Before the main text, the author wrote a legendary story from the Qing Dynasty. There is a bean juice shop by the Yinding Bridge. The shop owner's daughter is handsome, but unfortunately she is taken to the house by Evil Beizi. A young man on horseback comes to help. The evil Beizi is punished, and the bean juice shop owner's daughter also returns home. But before this paragraph, the author wrote in the title: "You can skip this paragraph and not read it. But it doesn't hurt to read it." It turns out that the focus of the author's writing is the "ordinary and trivial aspect of the Bell and Drum Tower", a story that is "close" to the readers' lives. Liu Xinwu pointed out in the article "The Structure and Narrative Language Selection of "The Bell and Drum Towers"" that his purpose in writing the novel was: "An attempt to show readers a colorful picture of the lives of contemporary Beijing citizens, or in other words, an attempt to show the social and ecological landscape of contemporary Beijing." When we open the novel, we will find that the author does not deliberately pursue artistic techniques to create characters, but is serious and realistic like a scientist or photographer, and strives to explore a new way of writing novels.
