Modern Historical Fiction Has Almost No Gems. Disagree? Come Debate Me
The protagonist should not be sanctimonious, and the novel should not be mindless.

I'm sick of those power-fantasy stories where the protagonist shows off all the time!

Historical Fiction Recommendations
I’m the history class representative. Are there any good books about history, historical literature, or real history?
Historical Fiction: No Nonsense Allowed
It doesn’t have to be completely historically accurate, but at least don’t make it ridiculous. I want power struggles and political maneuvering that make sense. People shouldn’t just get confused all the time and believe the protagonist at first sight. The language doesn’t need to be perfectly period-appropriate, but please don’t throw in internet slang and memes at every turn.
Looking for Books Set in the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming Dynasties, or the Three Kingdoms
Good Historical Fiction
Pure Ancient Military Fiction, Alternate History, No Harem, No Fantasy
Preferably something centered on schemes and strategy. The longer, the better.
Historical Novels with Literary Merit and Beautiful Prose
I’d like historical fiction, or literary fiction if you like, with good writing. Anything but brainless wish-fulfillment novels, and please give it a decent moral compass.
Historical Fiction Without a System: Ming, Tang, Song, Qin, Three Kingdoms, Han, and More
A System is fine too, but it has to be good.

Looking for High-Quality Historical War Novels
Historical Novels, Realistic and Lengthy, Please
Recommend Great Historical Novels Set in the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, or Ming Dynasties
Historical novels with believable, well-written stories, where wars are bloody and peace is fraught with undercurrents. Male-oriented fiction, not the kind where ancient heroes are summoned.
Historical Novels Based on Official History
Historical novels based on official history, not unofficial accounts. Any dynasty is fine, but it absolutely has to be official history! Official history! Please! Historical fiction is really useful to me.
Looking for Books About the Song Dynasty!!!
I remember a great book, but I've forgotten the title. The gist is that the male lead gets taken away by the Black and White Impermanence before he actually dies. He gets a job in the underworld, where he helps emperors from history let go of their resentment. The first person he helps is Zhao from the Song dynasty...

The first time I read "The Worried Ministers of the Song Dynasty" by Mr. Du Hong, I was attracted by its wonderful writing style and solid historical knowledge. "The Worried Ministers of the Song Dynasty" takes Fan Zhongyan as the main line and unfolds the spiritual epic of the civil servants of the Northern Song Dynasty in the long history. The novel takes the scholar's spirit of "worrying before the world's worries" as its soul, and blends the reform dilemma of Qingli's New Deal, the iron horse war on the Xixia battlefield, and the turmoil of the party struggle in the court. The author uses a historian's style to outline Fan Zhongyan's personality realm of "not being happy with things and not being sad with oneself". He not only writes about his keen innovation of "living high in the temple, but worries about his people", and also writes about his dilemma of "being far away from the rivers and lakes, worrying about his king". The book shows the struggle between ideals and reality of the civil servant group in the Northern Song Dynasty through historical slices such as the "Hundred Officials Picture Incident" and "Teng Zijing's exile to Baling County". The in-depth analysis of the national policy of "emphasis on literature and suppression of military power" and the contemporary questioning of the spirit of scholar-bureaucrats make the work go beyond the scope of traditional historical novels and become a prism for observing the fate of Chinese intellectuals. The book's narrative is relaxed and relaxed, and its language is as concise as a monument. It can be called a model work on the subject of Song history. I highly recommend you to read it and learn from history. Objectively introduce the life of Fan Zhongyan, a famous official of the Northern Song Dynasty, which is worthy of our study and admiration [love] [love] [love]
In Du Hong's "The Worried Ministers of the Song Dynasty", the turbulent history of the Song Dynasty is vividly presented. Fan Zhongyan's sentence "worry first when the world is worried, and rejoice when the world is happy later" expresses the feelings of family and country of the officials of the Song Dynasty, which is moving. The vivid description in the book of officials speaking directly to the court, and even spitting saliva on the emperor's face, allows people to see the character of the civil servants of the Song Dynasty. From a unique historical perspective, the author depicts the tolerance and benevolence of the emperors of the Song Dynasty. It was this tolerance that created the culture of civil servants who spoke out, and the emperor and his ministers worked together to create the prosperity of the Song Dynasty. This book is not just a simple narrative, but also an in-depth exploration of the political ecology and cultural spirit of the Song Dynasty, allowing us to travel through time and space, feel the charm and warmth of that era, and understand the wisdom and power deep in history.
There are many novels about the history of the Song Dynasty. "The Excellent Officials of the Song Dynasty" uses a unique perspective to describe the story of a generation of hard-core civil servant Fan Zhongyan. Fan Zhongyan lost his father when he was young and remarried with his mother. He was regarded as a dragster and suffered discrimination. However, he was determined to achieve great things, studied hard and became a high school scholar. Later, he traveled all over the world and used his talents to go to Beijing as an official four times. He was demoted to a local official four times because of his disobedience. I originally thought that Fan Zhongyan was just a civil servant, but after reading the book, I realized that Fan Zhongyan was also a highly skilled border commander. When the Song Dynasty suffered repeated defeats in the Song-Xia War, he turned the tide, changed the passive situation of the Song Dynasty, and forced Li Yuanhao to make peace. Fan Zhongyan was awarded the post of Deputy Prime Minister for his military exploits and presided over the vigorous Qingli New Deal. However, because it touched the interests of senior officials, the New Deal failed and he was once again turned into a local official. While serving as the magistrate of Dengzhou, Fan Zhongyan wrote the eternally famous "Yueyang Tower". The eternal famous saying of "worry about the world's worries first, and rejoice after the world's happiness" has been praised by scholar-bureaucrats in all dynasties. After reading this book, I understood the reasons why the Song Dynasty had a weak military and a developed economy. The Song Dynasty was worthy of being the pinnacle of Chinese culture.
"The Worried Minister of the Song Dynasty: Tuoyoupin" is a historical novel set in the Song Dynasty. It is fascinating with its profound historical background and wonderful storyline. As the protagonist of the story, Fan Zhongyan has a distinctive and charming image. The author demonstrates his perseverance and outstanding talent by describing his experiences such as losing his father when he was young and remarrying with his mother. At the same time, Fan Zhongyan's political, military and other talents are also vividly described by the author, making readers full of respect and admiration for him. Additionally, the writing in this book is excellent. The author's writing is smooth and full of charm, and both the scene description and character dialogue appear natural and vivid.
The eight great masters of the Tang and Song dynasties in history, including Ouyang Xiu, Zeng Gong, Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Che, and Wang Anshi, were active during the Renzong period; the four great inventions of ancient China, including the compass, gunpowder, and movable type printing, were born during the Renzong dynasty.
A good historical ancient novel, set in the Song Dynasty. The author describes for us the wonderful process of how Fan Zhongyan changed his historical destiny step by step. Great writing style, highly recommended [like]
A good historical novel about a generation of civil servant Fan Zhongyan, who studied hard and changed his destiny. He turned from a shunned procrastinator to a famous prime minister.
Those "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" that danced in the memorials were, after all, not as real as a city brick on the bank of the Yellow River. It is recommended that Fan Zhongyan be awarded the Best Crossover Award in the Northern Song Dynasty. He can not only write "The Story of Yueyang Tower" and engage in cultural creation, but also build fortresses and do civil engineering. By the way, he can give an open class on "On the Importance of Side Jobs" to officials of the Song Dynasty. Looking forward to more exciting events!
The author shows us a different Fan Zhongyan. The social aspects of this book are very exciting, the background is clear, and the characters' personalities are well drawn. It reads smoothly and makes you feel like you can't stop. I look forward to the author's subsequent exciting plots.
Read it through and understand the history of the Song Dynasty. The author has rich historical knowledge, exquisite writing style, smooth prose, and vivid characters. While reading the story, readers also learn a lot of historical knowledge and feel the concern for the country and the people. It is a must-read historical masterpiece!
