Over 300 precious images of portraits, cultural relics, and background materials vividly interpret the text, creating a richly illustrated and complementary presentation that offers a three-dimensional and holographic display of little-known historical secrets.

This book discards the traditional historical concept of "flattering the noble and concealing the virtuous" and draws on the essence of ancient and modern unofficial histories. It guides readers to uncover historical truths from details, striving to present the personalities and psychological states of emperors and generals, their anecdotes and stories, the intrigue and deceit among the ruling class, the ugly backstage of politics and military affairs, and their bloody methods, the folk customs of various dynasties, the charming and unrestrained demeanor of extraordinary individuals over thousands of years, people from all walks of life, and the diverse social realities. Through a combination of clear formats, concise language, innovative layouts, and exquisite images, the book presents a three-dimensional and holographic portrayal of a vivid and lively history.
