Why did the Anshi Rebellion break out? How did women, eunuchs, party members, barbarians, warriors, and businessmen bring down the powerful Tang Empire? To answer these questions and understand that period of history, please read "Yi Zhongtian History of China Volume 16: The An-Shi Rebellion". After ending the chaos during the Tang Zhongzong and Tang Ruizong periods, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji took power. The young emperor worked hard to govern, appointing Yao Chong and Song Jing as prime ministers, Yu Wenrong to manage finances, and Zhang Shuo to assist in government. Nearly a hundred years after the founding of the country, the Tang Empire ushered in its heyday, known in history as the "Kaiyuan Age." Such a prosperous age made the aging Tang Xuanzong very proud. He was addicted to "The Song of Colorful Clothes and Feather Clothes", obsessed with the world of two people with Yang Guifei, and appointed treacherous ministers. In the past, Li Linfu was in power, and later Yang Guozhong was in power. An Lushan, who was born as a barbarian in the border area, was accumulating strength little by little. Finally, in December 755 AD, An Lushan raised troops against Fan Yang. The Tang Dynasty, which had been in peace for a long time, was vulnerable to a blow. The road to suppressing the rebellion was long and arduous. After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was barely supported by eunuchs, internal strife among courtiers, separatist vassal towns, and barbarians. However, the peasant uprising army led by Huang Chao kicked the dynasty back again. In 907 AD, the Tang Dynasty perished.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Han Empire, everything was in ruins. Empress Lu's power was in the hands of both the government and the public, and her relatives started to stir up trouble, leading to chaos among the Lu emperors. The two emperors Wen and Jing recuperated the country, did little corvee and paid little tax, and resumed production. Everything has been prepared, just waiting for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to take the stage. He was determined to forge ahead and made the Han Dynasty's politics, economy, and military become unprecedentedly powerful. Politically, he strengthened the imperial power, implemented favor orders, and weakened the princes and kings; culturally, he adopted Dong Zhongshu's suggestion, deposed hundreds of schools of thought, and only respected Confucianism, making it the mainstream thought for two thousand years; militarily, he defeated the old enemy of the Huns, making the Han Empire the leading military power at that time; economically, he listened to Sang Hongyang's suggestion, and established the Yantieguan camp, which greatly enriched the national treasury. Under his management, the Han Empire was proud of the East. Scholar Yi Zhongtian subverts the traditional writing method of historical works. With beautiful poetic language and a unique and innovative global perspective, he will spend five years writing five masterpieces with a total of 36 volumes, "Yi Zhongtian's History of China".

Genghis Khan, the "genius of a generation", was born, and the Mongolian cavalry swept across the Eurasian continent in just a few decades. Where did they come from? Is he the chosen one or a short-lived troublemaker? The pattern of world civilization is being reshuffled. Where will the wheel of Chinese history go? Welcome to the war world of Genghis Khan.

This book will help you understand the adolescence of our nation - the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Go and see those assassins who committed suicide, the beauties who pursued true love, the warriors who never looked back, the loyal ministers, the envoys who turned the tide, and the humane ghosts and gods. The assassins chose to kill themselves for the sake of the saying: A man dies for his confidant, and a woman dies for her favor. Among them was Nie Zheng, an assassin who was even more tragic than Jing Ke. He came out because he was grateful for Yan Zhongzi's favor and appreciation. After the deed was accomplished, he brutally cut off his face, gouged out his own eyes, and finally even disemboweled and removed his intestines, just to cut off clues, hide his identity, and not harm his employer and relatives. As an "assassin", his "work" was really good.

Alexander, who came out of Macedonia, led Rome to fight Persia, conquer Egypt, and invade India. However, Macedonia, which was promoted to an empire, fell apart behind Alexander. The "Age of Kings" established the People's Assembly and the Senate system, but freedom and law eventually replaced the king. The republic lasted for five hundred years, but collapsed after the assassination of Caesar. The person who inherited Caesar's will was Octavian, who came from a poor family, and he finally achieved "peace under Rome." After that, the Roman Empire continued to be in turmoil, and the five wise kings were unable to turn the tide. Like Rome, the Han Dynasty also grew up on its own and had no faith. After Wang Mang's reforms and restructuring, both farmers and businesses suffered losses, and public resentment boiled over. From this, the Western Han Dynasty transitioned to the Eastern Han Dynasty. Scholar Yi Zhongtian subverts the traditional writing method of historical works. With beautiful poetic language and a unique and innovative global perspective, he will spend five years writing five masterpieces with a total of 36 volumes, "Yi Zhongtian's History of China".

The strategy of Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism and Law to save the world: The world is in chaos and the market needs to be "rescued". Pre-Qin scholars are contending with each other. Which one is right and wrong is Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism and Law? Same world, different dreams - self-restraint and propriety, loving you is discussed, but state-owned enterprise reform and loving you are not discussed, saving can only be achieved by not tossing, double-dealing and domineering - who should I leave this world to? To save the world, save people first, to save people first, save hearts. Crisis turns into gold. How should we deal with it? Yi Zhongtian answered the questions of the pre-Qin scholars, saying that the great way is simple, easy and refreshing.

The 24th volume "Destiny and Choice" is the summary volume of the Chinese History series. Yi Zhongtian takes you through a quick flashback, beginning with the "rise of China" in the Luoyang Basin 3,700 years ago. It gives you a bird's-eye view of how the Western Zhou Dynasty built the Chinese civilization circle with political wisdom, and how it passed the blame of "unclear property rights" to its descendants. After two hundred years of trial and error, reform and contention during the Warring States Period, China finally entered the imperial era. Since then, the history of the Chinese empire has been clearly divided into four periods: the founding period from Qin and Han to the Three Kingdoms 410 years; the 400 years from the Three Kingdoms, Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, the trial and error, exploration, and integration period; the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties in 683 years, the peak period; and the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties in 647 years, the finalization period. Along the way, we have chosen to turn a country into an empire; we have chosen to respect Confucianism alone and integrate Buddhism and Taoism; we have chosen to open up the north and the south and integrate the Hu and Han; unfortunately, we have also chosen to remain in seclusion and deceive ourselves with illusions. Why these choices and not others? Please see the answer to "Destiny and Choice".

Among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Jiajing was the most skilled at dancing. He was able to ensure that he had great power, but he was not as hardworking as Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Chengzu. The only ones who were unlucky were his officials and the empire. The chief assistants changed like a revolving door until Yan Song came to power. Throughout his life, Yan Song was only a favored minister rather than a powerful minister. Although he did a lot of harm to others, he was eventually tricked by Emperor Jiajing. Hai Rui, who has gone through many ups and downs, also reflects a strange phenomenon: everyone knows that Hai Rui is incorruptible, but almost everyone wants to isolate him. The lonely Hai Rui could not even resign and could only serve as a living fossil in Nanjing as a sign of the empire's promotion of morality. Zhang Juzheng was even more complicated. He took advantage of the emperor's youth to rush to implement reforms, but in the end he almost ended up having his coffin opened and his body slaughtered. The only thing that is certain is that as an educator, he failed; as a reformer, he also failed. After Emperor Wanli turned thirty-three, he stopped looking at the court and hid in the deep palace quietly. Cabinet ministers like to see but not see him, and they like to criticize memorials but not approve them. What on earth has he done? Did the Ming Dynasty die in Wanli rather than Chongzhen, as later generations said?

Shang Yang's reforms led to the rise of Qin in anger. Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms and united the world, establishing a unified country with an autocratic monarchy. He is diligent. I went to rest after reading the One Hundred and Twenty Jin Bamboo Briefs every day. He is cautious. No one is allowed to carry weapons in the palace, so when Jing Ke came to assassinate him, everyone could only stare. He was suspicious. They change their residence every day, and anyone who exposes their whereabouts will be punished by death. He is cruel. The criticism of Li Si spread outside the palace, and because they could not find out who had leaked the secret, everyone present was killed. With such fortifications in place, it's time to secure our position, right? However, Qin's harsh rule personally sent him to the guillotine, and the great ship of Qin sank in just fifteen years. When Chu and Han fought, Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor and followed the Qin Dynasty system. The Qin Dynasty was not dead after all. The "imperial system" pioneered by Qin Shihuang dominated Chinese history for 2,132 years. .

Liu Yuan was clearly the emperor of the Huns, but he designated the country as Han, regarded Liu Bang and Liu Bei as his ancestors, and chose to "list on the backdoor." Shi Le was just a slave who was sold, but he was crowned king and emperor and successfully achieved a "counterattack". Fu Jian unified the north and was full of ambitions. In the battle of Feishui, the wind and cranes roared, and the grass and trees were all soldiers. The primitive and barbaric Xianbei Tuoba tribe, with shaved heads and braids, quietly emerged in the north, and the myth that "Hu did not have a century-old national destiny" was broken. Tuoba changed his surname to Yuan, Dugu changed his surname to Liu, and Bu Liugu changed his surname to Lu... He didn't speak Xianbei but spoke Chinese, and he didn't wear Xianbei clothes but Hanfu.

Not long after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he overturned the table of traditional politics. Through a series of combined punches, he rebuilt the imperial system and changed the course of China. Zhu Di usurped the throne from his nephew and moved the capital to the border city of Beijing. His institutional design established the personality and characteristics of the entire Ming Dynasty. The Zhu Ming Dynasty was a dynasty with the surname Zhu through and through: the emperors were arbitrary and capricious; ministers were reduced to domestic slaves; literary prisons and eunuchs tyrannizing power emerged in endlessly; Jin Yiwei and the East-West Factory were all-pervasive. On the edge of imperial power, Jiangnan was prosperous and the people were charming. The prosperous towns are economically active and have given birth to diverse and novel market cultures. From temples to rivers and lakes, the Ming Dynasty is wonderful.

Facing the many crises in the Song Dynasty, the newly ascended young emperor Song Shenzong planned to get rid of the bad government and restore the country's prestige. He needs a revolution and a helper. The talented Wang Anshi stepped onto the stage of reform. He recruited reformist talents and established relevant institutions to promote reform. A series of new laws were quickly launched. Unexpectedly, although the desire for reform is good, its implementation has many drawbacks. Opposition groups rose up to attack, and Wang Anshi resigned as prime minister twice, insisting that Sima Guang, who protected the ancestral family law, take power and abolish the new law. The rational Su Dongpo did not please both the old and the new, and almost died because of the "Wutai Poetry Case".

Zhao Kuangyin wears a yellow robe, and Liu Yong lingers in the brothel singing about the dawn wind and the waning moon. Di Tiantian went on a rampage, while Bao Gong sat in Kaifeng Mansion and acted impartially.

This book is a wonderful summary of Professor Yi Zhongtian's many years of aesthetic research and writing. In this work, Yi Zhongtian cited a large number of anthropological materials and elaborated on a basic point of view: Art was created by humans specifically to achieve human confirmation. In art, through the experience and transmission of emotions, people's self-verification and mutual verification between people are realized. This is the "confirmation theory of the essence of art". This book starts from the perspective of human beings stepping out of nature, and examines a large number of primitive art forms such as crafts, architecture, sculpture, human body decoration, dance, drama, painting, music, poetry, etc. It is not only an important work for understanding the origin and essence of human art, but also a vivid illustration of primitive art.

Cao Cao originally did not have this obligation, nor did he have the ability. Why did he step forward and completely break with Dong Zhuo, who had used him so much, and did not hesitate to fight him with an egg against a stone? After the defeat, how did Cao Cao survive from the desperate situation, develop and grow while constantly correcting his mistakes, conquer Yanzhou, welcome the emperor, defeat Yuan Shu, capture Lu Bu, surrender Zhang Xiu, fight Yuan Shao, and become the greatest winner? Why did Cao Cao, who unified northern China, defeat Chibi and never cross the Yangtze River? From then on, how should Cao Cao, who was in his old age and full of ambitions, plan his world and life?

Yi Zhongtian's reflections on the imperial system. The process of Chinese and Western history is a process of "mutual victory". Sometimes we are better than others, and sometimes others are better than us. The trouble is just that people are better than us in modern times. Our scenery is beautiful, but it has become a thing of the past. This makes people sad. Melancholy means feeling lost, bewildered, and confused, that is, "sad as if lost", because we should not be like this. This requires reflection on the imperial system after the Qin and Han Dynasties, and even on the state system before the empire. But to follow the clues, from near to far, we have to start with the empire.

Ming Taizu's sea ban was very strict: no one was allowed to enter the sea. Therefore, more than sixty years after Zheng He's voyages to the West, the West began the historical process of geographical discovery and the opportunity to open the maritime century was handed over to others. After Aobai, there were no powerful ministers to act arrogantly; after the vassal withdrawal, there was no local separatism; after Yongzheng, there was no struggle for the throne; after the people were spread over the land, there was no rebellion by hungry people. There are too many problems that need to be solved to build a cross-cultural and multi-ethnic unified empire, but Kangxi and his successors answered them better than any previous dynasty. So, is the problem really solved? After meeting Qianlong in court, British diplomat Macartney said this: The Qing Empire was like a luxurious warship that was in disrepair and only relied on the support of the sailors to prevent it from sinking. The people in the first-class cabin didn't know this. Only a literary work felt that it was riddled with holes. She is the great "Dream of Red Mansions".

"Pre-Qin Scholars" is a historical summary and ideological condensation of the pre-Qin era. Taking Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism and Law as the main line, it explains in detail the great debates among hundreds of schools of thought on the good and evil of human nature, the rule of virtue and the rule of law, and action and inaction, spanning more than three hundred years. The Mohists paid attention to society and left behind social ideals, which are equality, mutual benefit, and fraternity; the Taoists paid attention to life and left behind the pursuit of life, which is truth, freedom, and tolerance; the Legalists paid attention to the country and left behind the concepts of governance, which are openness, fairness, and justice; the Confucians paid attention to culture and left behind the core values, which are benevolence, justice, and self-improvement. In other words, Mohism left behind the beautiful ideal of building a homeland, Taoism left behind the crystallization of wisdom to guide life, Legalism left behind the ideological resources to cope with changes, and Confucianism left behind the value system that unites the people. A great debate that has lasted for three hundred years has no answer, but has affected the Chinese nation for thousands of years.
