The book chronicles the legendary exploits of the Yang family, particularly focusing on their struggles against rival forces and the themes of loyalty, honor, and vengeance. The narrative is set during a time of political turmoil in ancient China, emphasizing familial bonds and the quest for justice. The opening of "楊家將演義" introduces readers to the character of 劉鈞, the king of 北漢, who contemplates the growing power of the Song Dynasty and the potential threat it poses.
