This book has a clear historical logic, concise theoretical summaries, focuses on historical events, and provides a detailed narrative. It is a rare work of popular history in recent years and another significant effort in popularizing history following "Misreading of Chinese History." Unveiling the mystery of history, telling a story that ordinary people can understand! This book is a popular work in the form of historical commentary, analyzing specific groups in Chinese history and little-known historical events using sociological methods, such as emperors hiring killers to eliminate powerful ministers, the brutal punishments inflicted on women, and more. Through historical descriptions, it strives to paint a picture of "gentle bloodshed." Behind the moral masks of gentle rulers, father-son relationships, diligent governance, and loyalty to the throne, there lies astonishing brutality: the imperial power group enslaves both the bureaucratic class and the common people at the top of society; the bureaucratic class, in the distribution of interests, reveals a greedy nature of oppressing the emperor above and the people below; while the commoner society endures silently, waiting for the moment to overthrow imperial power. The author's intention is not merely to expose the ugliness of history but to establish a new historical perspective, helping Chinese society avoid repeated historical similarities and providing valuable historical nourishment for the establishment of a harmonious society. This book has a clear historical logic, concise theoretical summaries, focuses on historical events, and provides a detailed narrative, making it a rare work of popular history in recent years.
