The ancient history of the mainland is the history of the rise and fall of countless feudal dynasties, and there are many impressive stories flowing in this long river of history. Cartoonists in neighboring Japan often use the history of China as a backdrop for their work, and a Japanese reader recently put together a chart showing manga works set in various eras of China.
As the starting point of the whole chart, Yin ~ (West) Zhou's manga is "Romance of the Gods" by Ryu Fujisaki. Sengoku ~ Qin's manga is Yasuhisa Hara's "King of the World" and Hideki Mori's "Ink Attack". Qin ~ Former Han is Yokoyama Guanghui's "Xiang Yu and Liu Bang" and Kawahara Masatoshi's "Dragon Shuai's Wings".
Next up is the most popular Japanese "Three Kingdoms Era" (Later Han Dynasty ~ Wei Shu Wu ~ Western Jin Dynasty), and the manga listed in this chart include Yokoyama Mitsuki's "Three Kingdoms", Wang Xintai's "Cangtian Route", Yamahara's "Legend of the Dragon and Wolf", and the original work of Wu Lunzun and the painting of Ikegami Ryuichi's "Super Three Kingdoms - Ba". The first three works are all masterpieces with a good reputation, but Wu Lunzun's "Super Three Kingdoms" is extremely bad at historical magic reform, and it is a very controversial work.
In the Sui Dynasty after the Sixteen Kingdoms, the manga listed on the table was "Wind Flying Thousands of Miles" by Yoshiki Tanaka and drawn by Motomuraeri.
The Tang Dynasty is known as the "Age of Journey to the West", and the manga set in this period includes "Red Peony" by Sonosana, the original work by Yoshiki Tanaka, "Tianzhu Hot Wind Record" by Itose, and "Long Song Xing" by Xia Da. As a rare Chinese comic that was exported to Japan in the early years, Xia Da's "Long Song Xing" is also the only Chinese work in this chart.
The Song Dynasty after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is known as the "Age of the Water Margin", and the manga set during this period includes "The Legend of the Northern Song Dynasty" by Rinlin Takiguchi, and "The Snake of the Moon: The Legend of the Water Margin" by Yudai Nakamichi.
This was followed by the Yuan Dynasty during the Mongol period, and manga set in this period include "The Witch Under the Dome" by Tomato Soup, and "Khan-Grass and Iron and Sheep-" by Takeshi Seshita. However, Tomato Soup, the author of "The Witch in the Dome", responded to the chart, arguing that the comic is based on the Mongol Empire, not about Chinese history.
Finally, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, which was the intersection of ancient Chinese history and modern history, Ogawa Etsuji's "The Little Master of China" is believed to be a work that many friends have seen. Another work on the chart is Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's The Dog of the Royal Road, which depicts the changes in the situation in China, Japan and Korea during this period.
