Features: His Mongol cavalry brought bloodshed across the Eurasian continent, he was the Chinese emperor who ruled the most extensive territory, his harem boasted the finest beauties of all skin tones in the world, he was a Mongol khan skilled in governing the Han people with Han methods, expanding the map of China. The towering and majestic figure of Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, will forever linger in that vast and boundless land. This is a part of the "Great Emperors of China" series, providing a comprehensive introduction to the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty—Kublai Khan, showcasing the glorious life of a great military strategist, statesman, and ruler. China has had emperors for too long, and the "true dragon sons of heaven" are almost as numerous as the stars in the sky. From the list of characters in the "Great Emperors of China" series, it is not difficult to see the criteria for selection. They are emperors who created a new world, forged mountains and rivers, and united under the banner of "iron-blooded emperors." It is rare that among the ten selected emperors, two are from the Yuan Dynasty—Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan. This pair of grandfather and grandson are figures I deeply admire. As descendants of those who drew bows to hunt great eagles, Kublai Khan was not overshadowed by his grandfather's glory but instead forged an unprecedented map of territory, a vast and unified nation of all ethnic groups. In this regard, Kublai Khan's achievements seem to surpass those of his ancestors. This book explores the glorious life of the great emperor Kublai Khan from a perspective of equality, with detailed historical records and vivid language, making it an excellent textbook for studying history and remembering the ancients.
