Remote and barren, living with the barbarians, how did a small country rise against the odds in the turbulent times of the Spring and Autumn Period, annex the eight wastelands, and dominate the world? This book condenses the history of the rise and fall of the Qin Dynasty for more than 500 years. The historical materials used by the author are all from "Zuo Zhuan", "Historical Records", "Warring States Policy", "Lu Shi Chun Qiu", "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", as well as the works of hundreds of scholars in the pre-Qin period, as well as textual research and comments from past dynasties. The author combines the opinions of many scholars and focuses on the rise of the Qin Empire and the arduous process of unifying the country. Advocating martial arts, advocating wisdom, treating talents courteously, and innovating systems. Since Shang Yang's reform, Qin State has been at war with the other six countries for more than two hundred years, finally making Qin Shihuang dominate the world. Du Mu in the Tang Dynasty once lamented: "Those who destroy the Six Kingdoms are the Six Kingdoms and are not Qin; those who belong to Qin are Qin and are not the world." From Jing Ke's assassination of Qin to the burning of books and humiliation of Confucian scholars, from Zhao Gao's manipulation of power to the cruelty of loyal and good people, unbridled expropriation and cruel massacres have caused loyal and virtuous people to choke, and scholars to become alienated, and the people dare to be angry but dare not speak out. Even if the Qin regime collected the weapons of the world and cast twelve golden figures, it still could not stop the rebel army who raised poles as flags and chopped trees as soldiers; even if the Qin regime burned books, humiliated Confucians, and restricted the world's thoughts, it could not bear to die at the hands of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu who did not study. In just ten years, the Qin State went from being invincible to quickly perishing, and ended hastily in a turbulent uprising. This book connects the fragments of history to give you a coherent and comprehensive understanding of the real Qin Empire. Qin Dynasty, it turned out to be like this.

The Jin Dynasty, a dynasty with little sense of historical existence, ended one troubled era and started another. In the Jin Dynasty, as the dominance of Confucianism was broken, innovations occurred in philosophy, literature, art, history, and science and technology, and some of them became independent knowledge. Thoughts include metaphysics, Taoism, and Buddhism that were developed in the local area and Buddhism spread eastward from India. The grassland culture of the border peoples and the Chinese culture of the Jin Dynasty gradually began cultural exchanges and national integration. Although the culture of the two Jin Dynasties developed towards diversification and was an era of cultural creation, conflict and integration, the two Jin Dynasties were the epochal period of the strong and powerful cultural inheritance of the Qin and Han Dynasties. The decline of culture caused the new political system to fall apart soon after its existence. We have to learn from history. The book contains many detailed and wonderful descriptions of war, as well as analysis of the state of the world and people's hearts. By describing the chaos, it enlightens us that while we must inherit the strong and powerful spirit of the great era, we should also pay attention to the experiences and lessons of the chaotic era.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the best era and the worst era in Chinese history. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were an era of great changes, an era of inheriting the past and forging ahead with the future. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were characterized by constant turmoil and killings, but they gave birth to cultural greatness and unlimited historical opportunities. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the years when China's martial spirit was at its peak, demonstrating bloody and flying vitality. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period advocated bravery and resourcefulness, intertwined with bloodiness and power. The Spring and Autumn Period was the last glorious era of Chinese aristocratic spirit. The Warring States Period was a bit more cruel and bloody, but it also gave civilians more opportunities to step onto the political stage, making society more vibrant. This book takes the five-hundred-year struggle for supremacy among princes during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods as the main line, and presents this soul-stirring and magnificent history in a three-dimensional and panoramic manner. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were also a foggy era in Chinese history, with insufficient historical data and confusing clues. This book is based on the records of classic historical books, and through precise tailoring and reasoning, it clearly presents the relationships between characters and historical events, and fully reproduces the legendary era created by princes, generals, celebrities, and small figures.

Since Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao rebelled and used force to seize the power of the Later Zhou Dynasty, he was very wary of the situation in the Five Dynasties period when princes were entrenched and attacking each other. He was even more afraid of being conquered due to doubts about the legitimacy of the "yellow robe", so he "released his military power with a glass of wine" to consolidate the foundation of imperial power. At the same time, the external threat of confrontation between neighboring regimes existed for a long time. The Song Dynasty also tried to take into account domestic and foreign affairs to expand its territory. It failed in important battles with the Liao, Xixia, Jin, and Mongolian-Yuan wars, and failed to realize its long-cherished wish for unification. The pattern of internal and external troubles formed the basic national policy of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty to "defend the internal situation and weaken the external situation" and "strengthen the trunk and weak branches". He focused on preventing internal chaos and passively defended himself externally. Compared with military officers, the monarchs of the Song Dynasty believed that civil servants would not pose a substantial threat to the imperial power. The tendency of "advocating literature and suppressing military affairs" cultivated through imperial examinations gradually emerged. The political status of civil and military officials became increasingly disparate, which gradually formed the governance philosophy of "cultivating civil servants and cultivating civil servants." The Zhao and Song dynasties were born out of sorrow, poor and weak, and the overall country was weak. However, the wealth was hidden among the people, and commerce and trade reached its peak. During the two and three hundred years of the Song Dynasty, it created brilliant economic and cultural achievements, ranking at the forefront of the world at that time. It is worthy of being a splendid era of prosperous civilization in Chinese history. However, due to the "swords and guns stored in the treasury, the horses released in the Nanshan Mountains", they blindly followed the "ancestral law" and implemented the policy of "valuing civility over military force", failing to "migrate with the times" and failing to update the national governance model, which resulted in passive diplomacy and weak military, which eventually led to the end of the dynasty.
