China has a written history spanning thousands of years. The farther back in time, the more mysteries remain. Therefore, uncovering the truth of history is no easy task. Set aside the lack of historical records; even with the physical materials that have been passed down and the new materials constantly unearthed in the future, it seems insufficient to achieve this. At least, we are still unclear about many facts or know very little about them. Precisely because of this, it is necessary to dedicate effort to restoring history to its original state.
The Song Dynasty was a unique era. It possessed a highly advanced material civilization and a cultural peak that could not match, yet it suffered from chronic poverty and weakness, constantly under pressure from powerful minority regimes, and ultimately fell into the hands of foreign invaders. How did the emperors of the Song Dynasty cope with such circumstances? What were their personalities, and what fates did they experience? What stories unfolded in the Chinese court eight hundred years ago? All of this will be narrated by a Song Dynasty history expert.
