I have read this book for the second time. Although the main character is fictional in time travel, most of the story background is still described according to history. The author is indeed deeply researched and knowledgeable about the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, and many of the characters who appear in the book are real, such as Wang Shao Kaibian, Zhang Dun's second Jinshi, Sima Guang's Zizhi Tongjian, Su Shi's fame only after he was demoted to Hangzhou as the prefect, etc. They are all right. I like this kind of work very much. It is a book worth collecting and pondering!
The author's writing is excellent, and he has a good grasp of the details of historical facts. It is light and continuous, and the fragrance is clear and distant. The boy has learned a lesson.
The logic of this book is at the top of the pyramid. The early writing is really good and full of ancient style. After reading it carefully, the aftertaste lingers. But in the later stages, the author felt a little unable to control the book. All in all, despite its shortcomings, this book is a masterpiece. It's one of a kind.
It's very exciting, much better than those time-traveling palace fight dramas. The score was rated low. I feel that this article should have a score of no less than 9.5 To be fair. How much knowledge is required to write such a good article! On the other hand, there are many time-travel stories with a score of 9 or above. Countless of them are mindless, superficial and boring. We should give more encouragement to these writers who are truly knowledgeable and talented, have a lot of references at their fingertips, and have great literary talent. In this way, over time, their writing style will be corrected.
The writing is very rigorous, step by step, but it is too cumbersome and troublesome to read, making people love and hate it at the same time. The author's writing style is very good, and the writing can make people think about it.
I must say, this is the time-travel novel I most want to see. There is no arrogance of history, no crazy harem, and there is no magic or spiritual cultivation or internal power. The main events basically advance according to the historical context. The author's research on the history and culture of the Northern Song Dynasty is at a professional level, and his description of the intrigues in the court is also top-notch. You will benefit a lot from reading it. Moreover, the author's three views are very correct: Hengqu's four sentences, respecting the teacher but not blindly believing in the teacher, these are all very popular with me. Of course, there are some minor flaws: 1. The author is obviously from a liberal arts background, and his description of industrial development is very weak; 2. The author's description of the war is also poor; 3. The author does not have a deep understanding of the contemporaneous history of neighboring countries - Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam. Of course, the shortcomings do not hide the good points, and overall it is a work that can be rated 9 points.
It's a really good book, and no one with a weak heart can read it. The story is also designed to be interlocking, and it is indeed Mr. Han who climbed up step by step. Finally, the rise of science is a sublimation of history and literature, and it is not limited to princes. This book made me understand the history of the Song Dynasty better, and it also made me, Mr. Hengqu, understand more deeply, not just the four sentences of Hengqu. However, with the understanding, I still have regrets about the decline of Hengqu. If there are those what-ifs, it will be a new turning point in history.
This book is considered a very classic one written in the Song Dynasty. The author has a very deep cultural background. Many things that appear in this book require a deep reserve of historical knowledge to write. It is estimated that the author prepared at least several months or even years before writing the book because there is so much information to check! The plot of the story is very compact, link by link, and it is even more exciting in many places! The book is a good book, but the audience is too small. It is not as popular as the messy fantasy cultivating immortals. This kind of book is only willing to be read by people with some academic qualifications.
After reading it for so long, I feel sorry for this book with this rating! ! ! The book is a good book. The protagonist is a man of literary and military skills. He is the kind of person who makes people think he is very powerful at first glance. If you read it carefully, you will find that the protagonist is even more powerful! The image of the protagonist is so successfully created, which shows that the author is very, very powerful. The book has self-consistent logic and rich historical knowledge. The celebrities of the Song Dynasty also have their own styles, calculations, and selfish motives. They quote poems and songs. I think the most awesome thing is that it links physics with the Confucian "investigation of things to gain knowledge"! The only shortcoming I can say is probably that it is too long, but for people like me who are book-hungry, long masterpieces are never a problem when reading! I'm afraid that the author's writing is too short, and I haven't read the book yet! It's a long book for those who don't like to read long stories. For me, it's perfect. I love all the details, foreshadowing, and informative descriptions by the author! ! !
The profound historical foundation and detailed textual research make it feel like you are not reading a novel, but watching a modern person truly return to ancient society and deduce a different history. After reading too many Naobaishuang articles, this book is really a refreshing stream of water, refreshing my heart.
