Synopsis

"Chronicles of the Kingdoms of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" is a long historical romance novel with 108 chapters in total. It uses "Zuo Zhuan", "Guoyu", "Historical Records" and other historical records as the backbone, and draws on miscellaneous miscellaneous historical records such as "Wu Yue Chun Qiu" to artistically reproduce this turbulent era of "collapse of rituals and collapse of music", feudal princes competing for hegemony, and annexation of various countries. The book clearly narrates the historical process of the decline of the Zhou royal family, the rise of the princes, the rise of the five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period, the coexistence of the seven heroes of the Warring States period, and the conquest of Liuhe by the Qin Dynasty. It vividly depicts Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, King Zhuang of Chu, Gou Jian, Wu Zixu, Sun Wu, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, and Shang Yang. The images of hundreds of kings, counselors, generals, righteous men, and lobbyists who influenced the direction of history, including Jing Ke and Jing Ke, brilliantly performed famous allusions such as "Playing with the princes with beacon fire", "Guan Bao's friends", "Lying on firewood and tasting gall", "Returning the perfect jade to Zhao", "Jing Ke assassinating Qin" and so on. "Chronicles of the Kingdoms of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" has a grand and rigorous structure and clear narrative structure. Although the characters and events are complicated, it can be coherent and orderly. As the pinnacle of ancient Chinese historical romance novels, it not only has extremely high literary and artistic value, but is also an important window for future generations to understand the history, politics, military, diplomacy and social style of Pre-Qin Dynasty. It is known as "an image textbook of Eastern Zhou history".
