Features: The Southern Tang was an important southern regime during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Some of the social, economic, and cultural features it displayed foreshadowed the future development of later Chinese society. This book focuses on outlining the rise and fall of the Southern Tang regime, studying its development and characteristics in various aspects such as economy and culture, and comprehensively explores the historical status and practical role of the Southern Tang regime, as a representative of southern regimes, in the social transformation during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. The author of this book devoted several years to researching the history of the Southern Tang while pursuing his doctoral studies and completed this comprehensive monograph of over 200,000 words. It includes most of the available historical materials on the Southern Tang and is permeated with the perspective of historical materialism, which is truly remarkable. The book provides in-depth analysis and discussion on the evolution of the Southern Tang's predecessor, the Yangwu regime, the changes in Southern Tang's policies during its early and later periods, the structure of the Southern Tang regime, and the characteristics of Southern Tang culture, making it one of the excellent works for young historians and researchers in the field of history.
