Synopsis

The more than 160 years from the Liu Song Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty when the Nanchen Dynasty was destroyed was a relatively special historical period in Chinese history. During this period, the Chinese Empire, dominated by the Han civilization, had a long-term confrontation with the country established by the northern nomads. The integration and struggle of various ethnic groups that began during the Jin Dynasty continued to deepen. From the perspective of the society at that time, this was certainly an era full of disasters and pain, but from a historical perspective, the conflict was a special form of collision of civilizations of different natures, and the results it brought were not all negative. As far as the historical process of Han civilization at that time is concerned, the Jin and Jin Dynasties were full of pathological aristocratic habits, which could no longer be cleansed and solved by their own strength. In other words, Han civilization had reached a bottleneck period. Without violent collision and integration, it would be difficult to get out of it on its own strength. Under such conditions, it is of certain positive significance to integrate the vitality of the ethnic groups outside the Great Wall. This small book starts from this perspective, trying to uncover the veil of the Northern and Southern Dynasties era, and understand the passing people and events from point to point, as well as the traces they left in the long history.

Please Write a Novel About the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties Period

I'm tired of watching the Tang, Song, Ming and Three Kingdoms. I want to find some less popular historical periods to read and try to complete them. Please recommend~~~

Excellent Historical Text, ≥9 Points, Textual Research, the Protagonist Should Not Be Arrogant

I have read a lot of these articles, even some high-scoring articles, in which the protagonist has a God's perspective and is superior. Because he knows the outcome of the process, he pretends to be spoiled by the indigenous people. It is too uncomfortable and has no sense of awe for history.

I want to read a book like "Even if you are a fake daughter, you must be brave enough to show off". I want to see something that is eye-catching and refreshing! I can learn knowledge from it, including psychology, interpersonal communication, etc.
