Song Dynasty Scenery

When future generations look at the Song Dynasty, they will either brag to the heavens, saying that it had a great culture, a strong economy, and was extremely rich; or they will put their foot down and say that it was military useless, diplomatically weak, and always beaten. In fact, the most exciting thing about this dynasty has never been the cold years and achievements, but the people. It's Zhao Kuangyin's big hands that can win battles and hold wine glasses, it's Zhao Pu's belly that can hold a boat better than the prime minister's, it's the vendor selling cooking cakes in Bianjing City, it's the idle man listening to books in Lin'an Mansion, it's the noisy civil servants in the court, and it's the soldiers shivering with cold on the border. This book is not intended to tell you great truths, nor is it intended to be an academic paper. I just want to take you into the fireworks of more than three hundred years, smell the aroma of wine at that time, look at the buns of women at that time, and listen to the curse words at that time. From the cold wind on the night of the Chenqiao Mutiny to the salty water on the day of the Yashan Naval Battle, let's walk slowly and take a closer look. The official history is the bones, and the wild flavor is the meat. I will stew it into a pot for you, and you can scoop it out with a spoon, ensuring that every bite is hot and delicious.
