Looking around, there are wolves everywhere. There are vassal towns that cannot be controlled by the king's law, there are vassal towns that are resisting the rule of law, there are vassal towns that are about to be moved, and there are even wanton plundering by Khitan cavalry. Although the imperial court was there at that time, the world was already dead. From AD 927 to AD 951, the thirty years before the Song Dynasty, it was the dark age of Chinese history. If you understand these thirty years, you will understand what barbarism and cruelty are, and you will understand why the Song Dynasty is called a prosperous civilization. Thirty years before the founding of the Song Dynasty, it was a military battlefield where wolves roamed and cavalry raged. It was a place where vassal towns were divided, factions fought against each other, and conspiracies and brutal crimes took place. It was a purgatory where civilization was ruined, morality was lost, and the world had constant nightmares. The history of the thirty years before the founding of the Song Dynasty was a history of turmoil caused by usurpation and disaster, and a history of Chinese people's suffering covered by blood and tragedy. If you understand these thirty years of history and see clearly the cause and effect of the troubled times of the Five Dynasties, you will understand the origin of the Song Dynasty Empire and Zhao Kuangyin's good intentions in constructing and deducing the Song Dynasty civilization...

Chenqiaoyi was the most important station in Zhao Kuangyin's life. At this station, he completed a dynasty change in a bloodless way. From AD 951 to AD 960, the chaotic Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were coming to an end, and an unprecedentedly prosperous Song Empire began to emerge on the historical horizon. Ten years before the founding of the Song Dynasty, Zhou Taizu Guo Wei eliminated the bad governance of the previous dynasty, bringing the first glimmer of light in the troubled times; Chai Rong, the great emperor who was heroic and full of royal ideals, led a personal expedition, defeated the Khitan coalition forces of the Northern Han Dynasty, and started civilized government affairs; The peerless master Wang Puxian's "Pingbian Policy" "determined the road map of the Central Plains"; after the Battle of Gaoping, Zhao Kuangyin entered the ranks of senior officers in the Later Zhou Dynasty; the incredible "Wei Nang" and the mysterious Chenqiao Mutiny brought an astonishing turning point in history...

The queen used her wisdom to rewrite the fate of herself and her family, as well as the fate of the feudal dynasty. If "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is a wonderful performance by one woman, then this is a collection of wonderful performances by a bunch of women!

Without understanding the queen, it is impossible to fully understand China's feudal society.

In 960 AD, Zhao Kuangyin and Jian Zuo ascended the throne, marking the founding of the Song Empire. When the army entered the city, "the market was not easy to operate" in Bianliang, Tokyo. If unruly people took advantage of the chaos and looted, "several generations would be killed in the city, and the officials who were plundered would pay their dues." The respect and protection of private property indicates that a generation of holy kings will open the most glorious chapter of traditional China. From 960 AD to 976 AD, it was Zhao Kuangyin's "Emperor Time". History ushered in the "Jianlong Rule" when the people were wealthy and the army was strong. In the next 16 years, he practiced virtuous government, practiced martial arts and cultivated literature, but finally passed away mysteriously amid the sound of an ax and the shadow of candles with his unfinished ambition. At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin conquered Luzhou and Pingyangzhou successively when he was caring for the world and practicing martial arts. He adopted Prime Minister Zhao Pu's brilliant strategy to "invade the feudal towns", sent troops to quell the chaos, and even brought peace to the world...

China's long-standing civilization is not simply passed down unchanged to this day. There were many changes during the period, among which the changes during the Sixteen Kingdoms, Southern and Northern Dynasties were the most critical. The changes in social civilization during this period basically determined the basic model of civilization in the later period when China was strong. This book breaks the old thinking model about China's "Ji Shi" history, and puts forward a new perspective that "culture has not changed, but only developed, and culture has no absolute advantages or disadvantages, because it is itself a dynamic process." Looking at history from this new perspective will not only make people read happily, but also make people understand the truth through reading history, and become clear-minded because of the understanding, which will benefit a lot.
