"I added this book just to criticize this book" A book written by a Japanese who thinks he understands the Tang Dynasty is completely different. It is not so much a story about the Tang Dynasty as "The Legend of the Demon Cat", but rather a supernatural novel about the Japanese chieftain's family in the name of the Tang Dynasty (because Japan cannot offend the emperor/Japanese chiefs, so the author used the Tang Dynasty as a cover) (ಡωಡ). Indeed, Japan learned from the Tang Dynasty's utensils, technologies, systems, and even culture, but they will never, ever understand, let alone learn, the Tang Dynasty's magnanimity as a great nation. The Japanese, who have low self-esteem, pretend to be proud and proud of themselves. It is really ridiculous! (ಡωಡ)hiahiahia

I didn't watch the movie, but I saw the book and decided to read it. Maybe it's because the author is Japanese and the translation is so the language is a little strange. Lots of dialogue. It has a good grasp of the customs and customs of that era. This one is more brilliant than other works, covering all historical events. In fact, it is not recommended to read. The narrative style is not suitable for ordinary readers. Unless you have a certain affection for the author, it will not be easy to read.
