"The Rise and Fall of the Song Dynasty in Three Hundred Years": A thousand-year bet between prosperity and fragility
In 960, Chenqiaoyi rebelled, and Zhao Kuangyin wore a yellow robe, starting a three-hundred-year legend of the Song Dynasty. Here is the ultimate prosperity of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", with names such as Su Shi, Wang Anshi, Yue Fei, and Sima Qian that light up the annals of history, accounting for 60% of the world's GDP, and a civilization that leads the world for thousands of years. The army is equipped with muskets and thunderbolts, and has the most powerful fleet in the world.
But why did all this fail to create an indestructible empire?
This book uses a novel to review the historical scene, and uses a historian's perspective to penetrate the myths of success and failure. You will experience the political wisdom of releasing military power over a glass of wine, watch the humiliation and calculations of the Chanyuan Alliance, grieve the eternal injustice of Yue Fei's Fengbo Pavilion, and witness the final scene of Yashan's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians crossing the sea to die for their country.
This book uses time as the warp and events as the latitude. While restoring the historical scene, it also pertinently interrogates the deep logic of the system and human nature, and composes a soul-stirring elegy for this dynasty that makes people love and hate each other.
