It is one of the "Elegant Song Dynasty" series. This book is a series of three books with a total of 600,000 words. With a relaxed and comfortable writing style, it explores the spiritual world of emperors, scholars and military generals in the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties, focusing on highlighting human nature and personality. In the Song Dynasty, "those who wrote letters to speak out were not killed," and admonishment officials could "report matters based on rumors," so this was the most active era for Chinese literati in feudal society. This relaxed political climate allowed the creativity of scholar-bureaucrats to be explored as never before, and as a result there were various characters with distinctive characteristics, such as Su Dongpo's broad-mindedness, Wang Anshi's broad-mindedness, Sima Guang's solidity, Kou Zhun's lofty attitude, etc. This book is the third volume. It begins with the abduction of the two emperors of Huiqin and tells the story of the southern migration of the Southern Song Dynasty to the final demise of the Song Dynasty. It shows the prosperity of Jiangnan during the Southern Song Dynasty, the confrontation and integration of ethnic groups, and the character of Chinese scholars represented by Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, and Lu Xiufu.
Reader comments
The content of this book is very interesting, especially the part where Di Qing visited He Xiangu, which made me see an unusual historical figure. But I kind of hate Han Jiang. He said that when Di Qing went on an expedition. It was obvious that he didn't trust him. Fortunately, Di Qing proved himself with his strength, which made me admire his courage and wisdom even more. This book is both historical and interesting. It is worth reading.
