Li Yu Loses His Kingdom

After the fall of the Tang Dynasty in 907, Five dynasties - the Later Liang (907-923), Later Tang (923-936), Later Jin (936-947), Later Han (947-951 ) and Later Zhou (951-960) - quickly succeeded one another in the north, and ten independent states - Wu, Wuyue, Min, Chu, Southern Han, Former Shu, Later Shu, Jingnan, Southern Tang and Northern Han - were established, mainly in the south.

The Southern Tang, one of the Ten Kingdoms, was founded in 937. The capital was located in Jinling (present-day Nanjing in Jiangsu Province). The state was named Tang (history would refer to it as the Southern Tang). The Southern Tang was conquered in 975 by the Northern Song. It was ruled by three emperors and lasted a total of 39 years.

Li Yu (937-978), the last ruler of the Southern Tang ascended the throne in 961. He is historically known as Li Houzhu (literally meaning the last lord of the Southern Tang).

This fertile land was large and prosperous compared to the other Ten States of that period. However, the three generations of emperors were so mediocre that they wasted all their natural advantages.

Li Yu was a very peculiar monarch. He was idiotic in terms of politics, but an excellent ruler in terms of the arts. He was skilled in calligraphy, music, painting, and poetry, especially the ci form. He has been called the “first true master” of the ci form in the history of Chinese poetry.

After founding the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin launched successive military expeditions against the neighboring kingdoms. Several small states were easily conquered, so Li Yu began to panic. His first plan was to pay large tribute to the Song court so as to maintain his power. Then he wrote a letter to the Song emperor, saying that he was willing to discard the title of “Southern Tang” and to term himself “lord of the regions south of the Yangtze River.” However, his proposals did nothing to change Zhao Kuangyin’s determination to unify all China under the Song banner.

In 974, Song Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin sent 100,000 troops to attack the Southern Tang by water and land. Arriving at the banks of the Yangtze River, the Song Dynasty armies prepared to cross the river by building a floating bridge in order to attack Jinling. Hearing this news, Li Yu did not believe it, and continued drinking with his ministers.

The Song Dynasty armies crossed the Yangtze River and quickly arrived at the gates of Jinling. At that time Li Yu was chanting sutras and praying with the monks and Taoist priests in the palace. On the second day, he went up to the gate tower to make his rounds. Immediately he saw the banners of the Song Dynasty armies all around his capital. He immediately sent a special envoy to the capital of the Song Dynasty to sue for peace.

The peace talk failed and the two armies fought. The Southern Tang army was annihalated. Before the Song army could conquer his capital, Li Yu piled up a lot of straw in the palace. He planned to set fire to it and take his own life, but in the end he couldn’t go through with it. He was taken captive by the Song Dynasty armies. The Southern Tang state ceased to be.

Li Yu was marched off to the capital of the Song Dynasty and was made the Marquess of Wei Ming (literally, the Marquess of Disobeyed Edicts) by Song Emperor Taizu.

Li Yu became a prisoner. However, his best-known poems were composed during the years after the Song formally ended his reign in 975. Li’s works from this period dwell on his lament for his lost kingdom and the pleasure it had brought him.

Song Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin passed away in 976. Li Yu was poisoned by the Song emperor Taizong Zhao Jiong (namely Zhao Kuangyi) in 977.

前言/序言

Preface

China has written history of about 5,000 years. “Chinese history” here refers to the part of the Chinese history form the Xia Dynasty in 2070 BC until the Revolution of 1911 that overthrew the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), China’s last feudal dynasty.

During the prolonged period of time, the Chinese created a splendid civilization, and Chinese achievements made during the period in socio-economic development exerted great influence on the world as a whole.

The long history has given birth to many historical figures and stories related to them. Many Chinese idioms, slangs and sayings are rooted in them. They become the core of China’s ancient civilization, and helped enrich the Chinese language, ideology and the way the Chinese behave.

Stories taken in the book are few in number, but are expected to be good enough to help readers learn more of China.

跨越时空的中华文明之旅：从先秦到近代的历史脉络与民间叙事 一部深度挖掘中国历史底蕴，以生动故事重现时代风貌的恢宏巨著 本书并非专注于某一个特定的朝代或事件，而是一部旨在为全球读者构建起完整、宏大且引人入胜的中华文明历史框架的通识性读物。它以时间为轴线，以重大历史节点和鲜活的人物群像为经纬，梳理了自远古传说时代直至近代兴起的漫长历史进程中所蕴含的政治智慧、文化变迁和社会生活图景。 卷一：文明的曙光与早期奠基（远古至春秋战国） 本卷深入探讨了中华文明起源的神秘面纱，从黄河与长江流域的早期聚落，逐步过渡到夏、商、周三代的建立与更迭。重点描绘了青铜文明的辉煌成就，以及“天命观”和早期宗法制度的形成。 主要内容聚焦： 神话与史实的交织： 聚焦三皇五帝的传说，分析这些叙事如何构筑了早期华夏民族的认同感。 礼乐制度的构建： 细致剖析周公制礼作乐的深远影响，探讨分封制在早期国家治理中的作用及其衰亡的必然性。 百家争鸣的智慧： 详尽介绍春秋战乱背景下，儒家（孔子、孟子）、道家（老子、庄子）、法家（韩非子）、墨家等诸子百家的核心思想。这不是枯燥的理论阐述，而是通过模拟当时的思想辩论场景，展现这些思想如何回应了时代对秩序、治理与个体安身立命的拷问。例如，探讨孔子周游列国时期的困境，以及庄子如何以寓言故事阐述其超脱世俗的哲学观。 卷二：铁与火的统一与帝国时代的开启（秦汉魏晋南北朝） 本卷聚焦于中国历史上第一次大一统帝国的建立及其带来的深刻变革，同时涵盖了随后近四百年的分裂与融合。 主要内容聚焦： 秦的统一与制度遗产： 重点解析秦始皇扫灭六国、统一文字、度量衡的壮举。着重讨论郡县制取代分封制在中央集权上的里程碑意义，以及“焚书坑儒”背后的文化政治考量。 汉承秦制与丝绸之路： 阐述汉朝如何继承和发展秦朝的制度，特别是察举制的兴起，以及武帝时期对匈奴的战略转向。详细描绘张骞出使西域，丝绸之路的开辟如何将中国纳入世界贸易网络，及其对沿线文化的双向影响。 士族的崛起与魏晋风度： 深入分析东汉末年豪强并起，最终导致三国鼎立的政治格局。魏晋南北朝时期的核心议题是玄学的盛行与士族阶层的固化。探讨“竹林七贤”的生活哲学，以及佛教如何在这一动荡时期大规模地传入并扎根中国，成为社会精神的避风港。 卷三：盛世的辉煌与制度的成熟（隋唐五代） 本卷将笔墨集中于中国封建社会鼎盛时期的气象万千，探索其政治、经济、文化达到前所未有高度的原因。 主要内容聚焦： 隋朝的再造： 强调隋文帝统一南北的功绩，以及科举制度的初步建立。重点分析隋炀帝耗费国力的举措（如大运河的开凿）对历史进程的双重作用——既是促进南北融合的工程奇迹，也是加速王朝覆灭的导火索。 大唐气象与开放精神： 细致描绘唐朝（特别是贞观之治到开元盛世）的社会面貌。不再仅仅罗列帝王功绩，而是探讨唐代兼容并蓄的国际化都市长安（包括胡商、异域文化），三教合流的文化氛围，以及唐诗如何成为中国文学史上最璀璨的明珠。 藩镇割据与安史之乱： 深入分析“安史之乱”如何成为唐朝由盛转衰的关键转折点，探讨节度使制度的失控，以及随后五代的短暂与混乱，为宋朝的崛起埋下伏笔。 卷四：文官政治与市井生活的繁荣（宋元） 本卷聚焦于宋代在经济、科技和市民文化上的巨大飞跃，以及外来政权（元朝）对中国版图与民族关系的重塑。 主要内容聚焦： 宋代的内敛与重文抑武： 分析宋太祖如何通过“杯酒释兵权”来强化中央集权，以及由此带来的军事上的相对弱势。详细介绍理学的成熟，及其对士人阶层思想的深刻影响。 商业革命与市民文化： 重点展现宋代四大发明（活字印刷、指南针等）的实际应用，以及交子、会子等纸币的出现标志着中国经济的现代化进程。描绘汴京、临安繁荣的夜市、瓦舍勾栏中的世俗生活。 蒙古的征服与元朝的治理： 概述蒙古铁骑的军事力量和其统一欧亚大陆的壮举。分析元朝在政治上对汉地的特殊治理模式（如四等人制），以及大都作为新首都的意义，和元曲在通俗文化中的地位。 卷五：集权的顶峰与王朝的衰落（明清） 本卷剖析了中国历史上最后一个封建王朝的运作机制、其内部张力，以及在面对西方冲击时的挣扎与困局。 主要内容聚焦： 明朝的制度强化： 探讨朱元璋废除宰相制度、设立锦衣卫、东厂等特务机构，如何将君主专制推向新的高峰。解析内阁制度的演变，以及郑和下西洋的空前规模与最终的“海禁”政策之间的矛盾。 清代的开疆拓土与文字狱： 介绍满族入关的历史背景，以及康雍乾盛世在疆域上的拓展（如对西藏、新疆的有效管辖）。同时，深入探讨文字狱对知识分子思想的压制，以及八股文对学术活力的扼杀。 中西碰撞的序曲： 简要概述“闭关锁国”政策下，中国与新兴的工业化西方世界在贸易（如广州一口通商）和文化交流（如耶稣会士的传教与科学介绍）中产生的摩擦与误解，为近代历史的转折点做了铺垫。 本书通过这种全景式的叙述，旨在让读者不仅了解“谁在何时做了什么”，更能理解“为什么会发生”，以及这些历史选择如何塑造了今日中国的文化基因与思维模式。全书语言力求流畅且富有画面感，避免了纯粹的学术术语堆砌，致力于提供一种既具深度又富可读性的历史体验。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

我对古代的社会生活场景特别感兴趣，这往往是历史书中最容易被忽略，却也最能体现时代特色的部分。我翻阅了几页试读内容，希望能看到一些关于普通百姓日常生活的描摹。例如，在唐代，一个长安城的商人是如何组织他的贸易路线的？宋朝市民阶层在瓦舍勾栏里观看的“说书”内容究竟是些什么？明代江南士绅的园林生活是如何体现他们对“雅”的追求的？我希望这本书不仅仅是讲述帝王将相的宏大叙事，而是能通过一些生动的“微历史”侧面，将历史的温度还原出来。如果它能详细描绘出古代节日习俗的细节，或者某一特定时期（比如春秋战国时期百家争鸣的氛围下）知识分子群体是如何交流和辩论的，那无疑会大大增加阅读的乐趣和代入感。历史不应该只是冷冰冰的记录，它应该是一幅幅可以“走进去”的生活画卷。

这部《中国历史故事（英文版）》的装帧设计真是一绝，封面那种水墨晕染的质感，一下子就把人拉回了那个古老的东方世界。内页的纸张选择也十分考究，摸上去很有分量感，油墨的印刷清晰度极高，即便是那些复杂的古代官职名称或地理方位，也能看得一清二楚。我尤其欣赏它在排版上所下的功夫，字体大小适中，段落间距合理，阅读起来毫不费力。虽然我还没深入到故事内容，但光是翻阅这本书的物理体验，就已算是一种享受。它不像有些历史读物那样板着面孔，而是带着一种对艺术的敬畏感来呈现历史的载体。我期待它在内容上也能达到这种高水准，毕竟好的故事需要一个同样体面的“舞台”来展现。如果内容真的如封面所预示的这般精美，这本书完全有资格摆在我书架最显眼的位置，作为一件兼具阅读与收藏价值的艺术品。它成功地传达了一种信息：阅读中国历史，可以是一件非常优雅的事情。

我最近开始系统性地学习英语，希望能找到一些既能提升词汇量，又能接触到有趣文化内容的读物。这本书的英文版本恰好吸引了我。我观察了一下目录结构，感觉它似乎采取了一种比较灵活的编年史或主题式叙事，而非那种严格按照时间线索推进的教科书模式。这种叙事方法对于非专业读者来说是非常友好的，它能让你在不同的历史片段间自由切换，避免陷入长篇大论的疲劳感。更重要的是，我非常好奇它如何处理那些跨越千年的经典人物形象的翻译和解读。比如，如何用地道的英文去描绘“诸葛亮的鞠躬尽瘁”或者“苏东坡的旷达与悲凉”？这种语言转换的难度极高，需要译者具备深厚的双语功底和文化敏感度。我希望这本书的英文表述是流畅、自然，甚至带有一点文学性的，而不是那种生硬的、直译过来的“中式英语”。如果它能让一个从未接触过中国历史的英语母语者也能体会到其中蕴含的情感张力，那它就成功了。

作为一名对东方哲学和传统文化有浓厚兴趣的学习者，我选购这本书时，最看重的是它对历史叙事角度的拿捏。我希望它能超越单纯的年代罗列和枯燥的事件记录，而是能挖掘出那些深刻影响了中华文明进程的思维模式和价值取<bos>。比如，在讲述某个朝代的兴衰时，书中是否能够巧妙地穿插介绍当时文人士大夫阶层所遵循的“士”的精神？在描述重大战役的背景时，是否能触及到儒家“仁义”思想与实际军事策略之间的张力？我期待它能提供一个有深度的解读框架，而不是仅仅停留在“谁打败了谁”的表层叙事。如果它能用英文清晰地阐释清楚“天命观”是如何影响古代君权合法性的，那才算真正抓住了中国历史的精髓。坦白说，很多西方视角下的中国历史解读常常会忽略这些微妙的文化内核，所以这本书如果能在这方面有所建树，那它的价值就不可估量了。

这本书的定价相对较高，这让我对它的附加值产生了更高的期待。我注意到书名中带有“系列”的字样，这暗示着出版方可能有一个长远的规划，试图构建一个完整的中国历史故事英文阅读体系。我非常关心这个系列在学术严谨性与大众可读性之间的平衡点。出版方是否咨询了相关的历史学专家进行校对？注释体系是否完善？如果书中引用了某些史料，是否提供了清晰的来源标注？虽然我是一个普通读者，不需要过于详尽的脚注，但对于一些关键概念或历史典故，清晰的背景说明是必不可少的，这能确保读者不会因为缺乏上下文知识而产生误解。一个优质的系列丛书，其价值不仅在于单本书的质量，更在于它所构建的知识体系的完整性和可靠性。我希望这本作为开篇之作，能展现出足够的专业水准，让我有信心追随这个系列继续深入探索中国的历史长河。
