Features: This book is part of the "Library of Philosophical Historians," mainly divided into three sections: Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. The "Syncretism" section introduces the era of China's history known as the "Golden Age," with the Han and Tang dynasties being the most prominent. The Tang Dynasty achieved even greater brilliance than the Han Dynasty. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, the fundamental structure of China's feudal society was a contradiction between a highly centralized central government and an extremely decentralized peasant economy. A unified feudal regime required high centralization; without it, the government could not function effectively.
