What is history? Textbooks tell us that history is about the replacement of dynasties, changes in systems, and the development of productive forces. But I think history is the days lived by a group of people. In this group of people there are heroes, traitors, loyal ministers, villains, victims who are crying and screaming, nobles who are drunk and dreaming, scholars who are concerned about the country and the people, and politicians who are speculating. They are just like us, they laugh, cry, are afraid of death, are greedy for money, have ideals, and do stupid things.
In this long river of five thousand years, some people left their names and some turned into dust. But every life has illuminated this ancient country at some time and in some way.
This book just wants to collect these lights and tell them to you.
Success or failure, rise and fall, turn around and it will be empty. But those living lives and vivid faces should not be buried by time.
