacherous ministers in the contractors, and a bully in the Water Margin. But after reading this book, I found that his literary talent was soaring and he was free and broad-minded.
This book fully demonstrates the author's love for the Song Dynasty, and I learned a lot after reading it. The author writes in detail and explains every aspect.
To each his own, it doesn't suit me
A very fascinating book.
The people of the Song Dynasty lived a wonderful life, with rich spirit and enjoyable life.
The beauties who came to the Song Dynasty were Li Shishi, Yan Poxi, Jin Cuilian
Super pretty! Interesting and subverts all kinds of modern people's wants
