The Front and Side of History

How do imperial power and gentry power compete? How are the monarch's power and the prime minister's power checked? How did the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of commerce come about? How do loyal ministers and traitorous ministers compete? History is a polyhedron, with the heroism of an iron horse and the elegance of a small bridge and flowing water; the power struggles of emperors and generals, and the fireworks in the streets of traffickers and pawns. History is never a cold text. History is a stunning legend performed by living people. Open this book and let us follow the historian Wu Han to experience a flesh-and-blood, interesting and interesting ancient world.
