A detailed in-depth study of Chinese interregna could be really interesting. There are so many ways for a government or state to collapse, and so many interesting things that happen through and after the collapse. I'd love to read it. #BooksThatHaventBeenWrittenYet
@22 I really like Mote's _Imperial China 900-1800_ for this. It covers the regnums :) as well as the interregnums, but I think you need that to make sense of either.
@clew thank you!!! I requested it through the library 📚!
Any other books you love and recommend? 😇
@22 There's a graphic novel series that is simplified compared to Mote but not frivolous, and there's a wonderful podcast of someone reading The Romance of the 3 Kingdoms and explaining the confusing bits. It's like having your really nice older cousin readin to you over the summer, or something. Respectively

@clew Wow thank you!!! I hadn’t heard about the graphic novels and have requested them from the library as well! And I will give the podcast another try—a few years ago it was a hard medium for me to follow but I should try again for Three Kingdoms. Thank you, can’t wait for this stuff to arrive 😁!
@22 Very cool. Will subscribe to http://www.3kingdomspodcast.com as well.
