There were two great dynasties in ancient Chinese history, the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. However, after the great rule, two great chaos followed. That is, the turbulent times of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty and the turbulent times of the Ten Kingdoms at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. But compared with the chaotic times of the late Tang Dynasty, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty were chaotic in terms of standards, levels, brilliance, and art. Many people even believe that the troubled times of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms in the late Jin Dynasty, which were even more chaotic than these two troubled times, were directly a continuation of the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms. However, people's understanding of the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms is mainly influenced by the romance novel "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which contains many falsehoods and fallacies. This book focuses on restoring the romance based on historical facts and strives to show a true history of the Three Kingdoms.

Moreover, its economic development, cultural prosperity, and ideological prosperity are enough to be praised by future generations. Mr. Chen Yinke, a master of modern history, said with great joy: "The culture of the Chinese nation has evolved over thousands of years and reached its peak in the Tianshui Dynasty." The "Tianshui Dynasty" here refers to the Song Dynasty. So, in the long history of the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, what interesting things happened and what interesting people appeared? This book explains it all for you.
