《新五代史》 / New History of the Five Dynasties

《新五代史》 / New History of the Five Dynasties is the historical work by 欧阳修 that EP252 《太平年》之外的五代十国，什么样？ makes central to 五代十国概念形成 / Five Dynasties Ten Kingdoms Concept Formation. In the episode, its organization helps stabilize “十国” as a later canonical category rather than a naturally obvious list.

The text also matters for moral memory. The episode uses Ouyang Xiu’s criticism of 冯道 and admiration for loyalist figures to show how later Song ethical order could judge Five Dynasties survival behavior more harshly than the actors’ own unstable political world did.
