Synopsis

This book tells the 550-year history of China from King Zhou Ping's eastward migration in 770 BC to Qin Shihuang's unification of the world in 221 BC. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the power of the Zhou royal family weakened, and the princes continued to conquer each other year after year, and all the heroes came together to form the "Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period" and the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period". The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were turbulent times. It could be said that there was stability overnight, but disaster would come in the morning. Hegemony was just established, but subversion occurred again. The biggest feature of this period is the collapse of rituals and music, and the belief in the logic of strong soldiers and horses, and the strong will dominate; hundreds of schools of thought came on stage one after another, putting forward their own ideas of salvation. During this period, things changed in a variety of ways, which was dizzying.

Reader comments

The Spring and Autumn Period was the period when princes competed for hegemony and the Central Plains. The Warring States Period was when princes annexed all countries and the idea of unification arose. Productivity developed. Small countries were annexed by big countries. Big countries seized cities and land from each other and developed through reforms. In most countries, incomplete reforms ultimately failed. The corruption and incompetence of the ruling class also led to their demise. China transformed from a slave society to a feudal society. The Qin State was able to follow the historical trend and carry out thorough reforms, thus becoming rich and powerful and uniting the world. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were also a period of great liberation and development of culture, thought, and science and technology. Many figures and works that influenced later generations appeared and contributed to the cultural development of the Chinese nation. Do you have any recommendations for the next book on The Qin Empire?

It feels a bit similar to the "Qin Empire" series, both of which tell stories about heroes fighting for hegemony in troubled times. Moreover, the hundreds of schools of thought mentioned in the book reminded me of a friend of mine who particularly likes to study Confucianism. Reading this book is like discussing history with friends, it's very interesting!
