Features: These "super men" — the Chinese emperors — enjoy super quality of life and supreme status, yet they suffer from tragic fates and are bound by circumstances. This book presents a categorized reading approach, integrating the characteristics of various Chinese emperors to interpret their extraordinary "super" imperial lives. It compiles verifiable historical records scattered across history into a powerful fist, shattering the "divine" imperial shell ("All descendants of Emperor Gao are high-nosed, the dragon species differ from ordinary humans"); with concise language, it skillfully wipes away the illusory golden halo that seems radiant but is actually fake from the high noses of the self-proclaimed "children of heaven," restoring their true human nature. Shangguan Ping's Comprehensive History of Chinese Emperors compiles verifiable historical records scattered across history into a powerful fist, shattering the "divine" imperial shell ("All descendants of Emperor Gao are high-nosed, the dragon species differ from ordinary humans"); with concise language and skillful writing, it wipes away the illusory golden halo from the high noses of the self-proclaimed "children of heaven," restoring their true human nature. Our nation has endured numerous hardships, and the author focuses on the "waves" at the forefront of history, neither glorifying their achievements nor hiding their faults; there is no intention of vilifying or exaggerating. What remains is the revelation and portrayal of the "beautiful veil." Emperors shape history, and history, in its ups and downs, reveals the emperors. Shangguan Ping takes the official history as the main thread, selects materials meticulously, categorizes them systematically, and follows the internal logic of political development, employing a scientific and rigorous attitude and methodology to compare and explore numerous emperors from multiple perspectives. At the same time, he also provides a realistic and incisive analysis of the reasons for the rise and fall, success and failure of various dynasties to a certain extent.
