The perspective of this book is very novel. It explains the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and Sui Dynasty together, which gave me a clearer understanding of the evolution of history. I especially like the description of Yang Zhong in the book, I think he is so awesome! Moreover, the author's language is also very vivid, like telling a story, so that I, a mother who has just given birth, can easily understand it. I think this book is not only suitable for people who are interested in history, but also for new mothers like me who want to understand Chinese history.
The Sui Dynasty was like a meteor that flew across the historical sky. Although its light was short-lived, it was extremely dazzling. Many years have passed, and the Grand Canal is still flowing slowly. This river, which has carried so much, is a living history book! Reading history makes people wise, taking history as a mirror, knowing the ups and downs, knowing the rules, and knowing how to be in awe!
It's okay. The content is a bit short.
