Wang Anshi, the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty [EPUB ebook] 

Wang Anshi was an eminent politician and man of letters in the Northern Song period. This book is structured into three main sections to narrate his life. The initial part outlines the societal context prior to his governance and the developmental journey of Wang Anshi, painting a vast backdrop against which his administration and reforms took place. The second section delves into Wang Anshi’s political ascendancy and the all-encompassing and profound reform process he embarked upon with Emperor Shenzong. The final part portrays the life of Wang Anshi following his resignation from office and subsequent retreat into seclusion. The author places a strong emphasis on re-establishing Wang Anshi’s position and contributions in the realms of classical scholarship, I Ching studies, and literary works in poetry and prose, which constitutes a significant feature of this book.
