This book is a popular work that tells the historical process and the fate of characters during the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty. It uses the stories of many key historical figures in the Anshi Rebellion, namely Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, An Lushan, Yan Gaoqing, Ge Shuhan, Yang Yuhuan, Li Heng, Zhang Xun and others. The experience of "abandoning Chang'an" is used as a clue to focus on the important issues in the process of the Tang Dynasty's transition from prosperity to decline. It uses the experiences of people who experienced the chaos to explain "why the chaos broke out" and "why the prosperous age collapsed", thereby re-creating the complete historical picture of the Anshi Rebellion period.
Reader comments
It can be used to pass time and gain some knowledge during the time spent. Disorder is the way the world is. Once you understand it, you won't struggle with life.
"Abandoning Chang'an" takes the fall of Chang'an during the An-Shi Rebellion as an incision, condenses the history of the collapse of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and depicts the appearance of all living beings in troubled times. The historical materials are solid and the text is clear, poetry and history prove each other's warmth, the characters are stripped of their facial makeup to reveal their humanity, the scourge of the times is revealed in individual choices, and the rise and fall of dynasties is seen in historical slices. It is an excellent work of popular history with both academic quality and literary appeal, giving tangible texture and deep thinking to the changes over the millennium. [Like][Like][Like]
A good book [like] sprinkle flowers at the end
It is worth reading. In the transition from prosperous times to troubled times, both big and small people are facing turmoil, and their own choices create their own destiny. Every character depicted by the author has flesh and blood. He does not just praise or belittle them, and he also points out the controversial points one by one.
It introduces all the important historical events from the beginning of the Anshi Rebellion to the end of the Anshi Rebellion, interspersed with various characters of this era. It is a book worth reading. It also allowed me to re-understand the catchy sayings of my childhood: "There are no relatives and friends, and there are no old and sick people." The stories behind the Tang poems also made me understand why the test papers when I was a student always said "expressing the poet's sad feelings". After reading it, I also understood what I originally wrote: "The poet is in troubled times, the old people are gone, and the desolation of old age is desolate."
I am honored to read the causes and consequences of the Anshi Rebellion through this book. It contains the author's rational analysis, the author's true feelings, and the author's literary talent. Let us see vivid historical figures one by one in the theme of "Abandoning Chang'an", let us wander in the long history of that year, see the joys and sorrows, see the selfishness of power, see the great loneliness and loyalty, see the soul of chaos Ping's poetry... This is the moving part of history.
No one can return to Chang'an.
Just like the city of Rome, the price of the world's attention is the bloody stories and facts. In the Anshi Rebellion, an event that was enough to become a turning point in the development of my country's feudal society, politics and military affairs were entangled in everything - but Chang'an itself was just like the literati in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, poor and late at work.
Thanks to Teacher Zhang for presenting us with a relatively real and unique historical process; the work combines the history of Li Longji, Li Heng and other ministers who fled Chang'an and returned to Chang'an after the Anshi Rebellion, and looks at this history from the perspective of the emperor, ministers, concubines, poets, warlords and other ministers; especially the perspective of the poet, Li Bai , Du Fu, Wang Wei, Cen Shen, etc., They represent not only literary and artistic workers, officials, but also the common people. From their experiences, mentality and poems, readers can more truly experience the impact and changes of this period of history on everyone; everyone has a Chang'an in their hearts, but can they reach it in this life?
I like historical works like this: rich historical materials, objective historical facts, supplemented by the author's compassion for observing history; the writing style is refreshing, the details are appropriate, and it is difficult to put it down after reading. I gained a lot from reading it
It tells the causes, process and results of the Anshi Rebellion from the perspectives of several important figures, and depicts the ugliness and glory of human nature. There are intrigues in the palace, but there is also an ironclad attitude. It intersperses the ups and downs of several famous poets during the Anshi Rebellion. All living beings in troubled times.
In this life, white clouds and gray dogs, emperors and generals, beautiful faces and white bones
This book took me to learn about the Anshi Rebellion and some figures during the Kaiyuan Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, including Li Longji, Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, Li Bai, Du Fu, An Lushan, Shi Siming... It can be regarded as my blindness to this period of history.
The narration of the article mainly focuses on events, and the description of the characters is relatively flat. I only saw the names of the people one by one, but did not see the characteristics, qualities, and inner feelings of these characters...
But as a reading to understand the history of the Anshi Rebellion, it is enough.
Touching. It has the authenticity of official history, the eloquent narration of the story, the rigorous attitude of using words, and the plain and shocking writing. Reading this book is like tasting a glass of mellow wine, which is endlessly memorable. In your spare time, read this book, it will be endless fun!
I finally finished reading this book. Although I have studied it in history books, I only covered the Anshi Rebellion in a few strokes. After reading this book, I also understand a lot about this period of history. When I saw the end, I felt a sense of emotion, that was the decline of the prosperous age. After that, many people wanted to return to the prosperous age, but the world has changed and it is difficult to return to the past.
Writing historical novels is generally tiring because the content involves eras and major events. In addition to the author's profound historical knowledge, he also needs to refer to literature, etc. It's a hard job. Overall, this novel is good, eighty or eighty.
This article takes Chang'an before and after the An-Shi Rebellion as the coordinate. It depicts many characters, emperors, generals, beauties and talents. Everything collapsed with the arrival of the Anshi Rebellion, and the prosperous age of the Tang people also collapsed. As a descendant, looking back at this period of history, I can only sigh with infinite sadness.
First of all, this is a traditional historical novel, not a serious retelling of popular history. The literary quality overwhelms the grand historical narrative. Secondly, I like literature probably more than history, so I like this book.
It was a hearty read, and many information points were combined to express the author's own views through character relationships and events. Through this reading, I once again recalled the Tang poetry I had read before, and the general environment and small scenes in which it was created.
Under the author's narration, history is no longer rigid and boring, and it always draws my mind to keep reading.
From this book, we can read the trend of natural replacement of dynasties, the symbiosis of good and evil in human nature, the love of family, friendship, love, the love between monarch and ministers, and the love between king and people.
Although the times have undergone tremendous changes, the things that happen between people can always find the shadow of history. This is also the charm.
I've read the physical book, it's worth reading!
So pretty, so pretty
The author's story about the Anshi Rebellion is a bit romantic.
I saw the appearance of all living beings, I saw whether heroes create the situation or the situation creates the heroes, I saw the little people, and I saw the big era.
Compact and comprehensive, with in-depth analysis and unique insights, it not only narrates, but also talks about the understanding of the evaluation of ancient historical records, points out its limitations, and inspires readers to think!
Brief and appropriate, can be read in one go
Very good, excellent writing
Nice! Unique insights!
Life in wartime
It's pretty good, but I prefer Zhang Xiangrong's Eve of the Three Kingdoms and Wang Mang.
Memories are a road with no return. The prosperous times are gone and glory is fleeting. Living in the present is in accordance with the laws of nature.
It's so well written, with a magnificent historical context, concise and concise words, and flesh and blood. It's more eye-catching than pretentious romance.
