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 streams, 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 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 travel, the flying sword energy that shattered the beauty of a woman's toilette under a small window; striving for strength and reform, the spirited will could not bring back the collapsing grand structure. The iron hooves trampled where prosperity faded, the distant horizon, the loyal ministers buried, the book cover covered, the loyal heart illuminated. This book is richly illustrated with diverse formats, 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 high-quality 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 relations, 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.
