Datang Is Super Exciting

This is a historical reading that retells the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty over three hundred years from a modern perspective. From the hesitant raising of troops at the top of Taiyuan City, to the elegant sweep of Baima Post; from the bloody morning at Xuanwu Gate, to the thunderous thunder of Yuyang's drums; from the clear and bright atmosphere of Zhenguan's rule, to the unprecedented legend of the Queen's coming to court; from From the poetry and wine of Chang'an in the prosperous Kaiyuan Dynasty to the raging fury of the Huangchao Uprising - in thirty chapters, this book combines the power of the temple and the fireworks of the market, the achievements of the emperor and the character of the literati, the iron-blooded battle and the legend of red makeup. There are people at the pinnacle of power like Li Shimin and Wu Zetian, as well as singers of the times like Li Bai and Du Fu; there are heroes of troubled times like An Lushan and Zhu Wen, and heroine prime ministers like Shangguan Wan'er. Underneath the relaxed and ridiculing tone, there is a cold insight into the laws of history; behind the words of laughter and curses, there is a profound understanding of the complexity of human nature. Open this book and see how an open, inclusive, and powerful empire rises, and how it moves towards the inevitable sunset amidst the shouts of "Khan of Heaven".
