It not only continues Sima Qian's historical outlook of "studying the relationship between heaven and man, and understanding the changes in ancient and modern times", but also compresses five thousand years into a series of human stories that can be touched and felt with a bright narrative rhythm and a very visual language. Reading it feels like having a conversation with Tai Shigong across generations, but this time, he has adopted a popular tone and abandoned the barrier of classical Chinese, but the depth of his insight has not been reduced by half.
