Reader comments
This book introduces in detail the diplomatic etiquette of the Song, Liao, Song and Jin periods, giving me a deeper understanding of the history of that period. The author Zhao Yongchun's narrative is clear and informative, which makes people benefit a lot. The storyline in the book is vivid and interesting, like watching a costume drama, very attractive. Recommended to friends who are interested in history!
