After the broadcast of 'The Year of Great Peace', everyone started to rush to understand the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, as if searching for a footnote to the present in a time of chaos.
Many people say that the Russian people are a fighting nation, but the ones who truly took the power struggle to the extreme are on this land that has repeatedly collapsed and been rebuilt. No ethnic group or region has experienced such frequent and brutal internal elimination.
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the fact that fourteen emperors and dozens of rulers came and went over several decades proves only one thing: as long as the power structure enters a period of adjustment on this land, a purge is almost an inevitable action, and this has repeatedly happened in history.
The most interesting thing is that later generations often reflect on why this is the case. However, when the power structure is adjusted, they will fall into a new cycle. After the Hundred Schools of Thought during the Spring and Autumn period, in the culture of this land, power is greater than contracts, systems, and even everything in the world, yet their words are full of benevolence, righteousness, morality, and institutional norms.
In reality, many issues can be resolved with a piece of paper and tens of thousands of words signed as a public contract, but this has never been completed.
If there is a creator, the creator might also find it hard to believe. An extremely hardworking, highly disciplined, and remarkably capable nation cannot complete the most basic public institutional negotiation at the lowest cost.
I used to think that only politics was like this and that one should stay away from politics, but later I realized that every aspect of life is like this; from birth, it is determined that only thoughtless lies can integrate into this land.
