Xianning Five Years

Introduction to "Five Years of Xianning" In the fifth year of Xianning in the Western Jin Dynasty, scholar Du Yu took a piece of Xian Mountain stone and a self-prepared nanmu coffin to help Sima Yan destroy Soochow and end the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms. He is the only "double saint" in China's 2,000-year history who has enjoyed both the Confucian and Martial Arts Temples - Wen Neng's annotation of "Zuo Zhuan" became the standard for imperial examinations for thousands of years, and Wu Neng commanded millions of troops to conquer Jiangnan. But the real history is far more exciting than the drama: Jia Chong was a stumbling block in the court, Jia was a licentious queen, the stupid emperor Sima Zhong didn't understand anything, the prime minister Zhang Ti was the mortal enemy of his classmate at Imperial College, and the wife at home, Princess Gaolu, was both a talisman and an intelligence station. This book uses a down-to-earth and chatty style to uncover the details of the fireworks in the gaps in official history. From Du Yu's family decline as a young man to his success and retirement in his later years, the pomp of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the filth of the court, and the froth of the prosperous age are all clearly explained to you. After all, a scholar who can't even ride a horse but can figure out the best ideas is the most enlightened person in troubled times.
