Features: The roaring waves crash against the shore, the heroic Song Dynasty, the cries of vendors on the Bian River have long faded. Small bridges over flowing water, the Southern Crossing of King Kang, the gentle face of West Lake has gradually become blurred. The three great inventions that shine in history, the far-reaching Neo-Confucianism of Cheng and Zhu, the lyrical and bold charm of poetry and prose, constitute the carnival of the common people above the Rainbow Bridge. The dust of war never ceases, the flying sword energy 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 red heart is illuminated. This book is richly illustrated and diverse in style, vividly recreating China's long history and splendid civilization through over a thousand carefully selected historical stories. The book has a clear historical context, detailed historical facts, concise and vivid language, and abundant illustrations, making it a refined historical knowledge read. "Illustrated World" integrates and narrates Chinese history according to different historical periods, using new formats and models, covering politics, economy, military, foreign exchanges, art, thought, science and technology, and social life in all aspects. With time as the longitude and figures and events as the latitude, it weaves a comprehensive reflection of the rise and fall of every dynasty. This book is the Song Dynasty volume.
