Empire of China Prequel: Spring and Autumn Struggle for Hegemony

There is no better way to win the victory of yangmou. "Zuo Zhuan" is enough. Especially in the context of the current comprehensive game between China and the United States, we should learn from the conspiracy wisdom of our ancestors. If the strategy in "The Art of War" is the highest principle and the highest wisdom, then the struggle between vassal states discussed in this book is a specific example of this strategy. "The Art of War" was born in the Spring and Autumn Period, which is almost a historical necessity.

The author knows a lot about the stories of ancient Chinese conquests and strategies. It makes people addicted at first glance and is suitable for people of all levels to read. A history novice like me should give it a second try!

The author uses novel-like vivid writing to describe the ups and downs of the struggle between princes, and even those with no basic knowledge can easily immerse themselves in it. This set of designs makes the heavy history as easy as watching a drama. After reading it, I can't help but sigh: It turns out that the history of the Spring and Autumn Period can be so interesting and easy to understand!

I was attracted by the preface and read a few pages of the text. I found it relaxed, interesting and down-to-earth, so I considered continuing reading.

I like the catalog of idioms and allusions in the last chapter the most. The title "Crown Pearl" is just right. I can easily understand those familiar allusions and it is very impressive. It is worth reading again!

The writing is simple and well summarized, and the thoughtful phonetic notation and noun explanations are more suitable for a history novice like me [laughing]

The explanation is very accurate, and the historical facts are also relatively detailed. It is rare to see such an author who carefully studied the era and society at that time, and returned to his true nature!

The author uses vivid writing methods to reconstruct the struggle for hegemony and the collision of wisdom among the princes in the Spring and Autumn Period. He injects narrative charm into the rigorous historical facts and truly achieves the perfect unity of knowledge and readability. It is an excellent historical enlightenment work that is both educational and entertaining.

Based on classics such as "Zuo Zhuan" and "Historical Records", the author focuses on the institutional changes and power games during the Zhou and Qin Dynasties. It not only restores the magnificent picture of the feudal princes, but also reveals the evolution trajectory of China's orthodox lineage. It can be called a solid work on historical themes.

I didn't expect that the complex and difficult "Zuo Zhuan" could become so easy to read. The author writes serious history into a passionate story. The struggle for power is like watching a palace drama, and the struggle for hegemony between princes is comparable to a game of power. It can be easily read and understood even with zero basic knowledge. Recommended!

The most amazing thing is that the whole book has pinyin, so my mother no longer has to worry about me not being able to pronounce the names of ancient people!

After reading the last chapter, I was very touched. The interpretation of Zi Lu also has a heroic flavor. The last paragraph sublimated the entire book.

The author's description of the war between princes is more exciting than watching a TV series, and you can read it with a smile even if you have no basic knowledge. The most considerate thing is that the whole text comes with pinyin, so my mother no longer has to worry about me pronouncing ancient names incorrectly!
