What a Song Dynasty 好一个宋朝
Although the Song dynasty was over a thousand years ago, life back then was not as boring as we might imagine. Keeping cats and dogs as pets was already popular. The entertainment found along Song dynasty streets was not all that different from what we enjoy today. City residents already had access to "running water," and commerce was so developed that people had a strong sense of branding. Some shops even had "lightbox advertisements"... This book is a "documentary" about the Song dynasty. Rea

Life in the Song Dynasty 生活在宋朝
If you think “Golden Week” is a modern invention, if you think the Lantern Festival Gala is unique to today, if you think fast-food delivery is something new, if you think only Tang women dared to show off their “assets,” if you think Japan alone has the risqué spectacle of “female sumo,” if you think professional fire brigades exist only in modern China, if you think only modern Western countries have a system of resigning to take responsibility, if you think “state compensation” is a modern co

They cared about oral hygiene and had already started brushing their teeth. Song children also had plenty of toys. The clay dolls popular at the time remain beloved to this day. If there were one word to describe the daily lives of people in the Song Dynasty, it would surely be "refined."

Global National Fate: My Backhanded Blessings Carry the Whole Country 全球国运：我的毒奶带飞全国
I’m Lin Xi, a notorious jinx in the entertainment industry, and I’ve transmigrated into a national-destiny novel as its vicious cannon-fodder character. The original Lin Xi caused a Chinese contestant’s death by saying, “They’re guaranteed to take first place,” and was hounded to death by the entire internet. Facing the livestream camera, I awakened at once and jinxed things in reverse: “I bet our contestant won’t survive three days!” The whole internet flies into a rage and calls me a traitor.
