頃自有唐失禦，天步方艱，巢、蔡喪亂之餘，朱、李戰爭之後，中夏多故，六紀於茲，海縣瓜分，英豪鼎峙，自為聲教，各擅烝黎，連衡而交結四夷，乘釁而憑陵上國。 Since Tang lost the Mandate the realm has known sixty years of turmoil—from the catastrophes of Huang Chao and Qin Zongquan through the wars of Zhu Wen and Li Keyong. The empire was carved among rival warlords, each ruling his own domain, allying with barbarian powers and pressing the central state whenever weakness appeared.
