Spring and Autumn and the Warring States Period (Complete in Three Volumes)

This is the first time to systematically understand the Spring and Autumn Period. From the king of Ping moving eastward to the division of the Jin into three families, from respecting the king and fighting off the barbarians to striving to dominate the Central Plains. The friendship between Guan and Bao, the debate between Cao and GUI, Cao Mo's robbery of the alliance, Yi Ya cooking the son, the old horse knowing the way, losing one's ambition by playing with things, destroying Guo on the false road, the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, the doctor Wuling, retreating from three houses, the good relationship between Qin and Jin, the battle of Chengpu, Zhu Zhiwu retreating from the Qin army, a blockbuster, Zhuang Wang Jueying, the division of the three families into the Jin Dynasty and so on. (Reading history is nothing more than the rise and fall of kings and generals, and the losers are ruthless. The loyal ones will be remembered for centuries, and the traitors will be remembered for thousands of years. Behind the scenes, there are swords and shadows, machinations, and there are also tragic songs of heroes and tragic lives of beauties. However, how many ordinary people lost their lives in that turbulent era. "There are only a few lines of names in the history of Qing Dynasty, and there are countless barren hills in Beimang." Hey! The more I read, the more pessimistic I become!) The whole book explains the hexagrams, rituals and music of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period well, but it is a pity that there is not much text on the contention of a hundred schools of thought.

It is very powerful and detailed. It may be enough for amateurs. I regard it as an important book for my amateur understanding of the history of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. It is also recommended to understand the theories of various schools of thought, as well as the detailed power relations of various governments. I feel that it is a pity that I have not found a book that can clearly explain the struggle for power within each country. It may be because it has been too long, and of course it needs a long length. Even if I only get a glimpse of the political structure and wisdom of thousands of years ago, I feel that it is no different from today. It is very inspiring and reflective. I have also put many bookmarks on this book to mark it as a classic.

The descriptions of the overlords of various countries in the book impressed me deeply. Their talents are admirable. For example, Guan Zhong's sentence, "If you have enough food and clothing, you will know the etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know the honor and disgrace." It is still thought-provoking to this day. Moreover, the narration of historical events in the book is also very vivid, and it feels like watching a big drama. All in all, this is a good book worth reading.

Historical novels about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It focuses on describing the life stories of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and their wise ministers, as well as the famous monarchs and their ministers during the Warring States Period, while briefly mentioning the achievements of other monarchs and figures. The author has successfully created characters that are different from those in the history books, such as Duke Huan of Qi, Guan Zhong, Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Mu of Qin, Wu Qi, Marquis Wen of Wei, Guiguzi's disciples, Duke Xiao of Qin, Shang Yang, etc. The characters are lifelike, with complex and changeable personalities, and fully demonstrate the magnificence of the great controversies in troubled times and the dazzling stars of talents from all directions.

Qi Xianggong broke his promise and was killed. Bao Shuya was extremely wise and spoke of loyalty. Guan Zhong's enterprising spirit, brilliant strategy, and unwavering ability to deal with any surprises made him sing loudly to boost morale on the way back to Qi, turning danger into danger and returning to Qi. The details of what is said in the book are also places for people to learn. The eras we live in are far apart, but things have similarities and similarities. When you are in a difficult situation, you might as well imitate historical figures and deal with it with a positive attitude instead of making things worse and complaining about the environment.

The story is very detailed and the characters are well-drawn.
