First Reading*****

How should I put it? The biggest feeling of this book is that it depicts historical figures vividly and beautifully. Most of the author's descriptions of historical events are based on historical facts. Although there are also some personal assumptions and conjectures, it increases the readability. The author's understanding of history and his current thinking are the biggest features of this book.

This book helped me clarify the historical context, and finally felt that I was not so vague about history. Children, if you have already started learning history, I suggest you memorize dynasty songs first, understand the basic framework of each dynasty, and then learn some detailed historical knowledge, so that you can learn with twice the result with half the effort. ——From a former history scumbag and now a history geek

A good book that tells extraordinary stories in logical, opinionated and historical language.

This is a fascinating historical read. The author tells the important events and figures in Chinese history in a vivid and interesting way. Through the fascinating stories and historical truths revealed in the book, readers can have a more comprehensive understanding of China's cultural heritage and historical evolution. A famous sentence in the book, "History is the best teacher," reminds us that by studying and thinking about history, we can better understand reality and make wiser choices for the future.

It's well written and interesting, and it taught me a lot about Chinese history. After reading a lot of fictional novels, and then looking at the history you wrote, I realized that many novels are actually weak, even those written by authors who are proficient in history. I will also slightly change the history based on the framework of my own novel. Let some readers who do not understand history think that this is the fact.

Ten years of life and death are so vast that I cannot forget them without thinking about them. Thousands of miles of lonely tomb, no place to speak of desolation. Even if we meet each other, we should not know each other, our faces are covered with dust and our temples are like frost. At night, I suddenly returned to my hometown with a deep dream. I was dressing up outside the small window. They looked at each other without words, only a thousand lines of tears. It is expected that the broken part of the intestines will be cut off every year, on a bright moonlit night, there will be short pines. Jiangchengzi---

It is really remarkable that the author can tell history in an interesting way through the description of the characters in history. It is easy to understand. It turns out that the ancients are no different from us modern people. (This is my biggest gain from reading this book)

In this book, you can see the history of the demise of Chinese knights, including Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and you can also get close to Sima Yi, who was at the forefront of history; here, you can learn about the Anshi Rebellion, see the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, and understand the story of the imperial concubine's fight for favor. Why did Qin Shihuang burn books and entrap scholars? Why did Wang Anshi change the law? What achievements did Genghis Khan and Zhang Juzheng achieve? Why is it said that when you are young, you only know Xiang Yuyong, but it is difficult for you to understand Liu Bang when you are middle-aged? Besides the heroic Cao Cao, does he have other qualities? You think you know Liu Bei, but how much do you know about his history of struggle? Open this book to find the answers you want.

This is a fascinating historical book that leads readers to deeply explore the millennium of Chinese history with its vivid narrative and unique perspective. This book uses easy-to-understand language to systematically narrate Chinese history in chronological order, from ancient times to modern times, and to comprehensively explain all aspects of politics, economy, culture, and society. Through rich historical materials and stories, the author vividly presents historical figures, events and historical backgrounds to readers. Their wisdom, courage and pursuit moved people deeply and triggered deep thinking and research on Chinese history. What makes this book unique is the way it presents history in a storytelling format. The author skillfully uses literary techniques to vividly depict the psychological activities, emotional entanglements and decision-making processes of historical figures. Readers can feel the weight and emotional impact of history as the story develops, as if they are on the stage of history.

This book lives up to its name and is indeed an "addictive" book as soon as you read it. Personally speaking, each chapter of this book has a clear classification, and the content is also sorted from historical order through examples to complete the content. Many of the stories are helpful to some beginning history students, such as "Burning Books and Confucianism" explains the misconception that most people believe that Qin Shihuang simply destroyed all content about Confucianism, and this book explains this misunderstanding. For those who know some history, this book improves their views on historical figures through many examples. In short, for understanding the history and the background of poetry creation, this book is worth reading and very "addictive".

After reading this book, I feel deeply proud, the pride of being a son and daughter of China. The admiration for the ancients is even greater. There are emperors with ambitions to unify the motherland, indifferent and treacherous ministers who compete for power, loyal generals who are patriotic and dedicated, talented scholars and beautiful ladies who are rich in knowledge, and loyal lovers who love and hate separation. From the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, countless generations have stirred up waves in the long river of history, giving life to the calm and indifferent time and allowing future generations to ponder. History always repeats itself. We can learn from history and make clear decisions. Love the motherland and the people, always be grateful, forge ahead, work hard, and live up to the time. Even if you can't make waves, you must live a wonderful life. Remember the past, cherish the present, and strive for the future. Study history to understand reason, study history to increase credibility, study history to respect morality, and study history to practice it.

History is actually very interesting

Finished reading. It's interesting, from a different perspective. In fact, everyone is a product of the times. Regardless of emperors, generals, or ordinary people, they are all carried forward by the torrent of history. It seems that there are many choices, but in fact, their fate is doomed.

Chinese history is very complex, and most of the history writing is very boring and seems very laborious. However, this book is very easy to understand. It uses many stories to connect the historical clues. It is not boring to read and can be verified. It is a very good history book. It is indeed as the title says. It is addictive as soon as you read it. It is a strong amway for people who are interested in history. After reading it, I feel that I have gained a lot. It can really give a lot of useful information to the historically illiterate, which is great!

This book uses a humorous and modern approach to analyze the literati and nobles of the past dynasties from a unique perspective. Compared with other history books that only tell stories but not opinions, this book can effectively guide readers through the historical evolution of historical figures after their appearance, and trigger readers to think about the past. It is really a good book that becomes more and more addictive the more you read it! [Like][Like]

Only by traveling back in time to the ancients and putting ourselves in their shoes can we know what the ancients experienced and what lessons we should learn. This is the meaning of reading history.

This book writes obscure historical events and characters in an easy-to-understand way, with a humorous style. I really like it!

Wen Boling is a historical columnist who takes "history into reality" as his writing principle. He is good at using easy-to-understand writing methods, expounding different viewpoints from novel angles, and discovering the ups and downs of destiny behind history. This book is divided into six major themes, telling the history of China from six aspects: power, turning point, reform, emotion, temperament, and struggle. The author focuses on a theme and uses several different real figures and events in history to present the central idea, reflecting on history and asking questions about the meaning of life.

I have benefited a lot, and it has enlightenments on how to deal with people, run a family, start a family and start a business, etc.

I think this book is very interesting! It is not as boring as ordinary history books, but uses many small stories and details to show the evolution of history. As the author said, history is not a notebook, but the process of the evolution of the times. Moreover, I especially like the author's description of copper coins, which makes me want to know about the past. This book gave me a new understanding of history and made me want to explore the stories behind history. I believe that after reading this book, you will become addicted to history like me!

I quite like it. It's not too profound but it contains a lot of truth. There are only a few passages about these people in the long history. Who knows what they were like back then!

It's so beautiful, the content is easy to understand and quite exciting. History reflects reality, and the content is easy to understand and the image is profound!

Thousands of years have passed, and there have been countless stories. This small book cannot tell them all about their love, hatred, hatred, and great achievements.

History is there, and with different interpretations and thousands of people, you can always see different history. This book looks at the past from another perspective. Think about the present and look forward to the future. It's a different history book

There is no boring history book, and it adds a modern tone. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and recommend it to everyone. [Laughing][smiling]

The boring historical figures and deeds are explained by the author in modern language in a vivid and interesting way, which is thought-provoking and worth reading.

It tells the context of history. History is never an independent event.

It turns out that history is an organic whole. It turns out that in the glorious Chinese civilization, there are so many shining stars emitting the light of civilization.

There are many charming historical figures, drawing lessons from the past to illuminate the past and present

It's a bit interesting. Seeing history from different angles, only by understanding from multiple perspectives can we eliminate the false and preserve the true, and understand the real history.
