Overall Rating:★★★★★★ [Status: Completed] One of China's four great masterpieces, it can be said to be the earliest Shu-Han text. It's hard to overestimate this masterpiece.




[The four real masterpieces, please like] "The rolling waters of the Yangtze River pass eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure are all gone, but the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. The white-haired fish on the Qiao River watch the autumn moon and spring breeze. We are happy to meet each other over a pot of turbid wine, and many things in ancient and modern times can be discussed with laughter. "(Just ask how many people sang along?!) A piece of history, a piece of sentiment, and an immortal legend of a hero.



The Four Great Classics. Makes me confused.
