The story of the Tang Dynasty/The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties by Cai Dongfan, the author of the Cai Dongfan Historical Forum, is also very good. Let's talk about the history books of the Song Dynasty in three levels. First, at the academic level, the basic historical materials of History of Song Dynasty are: History of Song Dynasty (not Book of Song Dynasty, but History of Liu and Song Dynasties in Southern Dynasties), Compilation of Song Manuscripts, General Examination of Documents, History of Song Dynasty as a Mirror, Chronicle of Three Dynasties and Chronicle of Northern League. When you get started, you can look at the History of Song Dynasty. Mr. Deng Guangming's most important academic work, The History of Song Dynasty, has been published. Secondly, the well-known comprehensive monographs are: History of the Song Dynasty (Marco, Shanghainese), Concise History of the Song Dynasty (namely, History of the Song Dynasty in China, People's Publishing House) and General History of the Song, Liao, Jin and Xixia in the Five Dynasties of China (edited by Bai Shouyi). Bao Weimin's A Brief History of the Song Dynasty (Fujian people) and A Hundred Years' Research on the System History of the Song Dynasty (Commercial Press) are also good introductory books. Someone mentioned the book History of Song Dynasty, which was published by Beijing Publishing House before, and it was also an introductory reading. Second, the non-academic but serious popular reading is currently the best one "On the Song Dynasty" (more than a professor at Shanghai Normal University, not a book). Recently, a historical book "I am from the Song Dynasty" has just been published, which is also a serious and popular reading. In addition, the cursor "On the Eighteen Emperors of Song Dynasty" mentioned above can also be read, and there are some bibliographies.
