"Steppe Empire" is a general history of the nomadic peoples of northern Eurasia in ancient times. The book takes the countries and dynasties established by the nomadic people as the outline, and systematically introduces the history of the rise and fall of ancient nomadic tribes or regimes in a chronicle style. This book describes the grand epic of the grassland peoples and their relations with surrounding peoples, as well as the history of thousands of years of collision and integration between nomadic peoples and farming peoples. They broke into developed historical and civilized areas, and while clashing with farming peoples, they also gradually formed their own rich and diverse culture, which had an impact on the entire world's civilization, pattern, order and historical process. These main activities have established a unique historical culture for the grassland peoples and played an important historical role in the process of human civilization.
