The winds of Pingcheng have blown for fifteen hundred years, and the story left beneath Datong’s walls cannot be told with the word “weighty” alone. In my new book, “Pingcheng Datong,” I follow the traces of the city walls, palaces, Buddhist temples, and the people who lived here to revisit this ancient city’s past and present. I invite you to open this book and journey with me through the dust of the ages, hear the echoes that still linger in the depths of history, and rediscover a long-lost stirring of the heart as we gaze across a thousand years.
Ever since I encountered "Pingcheng Datong", my heart has been touched. Although I am not good at pen and ink, I can really understand the content of the book. The historical materials in the book are solid and detailed. The most valuable thing is the author's unique and profound historical perspective, which allows him to go beyond the stereotyped records and understand the ups and downs behind the Northern Wei Dynasty. The writing is calm and elegant, and every word is warm, telling the vicissitudes of Pingcheng thousands of years ago. Immersing yourself in the book can not only enrich your historical knowledge, but also often make you deeply moved by the words. It has a long lasting aftertaste and is worth reading carefully over and over again. I was really moved by "Pingcheng Datong". The author is rooted in the Pingcheng years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and does not just narrate popular stories. With his own thorough and unique historical insights, he slowly unfolds the changes in dynasties, court intrigues, disputes between Buddhism and Taoism, and the blending of ethnic groups. The book describes the rise and fall of the Tuoba family and the cruel system of the death of the son and noble mother. It describes Cui Hao's ambition but suffered disaster because of his direct writing of national history. It tells how Emperor Taiwu destroyed Buddhism and Emperor Wencheng used Tan Yao to dig the Yungang Grottoes. Each major event is dismantled layer by layer, revealing the deep entanglement between power and belief. The text is thick and elegant, full of literary beauty and full of speculation. During these days of listening to the book, I gained not only knowledge about the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but also an understanding of the human nature and vicissitudes of life behind the times. It is worth reading slowly and carefully and re-reading again and again. It is a rare and high-quality historical work.
The rich heritage awakened my thinking about the great unity of history. After reading a few chapters, I felt that the momentum, foundation and writing style were extraordinary. I deeply feel that it is commendable that a theme that has been painted by many masters still has such courage and appeal.
