The Long Sword at the End of Jin 晋末长剑
As the Tang poet Xu Yin wrote in his poem “The Two Jins”: “Deep schemes across three generations laid the foundations of an empire. What a pity for the widow and orphan.

By the end of the Jin dynasty, the damage had b

An Official of the Tang Dynasty 大唐官
For the mighty Tang dynasty, the An Lushan Rebellion was not the shameful end, but the beginning of its transformation. The middle and late Tang period ushered in a new era for China that would last five hundred years, yet it is also one of the most rigidly misunderstood periods in history. A corrupt court? Powerful regional governors carving up the realm? Foreign enemies bullying the empire? Bitter factional strife? Is that really all there was? No. Suzong returned, and Consort Yang died; Thoug

Gripping a ruyi scepter, he smashed it hard against the Hu commander's forehead! As the Central Plains fell and the people fled south, in this hellscape
