Although this is not a historical work, the novel still highlights various problems and contradictions in Song Dynasty society in various ways. For example, the most prominent conflict between civil servants and military generals
He writes about all kinds of situations in the world and depicts all kinds of tasks in detail. Although this is not a historical work, the novel still highlights various problems and contradictions in Song Dynasty society in various ways. Compare
This is a more serious and serious historical novel, so the development of the plot does not deviate from historical facts. The two emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty still went "Northern Hunting", Yue Fei did not regain Tokyo, and finally had to retreat.
After reading it, I learned more about the history from Song Huizong to Song Gaozong. I really wonder why so many monarchs and ministers in the Song Dynasty took the path of surrender, their spines were so weak. The protagonist Ma Kuo always felt that he was limited in what he could do, and in the end he didn't seem to be convincing enough to prove that he was a strong man, even though Ma Kuo did not die in the end. The relationship between Ma Kuo and Gan Niang also lacks some convincing. Some passages are a bit lengthy.
