by Wang Fan
About This Novel
Through careful reading of the local chronicles of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, as well as the crawling of imperial edicts, memorials, notes, family trees, inscriptions and other documents, this book salvaged only a few words of records hidden in the documents, and gave a heart-warming portrait of the people of the prefectures and counties. This book takes the Xiqi land in the Guanzhong area as the main research object, mainly the "Qishan County Chronicles" and other local chronicles of Xifu during the Qianlong period, and other documents and archives of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It starts with typical figures in the prefectures and counties, including the gentle representatives of the students, the wealthy gentry and merchants, the hard-working Qi people, the chaste women and martyrs... Through the analysis of their lives and destiny, it attempts to restore the living conditions of ordinary civilians in the prefectures and counties during the monarchy.
