Features: The footsteps of the Chinese Empire were heavy and sluggish, and it had fallen into a strange cycle: from the clarity of the early dynasty to the corruption of the later period, then overthrown by the unbearable pressure of peasant uprisings, and the new dynasty repeated this cycle. Our empire, like a spirited young man, gradually aged into a frail old in this cycle, and its huge body collapsed into the dust. In the history of the empire, we see astonishing similarities: the inheritance of the system, the stereotypical portrayal of figures. Every Chinese person, when looking back at their past through this series of books, will be filled with cheers, amazement, anger, and even heart-wrenching sorrow for our history. The target readers of this series are mainly readers with a medium level of education, that is to say, it serves readers who have a certain foundation in historical knowledge and cultural literacy.
