Ask for a book that interprets the history of the Tang Dynasty, and ask for a few books on the histo

Well, I don't know if you're interested in the historical events of the Tang Dynasty or its culture and economy. Personally, I recommend the historian Lu Simian's "History of the Five Dynasties of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". Although it is not specifically written about the Tang Dynasty, the important political systems of the Tang Dynasty are all inherited from the Sui Dynasty, and sometimes I see some allusions in Tang history books!

Rank! Institutions! Basically, it is inherited and developed by Sui.

As for the relationship between the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, it was too close. But even if you read this book just to read Tang history, it's definitely worth it, the content is very detailed, and it is by no means like a history textbook like current affairs and politics! The works of general historiography should be written by the more outstanding historians in modern times, such as Jian Bozan!

Qian Mu! If you are very interested in the culture of the Tang Dynasty, I recommend you to watch "Tang Dynasty Thought".

Although there are many works written about the history of the Tang Dynasty, I have personally read them and do not think they are profound. Not obscure. But it's not vulgar to look at modern scholars.,I've read the above 2 books and think it's really good.,There's a lot of the rest.,But it's too academic.,Too "specialized".。。

However, if the landlord is really interested in Tang history, he still has to return to ancient books! History, there is no objective existence, because it has passed, the historians who wrote history books are to look at history and remember history from the perspective of their time, as for the history of the Tang Dynasty, then you can't use the eyes and concepts of the current people to see the development of Tang Dynasty society and the thoughts of the Tang Dynasty people, so it is generally best to look directly at ancient books... There is that kind of landlord with a proofreading version that won't be too difficult to see.。。

1. Wang Zhongju, "History of the Five Dynasties of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".

This book is the most suitable for readers to get started with the general history of the Tang Dynasty, and the author, Mr. Wang Zhongju, is a giant in the field of medieval Chinese history. The book was written in the 80s of the last century, and some concepts and outdated terms are inevitable, but on the whole, the book not only clearly recounts the basic historical events of the Tang Dynasty from its founding to its demise.

What is even more commendable is that the author has made a comprehensive description of the economy, society, frontier, transportation, agriculture, industry and commerce, and culture of the Tang Dynasty around the main axis of the times, which can be called a condensed version of the historical encyclopedia of the Tang Dynasty. After reading this book carefully, you can have a minimum three-dimensional understanding of the whole picture of the loss hall of Tang history.

2. Yao Ping, The Life Course of Women in the Tang Dynasty

Women, as the other half of humanity, should not lack their place in the study of history. As the title suggests, this book details the life course of a woman in the Tang Dynasty, from childhood to old age, and the various institutions unique to women's lives in between.

3. Chen Qiaoshui, "The Hidden Scene: Women's Culture and Family Life in the Tang Dynasty".

Mr. Chen Qiaoshui is a strong scholar of the cultural history of the Tang Dynasty, and although this book also involves a large number of general and noisy narratives of women's life in the Tang Dynasty, it pays more attention to the ideology, consciousness, and cultural connotation of women's life in the Tang Dynasty.
