When I was a child, I read "Three Hundred Tang Poems". In addition to Li Bai " Will Enter the Wine", I most like to read Bai Juyi " Song of Everlasting Sorrow ":

Tang Minghuang and Yang Guifei The harem when they were in love

There are three thousand beauties, and three thousand people love each other.

Farewell on the Road to Escape

The Sixth Army had no choice but to die without warning. Flower Mother There is no one to collect the land, and the green and green gorse jade scratches the head.

The king hid his face and could not be saved. Looking back, blood and tears flowed. The yellow leaves are scattered and the wind is rustling, and the clouds linger in the sword pavilion.

There is still one. Later, Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty searched for it

. The two places were nowhere to be found.

......

The reason why I like to read "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" is that I like Bai Juyi's unique phonology in this beautiful love poem, and I am moved by this poignant emotion. Later I learned that behind it was the great change that changed the historical direction of the Tang Dynasty - the "Anshi Rebellion".

Cover

The "Anshi Rebellion" occurred from 755 AD to 763 AD. It was a war in which Tang Dynastyfrontier generalsAn Lushan and Shi Siming launched a rebellion. The civil war in which the emperors fought for dominance was also a turning point in the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. However, the history of this turmoil is always mentioned lightly in textbooks; in popular works such as movies and TV shows, from the perspective of the public, the Tang Ming Emperor's lust for the country was a major factor that led to the "Anshi Rebellion". But such a complicated war must have extremely complicated causes. So what is the story behind this great change and dispute? What exactly does the "Anshi Rebellion", this legendary turning point hidden under the veil, look like?

.

Mr. Yuan Canxing, PhD in History and Associate Professor, based on a large number of historical documents, using documentary techniques and realistic writing style, vividly wrote this historical novel "Changes in the Tang Dynasty: The An-Shi Rebellion and the Collapse of the Tang Dynasty", clearing away the fog of history and providing a panoramic view It shows us the whole process of the "Anshi Rebellion" in detail, as well as the wonderful stories surrounding this great change, as well as a series of big figures and ruthless characters in the story: from Li Linfu, Li Heng, Yang Guozhong to the peaceful and prosperous times. Chang'an Hundreds of Prime Ministers, to Tang Ming Emperor Yang Guifei's enjoyment as a couple of gods, to the great chaos that arose all over the world, all kinds of turmoil, as well as Changshan Victory, Tongguan defeat, Maweiyi Rebellion , Anlu Mountain death, until the return of the two saints to Dao Mountain...

Partial Table of Contents

This is a history that I am very unfamiliar with and have many questions. This is a historical novel with a historical framework and real flesh and blood feelings. This is also This is the first book I have seen that describes the "An-Shi Rebellion" so vividly and comprehensively. While reading, I kept thinking and thinking about various hypotheses: If Emperor Tang Ming listened to Zhang Jiuling 's advice and killed An Lushan early, in which direction would the wheel of history turn? If An Lushan is really as loyal and invincible as Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty imagined, will great changes happen? Without the wisdom of Guo Ziyi , would Datang continue its continuation? Of course, there are no what-ifs in history, everything is a foregone conclusion. It’s just that with the cover of thousands of years of yellow sand and dust, great changes and disputes are no longer what they were at the beginning...

So, I let go of history, cleared the past, and followed the author’s pen to approach the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty During the year, it was as if I were personally at the scene of the "Anshi Rebellion", lifting the veil of history and witnessing this legendary turning point, the origin, outbreak, and end of this chaos...
