Features: The roaring waves crash against the shore, the heroic Song Dynasty rulers have passed away, and the cries of vendors on the Bian River are already distant. Small bridges over flowing water, the Southern Crossing of King Kang, the gentle face of West Lake is gradually blurring. The three great inventions that shine in history, the far-reaching Confucianism of Cheng and Zhu, the lyrical and bold charm of poetry and prose, have composed a carnival of common people above the Rainbow Bridge. The endless dust of war, the flying sword energy that shatters the beauty of a woman combing her hair under a small window; striving for strength and reform, the ardent spirit cannot stop the collapse of the grand structure. The iron hooves trample where prosperity fades, the clouds are distant, loyal ministers are buried, the book is covered, and the loyal heart is illuminated. This book is richly illustrated with diverse styles, vividly recreating China's long history and splendid civilization through over a thousand carefully selected historical stories. The book's historical context is clear, details are specific, the language is concise and lively, and the illustrations are abundant and explanatory, making it a high-quality historical knowledge read.
