Through imaginary history, the rise and fall of the Byzantine Empire (although the historical figures arranged are not related to the Byzantine Empire) demonstrate the principles of the rise and fall of dynasties mentioned in the "Preface to the Biography of Lingguan". The Byzantine Empire can last for more than a thousand years, surpassing any dynasty in ancient China, but it will eventually die. The feudal dynasty and the slave dynasty will eventually perish and will be replaced by a greater and more advanced system. At the same time, when society enters transformation, society changes. Including the Great Navigation and national wars, all will lead to changes in the world structure. The Byzantine Empire eventually perished just like the United States today, and the Soviet Union thirty years ago was abandoned by the times. It is difficult to gain the world but to lose the world is easy.
Prosperity and suffering for the people, death and suffering for the people
Purpose: Reflection on the feudal dynasty and the various social changes during social transformation
