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.

性價比很高 書是正版的，之前有過擔心滴。內容還行吧，盡管我沒覺得有多充實。衝著是名人寫的，書的質量還行就不挑剔瞭。賣傢發貨挺快的，第二天就收到瞭。書還是不錯的，精裝外殼，發貨速度真心的快，評價晚瞭，書不錯，應該再早點看的。推薦看，隻是粗淺認識瞭一下，已經感覺到自己邏輯思維更加清晰。好書，受益匪淺，如果不好好研究一下此書，絕對是人生一大遺憾。這天女友打電話問我藉本書，說她寫作需要參考，我說我傢沒有，但我可以幫你找。我一邊接電話一邊就上網搜索，很快找到，立馬告訴她網上京東有。她說我不會在網上買書啊。我嘲笑她一番，然後錶示幫她買。很快就寫好訂單寫好她的地址發齣去瞭。果然第二天，書就送到她那兒瞭。她很高興，我很得意。過瞭些日子，我自己又上網購書，但下訂單後，左等右等不來。以前從來不超過一星期的。我正奇怪呢，劉靜打電話來笑嘻嘻地說，哎，也不知道是誰，心眼兒那麼好，又幫我訂瞭好幾本書，全是我想要的，太好瞭。我一聽，連忙問她是哪幾本？她一一說齣書名，暈，那是我買的書啊。原來我下訂單的時候，忘瞭把地址改過來，送到她那兒去瞭。這下可把她樂死瞭，把我先前對她的嘲笑全還給我瞭。不過京東送貨確實很快。我和女友都很滿意。好瞭，廢話不說。|好瞭，我現在來說說這本書的觀感吧，坐得冷闆凳，耐得清寂夜，是為學之根本；獨處不寂寞，遊走自在樂，是為人之良質。潛心學問，風姿初顯。喜愛獨處，以窺視內心，反觀自我；砥礪思想，磨礪意誌。學與詩，文與思；青春之神思飛揚與學問之靜寂孤獨本是一種應該的、美好的平衡。在中國傳統文人那裏，詩人性情，學者本分，一脈相承久矣。現在講究“術業有專攻”，分界逐漸明確，詩與學漸離漸遠。此脈懸若一綫，惜乎。我青年遊曆治學，晚年迴首成書，記憶清新如初，景物曆曆如昨。揮發詩人情懷，摹寫學者本分，意足矣，足已矣。現在，京東域名正式更換為JDCOM。其中的“JD”是京東漢語拼音（JING DON|G）首字母組閤。從此，您不用再特意記憶京東的域名，也無需先搜索再點擊，隻要在瀏覽器輸入JD.COM，即可方便快捷地訪問京東，實現輕鬆購物。名為“Joy”的京東吉祥物我很喜歡，TA承載著京東對我們的承諾和努力。狗以對主人忠誠而著稱，同時也擁有正直的品行，和快捷的奔跑速度。太喜愛京東瞭。|給大傢介紹本好書《我們如何走到這一步》自序：這些年，你過得怎麼樣我曾經想過，如果能時光穿梭，遇見從前的自己，是否可以和她做朋友。但我審慎地不敢發錶意見。因為從前的自己是多麼無知，這件事是很清楚的。就算懷著再復雜的愛去迴望，沒準兒也能氣個半死，看著她在那條傻乎乎的路上跌跌撞撞前行，忍不住開口相勸，搞不好還會被她厭棄。你看天下的事情往往都是一廂情願。當然我也忍住瞭各種吐槽，人總是要給自己留餘地的，因為還有一種可能是，未來的自己迴望現在，看見的還是一個人。好在現在不敢輕易放狠話瞭，所以總算顯得比年輕的時候還有一分從容。但不管什麼時候的你，都是你。這時間軸上反復上演的就是打怪獸的過程。過去睏擾你的事情，現在已可輕易解決，但往往還有更大的boss在前麵等你。“人怎麼可能沒有煩惱呢”——無論是你初中畢業的那個午後，或者多年後功成名就那一天，總有不同憂傷湧上心頭：有些煩惱是錢可以解決的，而更傷悲的是有些煩惱是錢解決不瞭的。我們曾經在年少時想象的“等到什麼什麼的時候就一切都好起來瞭”根本就是個謬論。所以，隻能咬著牙繼續朝前走吧。

很不錯的書，孩子喜歡。
