There is no more rigorous and serious historical novel than this one. The author often throws out allusions, historical materials, and references, and the writing style is also poetic and picturesque. It was written during the Western Jin Dynasty, and actually covers the entire ancient times. It has far-reaching implications and grand scenes. I think it's enjoyable to read over and over again. It's a highly recommended book.

Sima Qian is good at capturing fatal details in grand historical narratives, such as Fan Kuai's shield in the Hongmen Banquet and Yu Ji's sword in Gaixia Song. This book is also well versed in this. It describes the An-Shi Rebellion not only with military reports and battle reports, but also with the worn-out soles of a postman and the terror of a palace maid all night long. This brushwork of using small things to see big things and using small things to make things more obvious is the highest tribute to Tai Shigong's narrative art.
