Spanning the Sui and Tang dynasties, and running through the rise and fall of a hundred years, it is a dark secret history hidden behind the glorious annals of history.
"Collection of Weird Things in the Sui and Tang Dynasties" takes the perspective of three generations of the Su family, and through a series of "strange things" units that seem independent but are secretly connected, it deeply analyzes the magnificent seventy years from the founding of the emperor in the early Sui Dynasty to the Zhenguan rule in the early Tang Dynasty. It reveals under the grand historical picture of dynasties changing and heroes emerging in large numbers, those dark corners that have been deliberately forgotten or unrecorded by official history - the curse of the frustrated, the resentment of the subjugated, the bloody residue of power struggles, and the crazy attempts of those who try to use evil magic to fight the torrent of history.
This is not only a mystery and suspense novel, but also a history of the rise and fall of dynasties, an ukiyo-e of human nature and an examination of ancient mysterious culture written through "strange things". It explores how power breeds monsters, how history buries the truth, and how individuals, in the gap between time and destiny, should stick to their beliefs, record the truth, and protect the hard-won but always undercurrent of peace and prosperity.
