Battle of Heroes in the Nine Provinces [EPUB ebook] 

When we read the ‘Records of the Grand Historian’ today, we must understand why we read and how to read. It is not about looking at isolated ancient stories, but about learning how to interpret history and analyze the will of people and the historical process in reading. Reading history is a serious matter, but when you salvage the scattered remnants in the long river of history, grasp the historical facts, and construct a historical view, you can experience the ultimate pleasure of reading.’The Nine Provinces in the Strife of Heroes’ includes nine regional overlords from the Warring States period in the ‘Records of the Grand Historian, ‘ such as King Fuchai of Wu, King Goujian of Yue, King Wei of Qi, and King Wu Ling of Zhao. Through the life stories of these figures, we can follow the historical sequence and understand the context of Chinese history during the Spring and Autumn period, gaining a deeper insight into the essence of Chinese culture.
