"Three Hundred Years of the Song Dynasty" uses the timeline from the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty in 960 to the demise of the Yashan naval battle in the Southern Song Dynasty in 1279, and panoramically unfolds the rise and fall of the Song Dynasty over three hundred years. The book takes "seeing big history through little people" as the core of the narrative. Through the ups and downs of ordinary families such as the Su family, Lin family, and Tao family, the book connects the grand picture of political changes, economic innovations, cultural collisions, military struggles, and civilization inheritance.

I've read too many time travel stories and looked at the rise and fall of dynasties from the perspective of small characters.
