It is not easy to write historical novels, and each chapter is adapted from real historical events. It is not easy for the author to create, so he tries his best to write each story to the maximum extent to ensure the authenticity of each story. History should not be just words, history is also flesh and blood, and it is even more emotional. Every historical figure is a protagonist. You sing and I will appear.

Before I opened this book about the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms, my impression of this period of history was only "chaos" - for more than a hundred years, dozens of regimes came on stage, and the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Di, and Qiang took turns. After closing the book, I discovered that this period of time that we had deliberately blurred was never a "fault" in Chinese civilization, but rather a nirvana completed in blood and fire. The author did not write this period of history into a boring genealogy table and war anecdote. He broke down the rise and fall of each regime into warm character stories: you will see that Liu Yuan, who founded the former Zhao Dynasty, was obviously the successor of the Xiongnu chanyu, but he spent his whole life under the banner of "reviving the Han Dynasty". A benevolent man who unified the north, but because of the pride of "throwing a whip to cut off the flow", Fei Shui lost everything when he was defeated, and finally died in the hands of the generals he had treated leniently; he would also be amazed by the numerous talents of the Murong family, from Murong Kaiji to Murong Chong's restoration of the country, "Murong Jun" and "Murong Chui" are like aristocratic idols who came out of the Xianbei grassland, but in the end they could not escape the fate of internal strife and division. What impressed me the most was that the author did not fall back on the old narrative of "Five Husbands Chaosing China" to criticize and separate. Instead, he revealed the historical inevitability behind this chaos: the inward migration of nomadic peoples has been the general trend since the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Central Plains dynasties did not do a good job of integration. However, after the old order was shattered, everyone was moving in the direction of "unification" - no matter which clan the monarchs were, they all wanted to unify China, and they all followed the Han system in opening schools, selecting officials, and encouraging farmers and farmers. Those Hu monarchs wanted to prove that they were orthodox, and the Han people who crossed south were also preserving their civilization. After the collision of the two lines, the Hu and Han bloodlines and cultures gradually merged. The seeds of the subsequent unification of the Sui and Tang Dynasties had actually been planted in the chaos of the Sixteen Kingdoms. Of course, the background of troubled times is ultimately sad. The book accurately describes the cruelty of that period of history: during the Yongjia Rebellion, "Luojing was overthrown, and the ladies of Zhongzhou fled to Jiangzuo for sixteen or seventeen years." The refugees who fled south begging for food, the people who stayed in the north and were robbed as "two-legged sheep", and the lives of countless ordinary people were as light as grass in the transition of political power. As you read it, you can't help but sigh that the word "fusion" that we are familiar with today is the result of the blood and tears of many generations. If reading history can always help people understand "where it came from," then reading the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms will let you understand: Our civilization has never been a single-line continuation of a single race. It has always grown stronger and stronger through collision, fragmentation, and reorganization. This period of chaotic history for more than a hundred years is not a "shame" for Chinese civilization, but is precisely proof of the most resilient civilization - even if it is broken into pieces, it can eventually grow back together and become a new, more open civilization. If you are also curious about this neglected history, this book will help you turn the vague outline into a story with flesh and blood and warmth that you can touch. After reading it, you will understand: the so-called China is to tolerate differences and integrate into one.
We have always been familiar with the history of the prosperous age, and many wonderful books have appeared. For the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties only remains in their names. The divisions that followed the unification of the Three Kingdoms by the Jin Dynasty began with the internal rebellion of the Eight Kings. This chaos almost completely wiped out the vitality of the Western Jin Dynasty. After more than ten years of internal strife, the Hu tribes in the north began to move south on a large scale. The Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Qiang, Di and other Hu tribes began to take the opportunity to stand on their own. Then the "Five Hus Rebellion" incident broke out, and the Central Plains was plunged into darkness... The author needs a deep cultural connotation to write this period of history, because there are no classics in troubled times, and the story is like fragments floating in the long river of history. Read it carefully to find the latest trends. It is a good book not to be missed if you like historical dramas. The author uses heavy writing and profound human nature to explore many characters, and each character is vividly portrayed. Reading this book can also help you learn about history. This is a rare good book, and a must-see for readers who like historical novels.

History has never escaped from this law. Many historical figures emerged in every chaos. Starting from the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, which started with the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, when the Central Plains fell into the Hu-Han separatism, it ended around the time of the unification of the Sui Dynasty, which lasted for more than two hundred years. In textbook language, this period of time is called the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Heroes emerge in troubled times, and the more times the sword licks blood, the easier it is for top military talents to emerge. The author uses his profound history to present a majestic historical picture and work, with delicate writing and vivid character descriptions. Let us learn about many unknown stories. For example, among the warring countries of the Sixteen Kingdoms, Qian Yan was a rare relatively stable regime, and Murong Ke was the core military pillar of this regime. Well worth reading if you like historical novels.
