"Chaos" was the biggest characteristic of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
As a popular reading book, the author respects historical facts and uses the narrative method of "historical psychology" to explain the history of the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties in 12 topics, including the clan politics of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sinicization and the true reform of ethnic minorities, "Hou Jing's Rebellion", Buddhism, economic differences, the Battle of Feishui, the "Eight Kings Rebellion", etc.
The author not only reviews and introduces relevant representative research results in the academic world, but also adds supplements. I also expressed some personal opinions or raised questions about things that I thought were not adequately explained or inappropriate content.
For example, the author believes that the instigator of the "Eight Kings Rebellion" should be King Zhao Sima Lun, and that Jia should not be held responsible later.
For example, the author believes that it is neither accurate nor fair to say that "plain talk" is being beaten to death with a stick. Fundamentally speaking, "talking is harmful to the country" is due to the ruling class's hiring errors. National power should not be handed over to people who evade social responsibilities by talking.
Reader comments
This book is very good! It uses a "historical psychology" approach to tell the story of the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and also mentions some details that we may have overlooked, such as the initiator of the "Eight Kings Rebellion". I think this is very helpful for us to understand history. Just like my husband, he always found history boring, but after reading this book, he became interested in that period. I think this book is not only suitable for history buffs, but also for ordinary readers like us. I highly recommend it!
It's okay, the writing is quite simple.
It is true that what he said is true and should be used as a mirror...
