Get to Know an Ancient Person Before Falling Asleep

History is like a bright mirror, allowing people to understand gains and losses. The same is true for the ancients. If you understand the lives of the ancients, you can understand their joys, sorrows, and joys, and then you can plan your own life better. This book is an inspiring and thoughtful spiritual growth book. The author uses the stories of ancient philosophers or celebrities as the starting point to trigger readers' thinking about life, values ​​and the meaning of life. Through carefully selected stories and in-depth interpretations, this book helps readers better understand themselves and others, and thereby gain spiritual growth and peace.

For those who want to learn more about the ancients in this form of chapter, the author will work hard to compile it. I really want to read it.

The author has made great efforts to bring confused readers closer to the historical facts. It is easy to read history, but it is difficult to do in-depth research like the author. Pay tribute!

In this era of explosive development of information technology, we can easily obtain information about the ancients, but this information is either too boring or too interesting and lacks reality. Professional historical researchers are duty-bound to cultivate the general public's interest in history and culture. The author selects twenty-one typical historical figures who are very famous in history or very helpful to the development of history, and leads us to understand their legendary lives.

2023.10.19🦀Every historical figure is quite outstanding (of course, how can it be recorded in the annals of history if they are not excellent). The charming ancestors are powerful and cultured, and they are also celebrities in modern times. Learn from history and see how the sages single-handedly turned the situation around.

Tang Buwen, a great historical figure, introduces 21 old friends one by one each night. This book uses more than 20 life stories of ancient figures from the pre-Qin to Qing dynasties as raw materials, integrates a large number of reliable historical materials, and uses a rigorous attitude and popular writing style to tell the stories of the characters, including ancient kings, powerful ministers, generals, counselors, literati and women. This book is deeply touching and interesting to read. It is both academic and popular. This is because the author hopes to satisfy the hobby of an ordinary reader, that is, "wanting to read some historical knowledge and historical stories that are both true and easy to understand on the market."

As a book that is light-hearted and enjoyable without losing educational and learning significance, I think the author is one of the best. This book is divided into six chapters, namely, the King Chapter, the Powerful Ministers Chapter, the Generals Chapter, the Advisors Chapter, the Literary Men Chapter, and the Women of Women Chapter, to describe the ancient people's style of doing things. For example, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty emphasized that children should be filial to their parents and respect their elders. He set an example himself and influenced his children through his own behavior. He valued his children's etiquette and required them to behave appropriately, respect others, and understand social etiquette and rituals. Interested friends can come and read it.

It is a very good biography of a historical figure. The book is not complete about the characters it writes about. It only interprets it from a few small incisions, but it paints a good picture of the different aspects of the historical figures and can be used as a detailed supplement for historical understanding. In addition, the historical evidence in the book is well researched, the language is comprehensive and relaxed, and there is no sense of difficulty and stagnation. The selected ancient texts are not too difficult to understand. Sometimes they will make people smile, and the readability is very good. Reading history makes people understand the truth and use history as a mirror. I believe readers will gain something after reading it.

The Yongzheng Emperor in the first chapter "Emperor Chapter" is vivid and impressive in the author's writing: as the winner of the bloody battle of nine sons to seize the throne, he was decisive in killing, pungent and tough. After he came to power, he cared about the people, selected talents, and promoted administrative laws. He was an inspiring king in government. The disputes between the nine sons competing for the heir, a series of social situations during the reign, and the turmoil in the Forbidden City. The author's vivid language and superb layout make this book exciting.

The content of the article is rich and interesting. It provides both gossip and history. It is worth reading. You can read the chapters you know first, then the ones you are interested in, and finally the rest.

Let each ancient person come to life and make their image in the mind clearer , it's really good, I have a deeper understanding of the subject of history.

I think it's very good. The sources of many plots are marked. The narrative is interesting and can expand the knowledge.

It's good to read, but I started reading it when I was in my third year of high school. However, I read a lot of online novels, and usually I don't read them too immersively. Now that I'm a freshman, I still haven't read much. However, this form of learning history and reading the lives of characters is very fun. I hope I can finish it this year. I finished reading it a few days ago

A very good collection of stories about historical figures, which allowed me to get acquainted with Su Shi, Du Fu and others again, and for the first time I got to know Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang and others. What impressed me most was the generals who defended their home and country and vowed not to surrender to the death, as well as the Thirteen Generals of Yumen (this seems to be the name). Every soldier who defends his home and country deserves respect and admiration. The one that makes me most distressed is Xia Ji. Before reading this book, I didn't know anything about this one of the four beauties of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It seems that the female characters who remained in history were all because of their beauty. Apart from that, their voices and attitudes have never been heard in history. I feel heartbroken about this. Most women in ancient times were pitiful and pathetic. As a modern woman, I am very grateful to all the female pioneers who have contributed or even sacrificed for women's rights and the fight for equal rights, so that I can live in an era where I can express my own voice and attitude. [Sending Hearts]

The author has three correct views, which is not as boring as official history, but very interesting to watch.

This book is highly recommended. It opened up my interest in history. I bought a set of Chinese Five Thousand Years before, but the content was boring and I had no interest in reading it. I just put it on the shelf! After reading this, I realized that the ancients were so vivid and interesting. Why don't we understand history from the stories of the ancients? The same goes for children, we don't need to force them, just tell them stories about ancient people. He will be interested in this person, and then he will understand the historical background, and then he may learn about the background [laughing]

Tang Xuanzong's "father is kind and son is filial" laughs me to death [awkward laugh]. Wang Mang's "Confucian spokesperson" in the imperial court [was stunned]. It's super exciting. I give it a 9.8. The remaining two parts are because there are too few characters and it's not satisfying. [Top post]

It's great to be able to see inside and understand the history.

This book has a novel angle. By telling the life stories of ancient people, it makes readers feel like they are at the historical scene. The author uses popular writing to narrate rigorously, and also compiles a "character resume" for each character, equipped with simple emoticons and derivative reading, allowing readers to understand historical knowledge more intuitively. Moreover, the historical stories in the book are true and easy to understand, making it very suitable for ordinary readers to read.

It's very interesting. The relaxed and humorous language style tells the stories of people over thousands of years. It's really great.

I like Huo Qubing because Huo Guang manipulated the quota of assistant ministers? After the death of Prince Ru, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still had four sons who could inherit the throne. Liu Kun, the king of Changyi, was born to his beloved concubine, Mrs. Li. King Liu Dan of Yan and King Liu Xu of Guangling were both born to Li Ji, who was not favored. Liu Fuling, Prince Ru was only four years old when he died, and was born to Mrs. Zhao Jieyu of Gou Yi. Liu Kun's hopes were originally very high, but with the death of Mrs. Li, Li Guangli fell. He himself also died shortly after the witchcraft disaster. Therefore, the real successors were only among Liu Dan, Liu Xu and Liu Fuling.

It's a good bedtime story, but maybe it's because I read the bloody career, but I think this book's evaluation of Li Si is biased. Liu Rushi's impression of her in the past was that of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, but he did not expect that she would be such an upright woman.

I like historical stories very much, not only because reading history can make people wise, but also because I feel that I know every character in the long history, and imagine that they have also been alive and are part of the vast history.

It's well written and easy to understand. After reading it, I'm even more convinced that I can't read such a relaxing history. I really have no interest in history.

As a biography of a celebrity, the author can classify many historical figures and talk about them in detail, which shows that his knowledge reserve is very rich. When it comes to characters, it is rare for the author to make an objective evaluation of the characters from multiple angles based on relevant deeds. Like👍🏻

Not bad, really recommended! ! The writing is relaxed and fluent, and the evaluation of the characters is not biased and does not have too many personal subjective assumptions. It is easy to read (one point worth mentioning: when the article involves some historical events that made women take the blame, the author of this book did not comment in a flamboyant manner like some male authors, but objectively stated some truths.

Learn about the ancients from a very novel perspective, a relaxing and enjoyable bedtime history book! This is the first time I have such great interest in historical figures. There are a total of 21 ancient people in the book. You don't need to read it from the beginning. You can just randomly pick an ancient person you are interested in in the catalog and start reading. It is very interesting. Real observation records of ancient people without fabrication or distortion. The stories are very interesting, and there is a skill analysis chart of the character at the end of each article, which uses a modern way to enhance the impact on the character and increase the understanding of historical figures while being funny. It's really interesting.

Let me briefly talk about my gains. There are many historical figures in the book who are familiar or have never heard of them. We may have heard of their historical deeds. This book uses vernacular to intertwine historical allusions, making Wang Mang, Guan Yu, Du Fu, Liu Rushi and many other historical figures vividly appear on the page. For example, everyone may know that Wang Mang established the new dynasty, but how he established the new dynasty and why he was considered a time traveler may not be known to you. You may understand it through this book.

Looks good! I read it every day before going to bed, I have read it several times [Chigua]
