Dayu's Equation

You will read about a different experience of reading history: on the one hand, you can experience the rise and fall of dynasties through the eyes of ordinary people through the detailed insights of boatmen on the river, old farmers outside the city, and market vendors; on the other hand, you can see rigorous speculation and deduction of historical data, and stories and theories go hand in hand. This book traces its ideological origins across Capital, Materialist Dialectics, and The Spirit of Law, and integrates Khwarizmi reduction-countermeasure and set theory thinking. Mathematical formulas are by no means gimmicks, but merely analytical tools for the implementation of historical philosophy. All arguments are based on a large number of official histories, records and archaeological unearthed historical materials at home and abroad. In the same massacre, Zhu Yuanzhang stabilized the Ming Dynasty, but the separatist regime collapsed in an instant; in the same lenient compromise, Zhao Kuangyin released his military power with a cup of wine to stabilize the country, but Caesar and Emperor Jianwen caused disasters; rulers did little and did little, and culture and scenery created governance, but some dynasties ended up falling. No longer will we judge historical figures with simple labels of cruelty, kindness, and stupidity. It collects hundreds of Chinese and foreign cases, ranging from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty, and also introduces ancient Egypt as an overseas control sample. Neither the rise or fall depends entirely on the subjective will of the individual, nor does it fall into the fatalism of being entirely dominated by the environment. Dismantle the entanglement between resource allocation, power transmission chains, external shocks, and the bottom line of people's livelihood, and observe how the social system accumulates tension and prospers or collapses.
