Song of Chasing the Dust

Since the beginning of Pangu and the beginning of Xuanhuang, the land of China has been staged scenes of legends of striving to dominate the world. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors ushered in civilization, and dynasties continued to change year after year. There were people on the Dragon Throne whose names will be remembered in history, and there were also people in the grass who stood up and paid homage to them. This book uses a biography to survey the thousands of years from ancient times to the end of Yuan Shikai in the late Qing Dynasty. It not only includes the orthodox emperors recognized by official history, but also includes all the overlords who separated themselves from one side, established a country for a short period of time, and rebelled to become kings, but were not recognized by official history. Whether it is the founding hero who unified the country, the established king who maintained his legacy and inherited the tradition, or the reckless hero who raised the flag in troubled times and became emperor in a flash, they all wrote in detail to describe their life's merits and demerits, ups and downs, joys and sorrows. Fighting for the world with gold and iron horses, fame and fortune turn into dust and smoke. Some people inherit the destiny and come to control the nine states, some use their bravery to separate one side, some are short-lived and leave regrets, and some spend half their lives conquering to build their hegemony. The road to imperial power was never smooth, and was intertwined with intrigues in temples, battles on the battlefield, and civil uprisings. Thousands of years of turmoil have dissipated, and the former emperors' hegemony has turned into a song of earthly dust. Open this book and watch thousands of characters competing in China, taste the ups and downs of the heroes of the past dynasties, and understand the thousand-year history of China hidden in the figures of emperors.
