This book selects some relatively secret but profound fragments in Chinese history, analyzes them in the form of detectives, and describes them in the language of stories, lifting the curtain of history and understanding the dynamics behind the historical facts: the rise and fall of dynasties, the ups and downs of power, the meaning of culture, the feasting of wealthy families and the struggle between ordinary people... It is useful and interesting.
Reader comments
This book is interesting and demystifies history in a unique way. As the author said, history is a mirror that allows us to see the wisdom and lessons of the ancients. I have also been interested in history since I was a child. Reading historical stories is like exploring mysterious treasures. This book reminds me of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" I read when I was a child. Those heroes still fascinate me. I think history is not only knowledge, but also an attitude towards life.
