The reason why there are few stories handed down from the Yuan Dynasty in ancient China is that the Yuan Dynasty was a relatively short-lived dynasty in the history of China. The Yuan Dynasty was founded by Kublai Khan in 127 1 year. His predecessor was the Great Mongolia established by Genghis Khan. 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor to establish the Ming Dynasty, and then the Northern Expedition expelled Yuan Ting and captured Beijing. Since then, Yuan Ting retired to Mobei, known as Beiyuan in history. In this way, the history of the Yuan Dynasty is less than 100 (97 years).

Even in this 7 1 year, there are 8 years that intersect with the Southern Song Dynasty (the Southern Song Dynasty perished in 1279), and the history of China is usually based on the Song Dynasty. In this way, the Yuan Dynasty in the historical records ruled the Central Plains for about 90 years, many years less than the Han Dynasty, the Tang and Song Dynasties and even the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so it is normal to have fewer stories.
