The historical period described in this book is from the fourth year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1130) to the twelfth year of Shaoxing (1142). It shows the fierce political, military and cultural shocks in the early Southern Song Dynasty, and reveals the formation process and internal logic of the Southern Song Dynasty's territorial isolation, political autocracy and cultural stagnation. In the fourth year of Jianyan, the Jin army returned empty-handed after searching the mountains and seas, marking the beginning of the substantive founding period of the Southern Song Dynasty; in the twelfth year of Shaoxing, the Song and Jin signed a peace agreement, and the Southern Song Dynasty completed the founding process and national reconstruction, formally established the political system and military system that influenced the Middle Ages, and laid the foundation for the basic cultural form and ideology.
