"The Irregular History of the Tang Dynasty: A 2 Million Words Hilarious Guide to the Whole Tang Dynasty" is a panoramic unorthodox historical novel, spanning 289 years, 21 emperors, 100+ top poets, and 300+ strange characters from Li Yuan's "forced start-up" to Zhu Wen's "cancellation of the Tang Dynasty". The author chews "Old Book of Tang", "New Book of Tang" and "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" into jokes, supplements them with unearthed epitaphs, Dunhuang jokes, and Tang people's diaries. Using the rhythm of a talk show, the rhyme of rap, and the bargaining logic of Pinduoduo, he packages the arrogance of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the entanglement of the middle Tang Dynasty, and the failure of the late Tang Dynasty in one go. After reading you will know:
• The Xuanwumen Incident was actually a "breakfast gang fight"
• Yang Guifei's lychee freight can buy half of Guangzhou
• Li Bai's "will drink wine" was first used as a bar promotion copy
• How Huang Chao escalated college entrance examination anxiety into a world war after failing the exam
[Suitable for reading]
Tang history lovers aged 9-99 who want to laugh out their abs, scumbag students who are persuaded to quit classical Chinese, and dreamers who want to travel through time but are worried about starving to death.
Open this book and you will find that Tang Dynasty is not pretentious, immodest, or immoral, and all it needs is a thumbs up from you.
