Having said that, many people find history boring and boring, like chewing wax. But what about the Song Dynasty? It's different! This guy lived for more than three hundred years, starting with Zhao Kuangyin's "yellow robe" farce in 960 and ending with the Southern Song Dynasty's little emperor jumping into the sea in 1279. There were countless dumbfounding stories in between. Think about a dynasty that was so economically developed that it seemed like it was cheating. It invented movable type printing, gunpowder, the compass, and the world's earliest banknotes. But it was so weak in the military that it sent "year-old coins" to its neighbors as protection money every year. Literati were in power, the emperor loved to paint and write poems, and the prime ministers debated reforms every day, but barbarians were always knocking on the door on the border.
In this book, I will tell you about the events of the Song Dynasty in a relaxed style. It's not a serious history book, but like a chat, with a bit of humor and a bit of complaints. Let's start from the beginning and use my words to explain the history clearly. Are you ready? Come, make a cup of tea, sit tight, let's go!
