Jiashen Poetry History: 1644 Written by Wu Meicun (special Issue on Chinese Literature and History)

About This Novel
Professor Chen Anfeng used the words and deeds of Wu Meicun's life to carefully demonstrate and describe the process of the collapse of the earth and the words and deeds of the emperors and ministers inside and outside the court, as well as the right and wrong causes and consequences. History can teach future generations, and characters can serve as models at home and abroad. The teachers, friends, and friends of Wu Meicun, Qian Qianyi, and the people of Melon, Vine, and Lotus Roots, no matter whether they are good, stupid, ugly, or various mental movements at the time, can all reflect how the conscience and self-nature emerge in the world when the country is in flux and the society is in crisis. The characteristic of Professor Chen's works is that he has always been able to use detailed materials as the basis, proficient language as a tool, and a serious attitude as the power to explain the profound things in simple terms and create touching results. I have always admired his works and consider them to be examples of the integration of academics and literature. They can be carefully read, studied or referred to by college experts, middle school teachers and students, and even amateurs. --Wang Jingguang [Judge Member of the Hong Kong Arts Development Council/Emeritus Professor of the Chinese University of Hong Kong] The historical tragedy of the "Jiashen Incident", in which Chongzhen died for his country, the country fell, the earth collapsed, and wars raged all over the place, shocked the poet Wu Mei Chun (Wu Weiye, Chun Gong, 1609-1671) who was full of historical consciousness. While enduring the humiliation, he could only write poems to write about the beginning and end of the overthrow of the country, in order to fulfill the responsibilities of a historian and a poet. His works are just like what Shen Deqian (Que Shi, 1673-1769) said: "The thoughts of the motherland are always revealed." Under Wumeicun's all-round poetic history, the earth-shaking turbulent changes of the "Jiashen Incident" are like a tragic scroll, slowly unfolding, with continuous sorrow and hatred, making people sing and cry. --Chen Anfeng
