I didn't read enough, and the ending didn't feel like the ending, but the book was generally good, with witty language and humorous style. 1. The Song Dynasty has been coveted by the neighboring Liao and Jin countries for hundreds of years. Is it because of the "yellow robe" that it chose to always emphasize culture and suppress military power? National security is not guaranteed, and are you worried that the "yellow robe" drama will happen again, threatening your throne? When the enemy invades, a group of literati and scholars will take command, and even they are greedy for life and fear death and do not want to take command. They do not know how to fight and will not let generals take command. When the time comes to fight, they will not be able to recruit many men. The economic and cultural development of the Song Dynasty was unprecedentedly prosperous, but it was a pity in terms of force. 2. If the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey will be cooked. When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden. It's been like this since ancient times, and it's really chilling. 3. And those evil people who harm the national interests for their own selfish interests regardless of the overall interests of the country are really abominable. Maybe I have a narrow-minded view and do not fully understand the history of the Song Dynasty. The above are just my personal thoughts after reading this book.
It is a popular version of the history and politics of the Northern Song Dynasty that is worth reading. I hope the author can write the story of the Southern Song Dynasty well. The Southern Song Dynasty was completely different from the Northern Song Dynasty. Of course, the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was somewhat similar to the demise of the Southern Tang Dynasty. This may be something Song Taizu did not want to believe even if he broke his head. History is always surprisingly similar. Is this just a coincidence? Is the essence of it really just a regularity? This has to make people think deeply. In fact, there is no coincidence. In fact, Song Taizu had already buried hidden flaws when he established the top-level design of political governance in the Northern Song Dynasty. The national policy of "emphasis on culture and restraint on military affairs" was not the direct cause of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, but it was an unavoidable and important factor.
Emperor Zhao Heng asked the officials at a court meeting how much the price of wine in the Tang Dynasty was per liter, but the officials could not answer. At this time, Ding Wei stood up and said: "Du Fu, the famous poet of the previous dynasty, once wrote in his poem, 'It is best for you to drink a dou at once, which is exactly three hundred bronze coins.' Since a dou is equal to ten liters, I speculate that the price of wine in the Tang Dynasty should be thirty yuan per liter." As soon as Ding Wei finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause. Emperor Zhao Heng held his beard and said: "Du Fu's poetry is indeed a cultural treasure of a generation!" I saw a lot from this fragment, and was also deeply moved by the author's writing style, and his writing is indeed much better than mine.
It's okay. I personally think it could be written in more detail. There are so many characters that it's not easy to leave an impression. The writing is relatively simple.
This book is so interesting! It is like a storybook about the Song Dynasty. The author uses humorous language to tell the history of the Song Dynasty very vividly. I felt like I had traveled back to the Song Dynasty and saw those interesting characters and events. Moreover, this book gave me a deeper understanding of the history of the Song Dynasty. It turns out that there are so many interesting stories about the Song Dynasty! I think this book is a bit similar to "If This Is the History of the Song Dynasty". They both tell history in an easy-to-understand way. I also especially like Zhao Kuangyin in it. His story of "releasing military power over a glass of wine" is really amazing! I want to be like him and study hard to become a wise person in the future!
I am usually interested in history books, but some history books are difficult to read. After reading this book for the first time, I couldn't put it down anymore. I wanted to read it whenever I had time. Through the stories of historical figures, the entire historical line is weaved together, which is very exciting! Worth recommending! A great history book!
The Song Dynasty, a dynasty with rapid ideological and economic development, was the dynasty in Chinese history that succeeded the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and led to the Yuan Dynasty. It was divided into two stages, the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty. It experienced events such as the Chenqiao Mutiny and the emphasis on culture and suppression of military affairs, with a total history of 319 years. After reading a large number of historical works, the author of this book noticed the difference between official history and unofficial history. Based on official history and supplemented by unofficial history, he combined his own opinions and told the flesh-and-blood stories of the Song Dynasty in a humorous tone, taking us to see history from another perspective.
I never knew much about the history of the Song Dynasty, and I always found it boring when I studied it before. This book takes a unique approach and tells the history of the Song Dynasty in a way that is easy to understand and suitable for both refined and popular people. It is indeed a history that makes you addicted as soon as you read it. This book is full of fun, very easy to read, and full of rewards after reading it. It is very good, but it seems that the presentation of history is incomplete, and there is still a paragraph that has not been written at the end. This is a pity, maybe it is not shown here.
If there weren't those events in the Ming Dynasty, this would be the best historical article! It's just that the time is a bit messy, going back and forth. The plot is a bit short, I look forward to the second part soon.
History can also be made of flesh and blood and have storylines, as if you are reading an interesting novel. In terms of fun reading, this is a rare example of a historical book!
