The Complete Biography of Chinese Concubines (Super Value Platinum Edition)

After reading the experiences of all the women around the emperor, it's not enough for a woman to be beautiful. In the end, she has to be talented or capable to get the upper hand [Like]

People who read history books basically use men as the main line to describe them. This book "The Complete Biography of Chinese Concubines" takes women as the main line. It not only understands the historical development of China for five thousand years, but also gets a glimpse of the glory of women in five thousand years of history. This book is written in chronological order, with some of the major influences in history being written in more detail, while others are briefly described, with simple narration, highlighting the key points, and comprehensive writing. There have been many queens in China's long feudal society of more than 2,000 years, but the ones who really had a significant impact on China's historical process may be Empress Lu of the Western Han Dynasty, Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, and Empress Dowager Cixi of the late Qing Dynasty. These three women were the women who actually ruled China.

This is a very comprehensive and systematic book about women in the palaces of the past dynasties. There are many historical figures described that I have never read before. It can be said that reading their stories has left a deeper mark on the times!

Because concubines are a special group of women in ancient China. They have the same experiences and fate as ordinary women, but they are also different from ordinary women in many ways. So I read this book with great expectations, thinking that the author would dig out and present the stories of each concubine. But unfortunately, the content in the book is basically a collection of historical materials, and some of the texts introduced by some concubines overlap with each other. There is no detailed story about their imprisoned life.

Women have beautiful faces but also need wisdom

Weeping for our female compatriots,

This book "The Complete Biography of Chinese Concubines" takes women as the main line. It not only understands the historical development of China for five thousand years, but also sees the glory of women in five thousand years of history. This book is written in chronological order, with some of the major influences in history being written in more detail, while others are briefly described, with simple narration, highlighting the key points, and comprehensive writing. Each concubine has a file, which introduces their birth and death years, place of origin, spouse, title and posthumous title, etc. I think it is more comprehensive and detailed. It can be read as a story or understand the history, which is very convenient.

The author writes very vividly, just like watching a TV series. For example, "Since ancient times, emperors and successors who have been appointed emperors and successors have not only strong internal virtues, but also have the help of their relatives." This sentence let me know that the role of women in the harem is not small! I think the author is very powerful and can tell so many complex historical stories so clearly. I recommend you also read this book, you will definitely gain a lot!

This book tells the story from a rare perspective of a corner topic in Chinese history that is most easily ignored, but is also the most interesting and most gossiped about. That is the concubine. The concubine was undoubtedly an indispensable part in ancient times. However, in ancient times, due to the preference for sons over daughters, even names were rare, let alone biographies. But the author summarized them all and wrote them down for us to read. From this book we can see another Chinese history from a different perspective.

People who read history books basically use men as the main line to describe them. This book "The Complete Biography of Chinese Concubines" takes women as the main line.

This book is written in chronological order, with some of the major influences in history being written in more detail, while others are briefly described, with simple narration, highlighting the key points, and comprehensive writing. Each concubine has a file, which introduces their birth and death years, place of origin, spouse, title and posthumous title, etc. I think it is relatively comprehensive and detailed. It can be read as a story or understand the history. It is very convenient for questions. I think it's not easy to be a woman. You have to take care of your family and show your value in society. The concubines in this book are even more remarkable. They are ordinary women like us, but they are different. They were the wives and concubines of feudal emperors who had supreme power. They played a very important role in history and even affected historical development. Of course, this development had both good and bad consequences. In this book, the concubines used their beauty and wisdom to fight for a place in the harem and even had supreme rights in the previous dynasty, such as Empress Lu, Wu Zetian, Empress Ma, Empress Xiaozhuang Wen and the famous Empress Dowager Cixi. I once heard a saying, "Men conquer women by conquering the world, and women conquer the world by conquering men." This sentence could not be more appropriate for the concubines in this book.

You can read it to expand your knowledge. Most of the stories are not consistent with historical facts. It is good to understand them as fables.

The content is rich and colorful, and the storyline has ups and downs.
