《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 [[OuyangXiu|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 [[FengDao|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.
