Rich content, compact rhythm and clear structure

The content is objective, the structure is reasonable and it's nice to listen to.

This book made me understand that there is no unified dynasty, wars are everywhere, the people are in dire straits, the cruelty of the war, the loss of humanity, are completely outrageous. It made me understand that even if there is a unified dynasty, even if it is a faint king, there will not be so many people affected by the war. This book is well written and fast-paced. I recommend it if you want to understand history.

The characters are colorful and the storyline is compact and fascinating.

Good-looking, no nonsense, the story is coherent

I think it is called "The Heroes of the Five Dynasties", which is very different from the "History of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms" that I imagined. First of all, this history book does not have any historical data to support it, not even classical Chinese. Secondly, this is a novelized history. The generals in the article can either fly over walls or fly over walls, or have extraordinary feats. The counselors in it are even more exaggerated. They arrange their troops in formations, make every strategy, and predict the future. They are all basic skills. It is completely different from the books I want to read in "Lei Ming". However, novelization also has advantages, that is, the story is very interesting and it is easy to accumulate materials for writing novels.

He has literary talent and basically respects historical facts. Informative, interesting, and enjoyable to read!

Rich in content, refreshing to read, a very good work

This novel is so beautiful, with rich and colorful plot, ups and downs, and every detail.

With warriors in power and endless wars, amidst the chaos of frequent dynasty changes, we dismantle the entire process of the difficult reconstruction of social order and figure out how troubled times gave rise to the Song Dynasty's civil servant politics. The book has strict logic and a unique perspective. It not only piles up historical events, but also digs deeper into the changes in power and social structure.

This book is very well written. It truly narrates the history of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. After listening to it, I have a deep understanding of history.

The concept is clever and the writing is low-key, suitable for enjoying the pleasure of reading in conjunction with historical facts.

Yes, it describes the corruption and chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty, extending to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, vividly, realistically and with sparkling writing.

Rich content, compact rhythm and clear structure

The history of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is a history of constant wars and cannibalism for thousands of years. It is also the door to understanding the rise and fall of the Chinese nation. To understand the rise and fall, we must not only know the prosperity, but also the chaos and troughs. Only by understanding history can we make correct decisions.

This book is very materialistic in history, unlike the books written by the ancients, which advocate the reincarnation of cause and effect, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Throughout the past and present, the support of the people determines the outcome of history. It is especially obvious in this era. Those who do not win the hearts of the people will collapse at the first touch. Those who win the hearts of the people will fight to the death and defeat the many with less. This is my deepest impression after reading this book. The people's hearts and minds are so elusive, and in the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, they are not so quantifiable. We can only deduce that the Qing Dynasty won the hearts and minds of the people and gained legitimacy.

This book is clear and well-written.

The plot is vivid, almost the same as recorded in history
