About This Novel
There are a total of sixty chapters in the book. Although it is about the founding emperor, the main content is Zhao Kuangyin's experience in his youth before he became emperor, showing readers a flesh-and-blood image of a heroic man in the city. In him, the author embodies the various qualities of an ideal character recognized by the citizenry: he is bold and courageous, dares to take action, supports the weak and punishes the strong, is a chivalrous and righteous man, is loyal and loyal, and promises a thousand pieces of gold. This image has a strong flavor of folk literature and art, and is in the same vein as the image of the Water Margin hero. Mirroring the image of Zhao Kuangyin, the character tone of Zheng En and Tao Sanchun is comic. Zheng En is rude and straightforward, gluttonous with food and drink, brave and fearless, and a bit cunning and witty. Tao Sanchun is a new female image. Although she is ugly, she is kind-hearted, powerful, bold and unrestrained. She is very lovable and becomes a figure with greater influence on the opera stage in later generations.
