   I recommend two books to you, both about the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties period. ☞The first is *The Sixteen Kingdoms* – This book tells the story of the heroes of that time and how the Northern Wei unified the Sixteen Kingdoms. It's not unofficial history; the author wrote it while pursuing his graduate studies at Zhejiang University, so you can read it with confidence. It's also suitable for children. ☞The second is *The Chronicles of the Northern Wei* – This book follows the Sixteen Kingdoms period and tells the story of the Northern Wei Dynasty. I quite like the Northern Wei Dynasty; there's a saying, "The Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties, fascinating yet absurd." The social customs of that time were very open, so I think it's worthwhile to learn about it.
