Features: Compared to the Northwest, the North is not desolate; while compared to the warmth and refinement of Jiangnan, the North is instead bleak and rugged. It witnessed the rise and prosperity of China's last dynasty, and also observed its sorrow and decline. All of this leaves behind much for later generations to ponder and reflect upon. The author of this book attempts to guide you through the long river of history, tracing the glory and sorrow of the North several centuries ago with the pen in hand and the scenes before the eyes.
