The Qing Dynasty, a dynasty that coexisted with glory and humiliation, an empire at a turning point in history, ultimately failed to seize the opportunity of history and fell in the torrent of history. This era of rule by the Aisin Gioro family witnessed the rise and fall of the Chinese nation. The nearly three hundred years of the Qing Dynasty were an era of ups and downs, from the peak of glory to the valley of decay.

The Tang Dynasty is a historical pinnacle that we are proud of. The glory of the Tang Dynasty has always made us yearn for it. This majestic and unprecedented empire has left countless reveries and questions to future generations. This book starts from the perspective of the family, restores historical details through a variety of historical materials, and reinterprets the Li family of the Tang Dynasty in a popular way.

In the thousands of years of Chinese history, most dynasty changes have been accompanied by bloodshed and massacres. Only the Song Dynasty is a rare exception in Chinese history. When Zhao Kuangyin replaced the Later Zhou Dynasty, he did not adopt bloody methods, nor did he worry about the restoration of the descendants of the previous dynasty and massacre. Instead, he made an alliance with the stone and asked the new king to abide by his oath and treat the Zhou family well. In the Three Dynasties of the Song Dynasty, Confucianism was revived, and the society was filled with the atmosphere of respecting teachers and teaching. While emphasizing the monopoly of power, the emperor of the Song Dynasty also took care of the physical appearance and gentleness of his officials. Therefore, he rarely killed people in battles and was relatively open-minded and honest. By the end of the Song Dynasty, there were no serious eunuch chaos and local separatism, and the number of mutinies and civil unrest was relatively rare in Chinese history.

Like previous dynasties, in a traditional country like China, family rule was the choice of that era. From father to son, and from son to grandson, the emperors only hoped that their position could be passed on to their descendants, but they did not care about the virtuous, filial, or stupid nature of their descendants, and it was precisely because of this that the fate of family rule was determined. There have been more than ten emperors in the Zhu family, most of whom were incompetent or ignored the government. They held the position of emperor but did not fulfill their obligations as emperors. Even so, the Zhu family has ruled China for nearly three hundred years. What is the reason for this miracle?
