Long Dream 1362: the Millennium Echo of Zizhi Tongjian

After a thousand years of dreaming, I became a silent witness in the long river of history. From the golden war and iron horses at the end of the Warring States Period, to the vicissitudes of the conflict between Chu and Han; from the fireworks and palace undercurrents of the Han Dynasty, to the end of the disputes of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the joys and sorrows of the world, the 1362 years in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" unfolded before my eyes. I don't have a golden finger to change history, I don't have the ability to change fate against the will of heaven, I can't interfere with the direction of any war, and I can't reverse the outcome of any character. I could only stand in the gap of time and witness with my own eyes the choices made in troubled times when rituals collapsed and music collapsed, the talents and bravery of one emperor through the ages, the tensions at the Hongmen Banquet, the various livelihoods of the people in the prosperous age, and the devastation hidden in the history books when the dynasty collapsed. There is no fantasy magic here, only the most authentic history, the most vivid characters, and the most direct impact on the rise and fall of human nature. This is a long dream that spans 1362 years, and it is also a dialogue with every soul in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".
