Five Dynasties Jiazi Dream

This work uses the real history of the last 60 years of the Southern and Northern Dynasties as the skeleton, embedding fictional characters, plots and fateful trajectories between historical facts, depicting the transitional era when several dynasties split and order was restructured. In Jiankang and Jiangling in the Southern Dynasties, culture and education were at their peak but undercurrents were surging; in Luoyang, Jinyang, Yecheng, and Chang'an in the Northern Dynasties, military towns rose, the old system collapsed, and a new dynasty was born out of the ashes. The palace, the gentry and the border towns were drawn to each other in the same historical cycle; some wrote and revised books, some raised swords, some were trapped in family ties and power within the palace walls, and some tried to hold on to the last true feelings and love in troubled times. Together they form a picture of a complex and turbulent era. Amidst all this, individual emotions, ideals and choices are constantly squeezed, changed and even engulfed, and eventually merge into the irreversible torrent of history.
