Eight Kings Caused Chaos, And Sixteen Kingdoms Returned To The Sui Dynasty

To the Readers

The original intention of writing about this period of troubled times from the Rebellion of the Eight Kings to the Sui Dynasty was very simple - I wanted to use popular writing to explain this three hundred years that were condensed in history books but magnificent.

This is not a joke, there is no time travel, no magic modification, all the context is laid out according to official history such as "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" and "Book of Jin"; nor is it a boring accumulation of historical materials, but a novel style of writing to restore the court games, clan disputes, and people's livelihood sufferings, so that each of the characters who have left their names in history can stand in front of you with flesh and blood.

Here are the sinister predators of Empress Jia's attempt to gain power, the intrigues of kings vying for supremacy, the rise of Shi Le and Wang Mi, and the displacement of the people in troubled times - there is no absolute protagonist, only the appearance of all living beings under the torrent of the times; there are no deliberately exciting points, only the ups and downs and weight of history itself.

If you like pure historical narratives, want to understand the changes from the Sixteen Kingdoms to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and want to see how the land of China went from being fragmented to being reunited, then you might as well calm down, follow the text, and return to that turbulent era.

Although we strive to be rigorous in the writing process, there will inevitably be omissions. If there are any discussions about historical details, readers and friends are welcome to correct and communicate in the comment area.

I hope this text can help you understand this troubled time, and also make you cherish peace.

Keep writing, thank you for accompanying me.
