Brilliant Historical Fiction, Rated 9 or Higher, Meticulously Researched, with a Down-to-Earth Protagonist
I've read a lot of stories like this, even some highly rated ones, but their protagonists all seem to have an arrogant, godlike perspective. Since they know how things unfold and how they end, they spoil everything for the locals and act smug about it. It's really uncomfortable, and they show no respect for history.
Looking for Novels Set During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty, or the Northern and Southern Dynasties
I’ve read so many stories set in the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties that I’m tired of them. I’d like to try some less common historical periods. Preferably completed. Please recommend some~~~
Books Set During the Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties or the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms
Historical novels set during the Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties, or the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
History, Real History! No More Stories That Just Follow the Historical Records
Looking for books similar to "The Official History Is Even Wilder Than the Unofficial History, and Li Shimin Breaks Down". Something like this! @Trainee001
A Look at History's Great Ministers and Generals: Who Comes Out on Top?
Looking for books like A Roundup: Asian Governor Li Shimin Shocks Every Dynasty. Begging for similar novels!

The history of China is magnificent and full of stories from the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It is suggested that the history of science and technology and the history of culture should be synchronized. History is not just about fighting and killing! Historical place names and modern place names should be synchronized to enhance the public's interest in understanding history!
The logic of this book is clear and easy to understand. Tell the complex history in an orderly manner. The final chronology should be in table form to make it clearer. This is a popular historical reading, which is much more valuable than those nonsense novels. I recommend everyone to take a look and improve yourself.
A very good book. The two swords combined with the two books and the Sixteen Kingdoms allow us to fully understand the dark four hundred years of the Chinese nation. Many thanks to the author
After reading it in one breath, Mr. Zhang Cheng is really inspiring in his literary talent and profound in historical research.
This book has a unique perspective. It interprets the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties together, which gave me a new understanding of the evolution of history. The Southern and Northern Dynasties were indeed chaotic, but in that era, everyone had their own way of survival. As the book says, "The Southern and Northern Dynasties continued the chaos of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. If we want to trace the source, the seeds were sown when Rong and Di invaded the Yellow River Basin in large numbers at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty." History is always full of drama, and the novel style of this book is also very enjoyable to read!
Clear organization, rich historical figures, and colorful storylines 👍
There is a hero, but there are no successors.
It's not as chaotic as the Jin and Jin Dynasties. It's good and I learned something [currently in progress]
I have read the Rebellion between the Jin Dynasty and Jin Dynasty, and it is very well done. The history is described in great detail in the book.
Time advances, geographical expansion and contraction, character relationships, events interspersed... Let's make up the context map in your mind
