From Dayu's flood control to Wu Ding's resurgence, from Xia Jie's subjugation to Pan Geng's move to Yin, there is no joke here, only real history that is more exciting than the joke.
The author wants to use official history as the bones and literature as the flesh, focusing on the emperors of the past dynasties of China - their talents and absurd tyranny, their love, hatred, and life and death choices.
This is not a dry chronology, but a narrative history with "people" at its core.
The legend of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Dayu "passed through the house three times without entering"; Taikang lost the country, and the song of the five sons "the people are the foundation of the country"; Shaokang was resurrected, and he counterattacked from a fugitive to a restored king; Kong Jia raised a dragon, the absurdity hides the final madness of the Xia Dynasty; Shang Tang revolution Fate, "open the net on three sides" to capture the hearts of the world; Yi Yin released Taijia, the ministers dared to depose the monarch, and the monarch dared to admit his mistakes and correct his mistakes; Pan Geng moved to Yin, and single-handedly turned the tide from collapse; in the prosperous period of Wu Ding, women were fond of going to war, and Fu Yue went from slave to prime minister...
Each chapter focuses on an emperor, delving deeper into his character, motivations and destiny. Write about their glory as well as their loneliness; write about their achievements as well as their repentance. Let those names sleeping in the history books stand up again, breathe, struggle, and burn.
The first volume, "Emperor's Industry", takes you back to the Central Plains more than 3,000 years ago from Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to Wu Ding and Zhongxing. You can see the first wisp of smoke after the flood recedes and listen to the first prayer when the oracle bones are burning. Emperors are not born gods, but people who are pushed onto the altar by the times.
Their stories are where we come from.
