Big and Small in History
by Ma Boyong
About This Novel
This is a loose collection of historical essays, which collects some small articles that I have written scatteredly over the past ten years. Really, extra bulk. Among them are my personal experience of reading classic classics with my children, the history of toothaches from ancient times that I summarized to divert my pain when I had a toothache, my comments on Pu Songling's "College Entrance Examination Essay" corrections, and the insights I gained when I visited the Qin Palace Tomb. There are even commemorative articles about the martyrs who resisted Japan and aided Korea in the Ming Dynasty and movie scripts about the Dunhuang rebels, which are very different. If they have anything in common, when I wrote these articles, I had no distracting thoughts, only abundant, pure and even a little excessive desire for expression and curiosity. If history has a keyhole, curiosity is the golden key.
