Description: Historical Records of the Five Dynasties" by Ouyang Xiu, translated by Richard L. Davis, is a seminal work in Chinese historical literature that provides a comprehensive account of the tumultuous period known as the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period (907-960 AD) in Chinese history. Written by the renowned Song dynasty historian and statesman Ouyang Xiu, this translation offers readers invaluable insights into the political intrigue, military conflicts, and cultural developments of this pivotal era.The book begins with an overview of the collapse of the Tang dynasty and the subsequent fragmentation of China into multiple rival states, each vying for dominance over the Central Plains. Ouyang Xiu meticulously chronicles the rise and fall of the Five Dynasties—the Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou—as well as the myriad kingdoms and regional powers that emerged during this period of disunity.Through vivid narrative and meticulous analysis, Ouyang Xiu delves into the complex web of alliances, betrayals, and power struggles that characterized the political landscape of the Five Dynasties era. He explores the lives and reigns of key figures such as the ambitious warlords, crafty strategists, and visionary rulers who shaped the course of history during this turbulent period.In addition to political and military events, Ouyang Xiu also examines the cultural and intellectual achievements of the era, highlighting the contributions of scholars, poets, and artists who flourished amidst the chaos of war and instability.Overall, "Historical Records of the Five Dynasties" offers readers a compelling narrative of a pivotal period in Chinese history, shedding light on the dynamics of power, the resilience of the human spirit, and the enduring legacy of a bygone era Date: 2004.

Description: ISBN10: 0231128266, ISBN13: 9780231128261, [publisher: Columbia University Press, New York] Hardcover Hardcover. Only fragments of historical text from China's middle period have been translated into English, until now. Here at last is the first major Chinese historical work from the Song dynasty. Written by Ouyang Xiu, an intellectual giant of the eleventh century, this is a history of the preceding century (907979), a period known as the Five Dynasties.The historical and literary significance of Ouyang's achievement cannot be underestimated. In rewriting the existing official history of the Five Dynasties, Ouyang-whose own time was characterized by extraordinary intellectual and political innovation-made several notable decisions. He rewrote the history in the "ancient" style preferred by forward-thinking literati; he even rewrote the original documents quoted within biographies. He also relied on his own moral categories, reevaluating the worth of the historical figures in light of his own convictions that individuals should take personal responsibility for the fate of society. Ouyang's history would eventually become the official version-the last state-sanctioned dynastic history of imperial China to be written by an individual in a private capacity. In addition to its provocative insights and lucid presentation, Historical Records of the Five Dynasties is an eloquent statement on the art of historical writing in the eleventh century. A preeminent scholar of Chinese history, Richard L. Davis has provided a thorough introduction and rendered nearly two-thirds of the Chinese original into English, including complete sections critical to understanding the politics and personalities of the time. Biographical clusters based on Ouyang's moral categories also appear in full, helping readers to appreciate the Confucian agenda that informs the work. Written by Ouyang Xiu, an intellectual giant of the eleventh century, this is a history of the preceding century (907 - 979), a period known as the Five Dynasties. This book emphasises on the art of historical writing in the eleventh century. It includes sections that are helpful to understand the politics and personalities of the time.
