遼與金，皆稱帝，元滅金，絕宋世。
Liao and Jin both called their rulers emperors. Yuan destroyed Jin and put an end to the Song.
輿圖廣，超前代，九十年，國祚廢。
Its territory was vast, beyond any earlier dynasty, yet after ninety years its mandate was gone.
Draft translation; it will be revised when the lecture is filmed.
Compared with Wang Xiang's edition
Group 69 遼與金，皆稱帝，元滅金，絕宋世。
Not in Wang Xiang's edition. His history stops at the Song (“The fiery Song arose … north and south fell into turmoil”) and goes straight on to the Seventeen Histories. The seven groups from Liao and Jin through Yuan, Ming and Qing to the Republic were added by later hands; the lecture notes follow the popular editions.
Group 70 輿圖廣，超前代，九十年，國祚廢。
Not in Wang Xiang's edition (added later, see group 69).
From the Father's Lecture Notes
The dynasty with the largest territory lived a very short time. “Its territory was vast, beyond any earlier dynasty” stands right next to “after ninety years its mandate was gone”. The contrast is laid out within twelve characters; you need not add much.
Translated from Yikonglu's Father's Lecture Notes for the Three Character Classic, written for a parent teaching a child.
