? With the Han dynasty, historians divide it into two groups, called the Early Han and the Later Han, also known as the Eastern and Western Han. This is because during the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the country and actually usurped the throne for 18 years. Therefore, before Wang Mang, it was called the Former Han, and after Wang Mang, it was called the Later Han. Moreover, the former Han Dynasty established its capital in Shaanxi, so it was known as the Western Han Dynasty, and the later Han Dynasty established its capital in Luoyang, so it was known as the Eastern Han Dynasty. "The Romance of the Former Han Dynasty" has hundreds of chapters, starting from the beginning of Qin Shihuang and ending with Wang Mang's usurpation of the country. This part is connected with the previous part, starting with Wang Mang and ending with the Three Kingdoms. "The Romance of the Former Han Dynasty" is attached to the Qin Dynasty, and the "Romance of the Later Han Dynasty" is attached to the Three Kingdoms, but they are also unique creations. If we want to talk about the rise and fall of the Later Han Dynasty, it is more complicated than that of the Early Han Dynasty: Wang Mang usurped the country, and the disaster was caused by the Yuan Dynasty. Foreign relatives were harmed. As for this, Guangwu Zhongxing paid close attention to past mistakes and took over the power personally to prevent foreign influence from interfering with the government. Emperor Ming was particularly paternal, and Emperor Zhang was very impressive in his early administration. After Emperor He was emperor, the country's affairs deteriorated day by day. Foreign relatives and eunuchs fought, and eventually they all died together. The power of the country fell into the hands of Zhou Mu, and the heroes fought for hegemony. The weak and the strong preyed on each other, and there were three kingdoms. In total, from Guangwu to Emperor Zhang, it was the era of the dictatorship of kings. From Emperor He to Emperor Huan, it was the era of relatives and eunuchs changing their powers. If Emperor Xian's dynasty was full of changes, it was an era of chaos and conflict at first, then an era of disputes in Fangzhen, and finally an era of competition among the Three Kingdoms... "The Romance of the Later Han" was compiled by Cai Dongfan.

The author draws extensively from official history, occasionally from officials and wild officials, and his narrative is plain, smooth, and methodical; he makes self-evaluations and annotations, and his language is humorous and both reasonable and reasonable. Reading through this book, it is like a historical picture of the Song Dynasty unfolding slowly before your eyes.

After the Han and Jin Dynasties, foreigners gradually came to China and lived in the interior. Subsequently, the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms rose and fell one after another. Later, the weak preyed on the strong, swallowed up each other, moved around, and combined the sixteen territories into a large country called the Northern Wei Dynasty. Later, internal strife broke out in the Northern Wei Dynasty, which divided the east and west and had no time to take care of the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, Jiangnan still needs to be preserved. The Eastern Wei Dynasty was changed to the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the Western Wei Dynasty was changed to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Xitu is divided into three parts, Zhou is the strongest, Qi is the second, and Jiangnan is the weakest. The tripartite war lasted for several years. Qi was merged with the Zhou Dynasty, but only two-tenths of Jiangnan remained and almost belonged to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. At this time, the prime minister Yang Jian usurped the Zhou Dynasty and re-annexed Jiangnan. He not only accepted Zhou Chan but also destroyed the Chen family, and finally unified the Central Plains and merged the north and south.

This book mainly talks about the Chenqiao Mutiny, in which Zhao Kuangyin wore a yellow robe and seized the power of the Zhou Dynasty. The three kingdoms of Liao, Jin and Yuan came to the north one after another and frequently caused border troubles. The Northern Song Dynasty suppressed its troops too much and lacked good generals. Even the second emperor was captured. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a lack of professionalism in appointing talents, a lack of good ministers, troubles in the pavilion, and unjust prisons. The three hundred and twenty years of Zhao and Song Dynasty were ruined. The Song Dynasty had good governance. It cleaned up the palace without causing trouble for women, suppressed eunuchs, had no trouble with eunuchs, harmonized relatives, and had no trouble with clans. The book is a Zhanghui style novel, which mainly tells the story of Zhao Kuangyin, who went through a long journey through the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, wore a yellow robe, gave up his military power over a cup of wine, and also abandoned his martial arts. Under the basic national policy of strengthening the cadres and weakening the branches, literati politics solved the opportunity for the warriors of the previous dynasty to usurp the throne, and also shaped a humanistic empire at the cultural level. But it was unable to break through the political chaos, and the political situation was disrupted. The northern part of the Great Wall was surrounded by powerful neighbors and foreign troubles continued, and half of the country was lost in the Jingkang disaster. After Jingkang, Emperor Gaozong and Zhao Gou rebuilt the empire in Suzhou and Hangzhou under heaven, and lost the illusion of returning to China.
