The Twelve Hours of Chang'an (2 Volumes in Total)

More than thrilling! The author has put a lot of effort into describing the details of the city of Chang'an and the life of its residents, so that the plot and characters can be elaborated, allowing readers to share in the feast of this work. Thank you for your praise!

Different people will have their own unique concerns and feelings when reading the same book, which cannot be replaced or changed by TV series and movies. The overall feeling of this book for me is that it is shocking. The plot in the book is full of ups and downs, and every turning point is a foreshadowing. As you follow the plot, the truth gradually emerges. When it comes to the surface, every move that is about to succeed is always missed due to some accidents. "A person who travels a hundred miles is only half a mile." Every character is flesh and blood, has his own thoughts and emotions, and has his own judgment and choice. Every choice may not be in line with the original intention but does not hinder logic. The description of the environment and details seems to put the picture in front of people's eyes. It is fascinating and can't stop. The introduction of plot and feelings constantly touches the heartstrings "How would I choose if it were me". It truly depicts one thing vividly but lingeringly. After reading it, it is hearty but unique. A trace of melancholy, it seems that I have finished reading but not yet. Different people have different opinions. A truly good work will definitely leave an indelible impression in people's hearts, or trigger or think about it. The same thing is different in every stage of life. I am very much looking forward to the author's next work, come on!

Twelve o'clock! When I first listened to the first two episodes, I really felt that it was nothing special! Created the hero Zhang Xiaojing? Qianqian starts to get into the fun! The more you watch, the crazier you get, and the plot speeds up little by little! It can't be described as ups and downs. Different characters and events are explained one by one! There is no sense of disconnection! At 12 o'clock, I made an appointment to listen and watch for 5 days! On the way to and from get off work! Before going to bed, I can't help but think about the plot! Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Guozhong (I thought it was behind the scenes, but he didn't show up), He Zhizhang, Li Lingfu, Li Mi, Prince Li Heng, to Longbo, the Huns! The final outcome was absolutely unexpected! He Lao's filial piety, He Dong's filial piety, Li Mi's loyalty, Zhang Xiaojing's loyalty! Long Bo's benevolence and Xiao Gui's righteousness transformed into the final trust! I will recommend friends to see Ma Lao's works. The first Taibaijinxing was a little busy (after reading: Project Manager's Essential Series, Journey to the West: Playing the Monkey, so I interpreted Journey to the West); the second one: Lychees in Chang'an (Li Shande, struggling project management, improved to a higher level, successfully reached the goal, and in the end I could finally pick lychees and eat too much)! Continue to open the Ma Lao series! [Like][Like][Like][Like][Like][Like][Like][Like]

I read this book in physical form in the library when I was in high school, and now I'm reviewing it again. The eight-character evaluation is soul-stirring and thrilling. The ruthless and decisive Zhang Xiaojing, who was born on death row, is a lone hero in troubled times. The young prodigy, the proud and persistent Li Bi is also a rebel in the maelstrom of intrigue. The tragic rebel Luang Por remained a loyal warrior. And Tan Qi is definitely the most eye-catching female character in the book, smart, courageous, affectionate and righteous. He Zhizhang is wily and scheming. Yuan Zai, tend to follow the trend. Wang Yunxiu is arrogant and strong. But if we say the one who can empathize the most is Yao Runeng, he swings from side to side, wanting to protect himself but having trouble losing his conscience, and is the epitome of an ordinary person.

This is a tightly paced and wonderful novel that makes people unable to resist reading it in one sitting. While reading, they build up in their minds the majestic and bustling city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. Through numerous clues from Zhang Xiaojing, Li Qin and others, a mysterious and complex shocking case is constructed. The final ending exceeds the viewer's guesses and is more in line with the actual situation! I hope to read more good books by this author!

In Ma Boyong's novels, the protagonist always endures great pressure and danger, perseveres through twists and turns, and finds a dead end in desperate situations. This spirit is very contagious and inspiring. At the same time, it also embodies the spirit of man conquering nature and putting people first. It is an excellent historical novel. But after all, he is an author in a study. Sometimes he makes mistakes based on life experience and common sense, but the flaws are not hidden and it is worth reading.

The story of the novel is multi-faceted, the plot is ups and downs, and the characters, regardless of the protagonist or supporting role, are vivid and full of flesh and blood, and the story is wonderful. What shocks the soul is not these, but the thoughts caused by the bloody case: He Zhizhang and his son designed and manufactured explosions to threaten the emperor in order to ensure that Li Hengan was crowned prince, but ignored the lives of tens of thousands of Chang'an citizens; the anti-imperial team was the creator and executor of the massive bombing, also ignoring the lives of innocent people, and plausibly saying that they focused on the overall situation and did not care about small details. In the eyes of these people, human life is equal to ants and grass clippings! However, the protagonist publicly declares that he will not be relieved of his death sentence for the sake of the court, but only to eliminate the threat to the lives of tens of thousands of Chang'an citizens, and is willing to do his best to trace the enemy's traces and eliminate the culprits. This is the real hero.

Madam is so wonderful, Prince Ma's handwriting is still so gorgeous and breathtaking. While being attracted by the fun of the story, you can also appreciate the scenery of historical figures and understand historical facts. It is very graphic, with detailed and vivid descriptions. I can say without hesitation that it is the most graphic novel I have ever read! The transition is very wonderful, just right, the author's writing is profound 👍🏻👍🏻 The plot is compact, with a countdown of twelve hours, and the links are interlocking, which makes people unconsciously immersed in it. Every time I watch it, it starts at 50 minutes [cover face] [cover face] and can't stop at all [cover face] [cover face] In short, it is too exciting and gorgeous, and every plot setting is just right and interlocking! I really like Prince Ma's interesting historical novels! It comes from Litchi, and Xiao Changan and Xiao Litchi are actually linked in a dream🥹🥹🥹This is true, I didn't expect it😭😭😭

Ha, after watching half of it, I felt that the rhythm was somewhat similar to the American TV series "24 Hours on Terror." As expected, the author of the postscript said that it borrowed the techniques of "24 Hours on Terrorism" and divided the time into each episode and segment. It is compact and thrilling, and people who watch it can't stop watching it.

I took advantage of the time during the Chinese New Year to read a book, and I couldn't stop it. The story is quite compact, full of ups and downs, and fascinating. If you read it carefully, you can't help but feel like each character. As the story develops, Zhang Yanluo's story is revealed both quickly and slowly. The cooperation between Li Mi and him is really the strongest partner. It took me 9 to 10 hours to read the whole book. After reading it, I felt deeply relieved. I finally let go of my worries. The story sympathizes with everyone's experiences, and I even really feel for the "mayfly" side. But in the end, it was said that all Chang'an cared about was the "unsavory things", which was really irritating. On second thought, it might have always been like this.

Finally finished reading it! This novel has a direct connection with "The Middle Game of the Antique Game". I knew it when I saw "Fish Guts"...

The first part is indeed exciting, but the second part is a bit lengthy. The twists and surprises can certainly arouse people's interest in reading and enhance the interest of the article, but there are too many surprises and twists. Reading too much makes people feel bored, and something will go wrong every time. Once or twice is okay. Reading too much later made me angry. Moreover, the character of the protagonist Zhang Xiaojing is indescribably strange and too contradictory. He always takes on a thankless job. Reading too much makes people feel depressed. It would be better if this book was shorter. However, even with these shortcomings, this book is quite beautifully written. A city of Chang'an full of life is vividly displayed on the page. I can't imagine how much homework the author has done and how much information he has checked. Although the protagonist's character is a bit contradictory, the overall logic is not hindered and the story is perfectly coherent. In short, it is a rare and good book. I recommend it ((*^∀^))👍🏻.

The first half of the book is full of ups and downs, hearty and smooth. But in the second half, I just felt tired and dragged out, and towards the end it became more compact. The story is certainly exciting, with the complex collusion of forces behind it, the reversal of the conspiracy, and the final part of the reasoning about the murderer behind the scenes all inspiring. The postscript about the records in the history books is a great surprise. What's rare is that this book does describe many details of the lives of the people in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, and the immersion is unparalleled. The advantage of e-books is that you can instantly look up unknown words and annotations, and someone will give you an idea in the comments.

This book is very well written, with a compact and organized plot. It is a rare good novel. Big thumbs up to the author.

The storyboard-like narrative technique, the grand and prosperous Chang'an landscape, the immersive language expression, the exciting pursuit battle, the interlocking conspiracies, and the touching character stories are all perfect. After thinking about it, the one who is most dissatisfied and the most difficult to explain clearly is Zhang Xiaojing. A hero who protects the interests of the ruler cannot be called a hero. The righteousness that kills the people and makes the king live is not a righteousness. There is only a thin line between foolish loyalty and solitude. Even if you have extraordinary abilities, you can neither escape the ways of kings and ministers nor escape the shadow of the times.

Overall, ok. Teacher Ma's consistent style pays attention to details and has a historical flavor. The plot in the first half was compact and I couldn't put it down, but in the second half I was a little confused and couldn't figure out the protagonist's thoughts and why he desperately tried to save the emperor when so many officials were thrown to death instead of being burned to death. Since he knew that the Tang Dynasty was in trouble and had already stopped Quelehodo, why did he betray his friend at the last moment? Was he trying to bring him to justice? I can't tell the difference. I can understand the blocking in the front, but it's hard to say in the back. I liked Xu Bin very much, but it's a pity that he died. I feel a little in love with him. I most admire Yuan Zai, who is very shrewd and seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. Although such people are detestable, a civil service system cannot function without such smart and cunning people who know how to maintain the dignity of the official family and the interests of the ruling class. There are many familiar names in it, and it looks very novel. It's a bit confusing at first, but after reading it, it becomes easy to get into the character. Although I don't like the ending, I have to admire the author's imagination and organizational skills. If you want to read a historical novel and are full of yearning for Chang'an, you can give it a try.

I have watched the TV series version of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" before, so when I read this book this time, the images of Lei Jiayin (played by Zhang Xiaojing) and Yi Yang Qianxi (played by Li Mi) always came to my mind, and I unconsciously brought them in! The pace is so fast. Reading a novel makes me nervous. I am ready to read it again.

The success of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" lies in its clever combination of history and culture. Chang'an City in the novel is not only a huge city, but also a city full of cultural heritage. Through the description of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, the author allows readers to feel the cultural atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty. The characters in the novel also have distinct cultural backgrounds. Whether they are bureaucrats, businessmen or literati, they all have their own unique cultural symbols. The use of this kind of cultural symbol makes the characters in the novel more three-dimensional and more appealing.

The details are perfect. A sewer in Chang'an might have to consult a lot of information. This shows how much knowledge the author needs to master to write this novel. The characters are also very vivid, but the ending feels a bit hasty...

The story is very exciting. The book touches on all aspects of the Tang Dynasty, and many familiar historical figures are mentioned. The characters are vividly depicted, the background is lifelike, and the plot is full of ups and downs. As the story unfolds, the truth is revealed to be so unexpected. The author is great. I like Zhang Xiaojing and Tan Qi, but I can't hate all the suffering people among the cockroaches, especially Long Bo, who is so smart and capable. He almost died to defend the country, but when he returned home, his family was broken and everyone was dead. His passion finally turned into the fire of revenge. The various inactions in the book accelerated the decline of the Tang Dynasty.

The characters are very three-dimensional. The images of Li Mi and Zhang Xiaojing are very rich. The so-called villains are also flesh and blood. What they do cannot be said to be right or wrong. When the readers start to debate the behavior of the villains, Prince Ma succeeds. "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" seems to take us through thousands of years and into Chang'an in the prosperous age, allowing us to be immersed in the scene. At the same time, it also lets us know how many people are constantly working hard to protect the people in Chang'an City. There is darkness in Chang'an, life-and-death political struggles, and intrigues. However, there are still people who work hard for their ideals. Chang'an is peaceful, prosperous, and great because of them. Just like in real life, there are many people working hard for our peaceful life, so don't be afraid when you encounter any difficulties and face it hard, because the sun will always rise to illuminate the darkness.

It is a good book. Everyone has created a three-dimensional realistic image, and the ending should be the most reasonable. It is the best outcome for Zhang Xiaojing and Li Mi to return to the ordinary. Yuan Zai gave the best way to deal with the surface. The mastermind behind the scenes died, and the relationship was discarded.

A great novel. The interlocking and ups and downs of the plot make people endlessly memorable. It feels like you are in the novel and witnessed everything that happened in the story. The details are vividly drawn and the characters are flesh and blood. It is very good. After reading it for a few days, I felt empty in my heart. The author is really a genius. It's amazing.

The full text has a tight structure without any delay, the plot is ups and downs, shocking people, the characters are vivid, the lone hero is vivid on the page, and the branch plots are no less impressive. The various images are diverse and real and unforgettable.

I was very excited after reading the first volume. It was very fast-paced and I praised Zhang Xiaojing's awe-inspiring righteousness a lot. Zhang Xiaojing had experienced injustice, but he still had a warmth in his heart and was willing to put himself in danger for the people of the Tang Dynasty. In the second volume, when Zhang Xiaojing gave up Xiao Gui for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, did he ever regret it in his heart? "Pingying" all experienced unfair treatment and wanted to resist and question the injustice of the world, so the characters in the book are all very full. Prince Ma's book is really beautiful and can make every reader see the ugliness of human nature.

I have to admire the author, a suspense detective story, two books were written in one day. There are many branches, the rhythm is tight, and the characters are very full. I especially like what the author said about the geography and topography of Chang'an at that time. I compared it with the map and found that many places were very different from what they are now. The detailed descriptions are difficult to understand, especially the description of Taiyuan Shangxuan Deng Tower, but it is very exciting. It would be nice to have pictures. I don't know what it is used as a sample. Everyone's ending is pretty good, but the mastermind behind the scenes is a bit puzzling. From the perspective of the one who has the greatest interests, Li Longji and all the civil and military officials were killed in one pot. Even if the prince ascends the throne, can he sit still without anyone under his command? On the other hand, as a person who has been a Beijing official all year round, can He Dong control and utilize people like Turks and Peking? A little skeptical. Overall, it's a good book and exciting 😊

Ma Boyong's novels are particularly interesting. The compact plot, clear logic, characterization of characters and description of the environment all show the author's writing skills. I came to read "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" after reading "Chang'an's Lychees". Both sets of books focus on the portrayal of small characters, showing the big picture through the small. The unfortunate encounters, helpless struggles and even resistance of the small characters reflect the inevitable direction of the situation in the Tang Dynasty at that time. After reading the postscript, I appreciate even more the author's efforts and rigorous attitude in creation.

This wonderful story, starting from the legendary figure Zhang Xiaojing, reveals the unknown side of Chang'an City step by step. He is brave and loyal, loves the people like a son, and is also witty and decisive. The image of this positive character is really a perfect ideal image in a troubled society. On the contrary, Yuan Zai, Li Mi and others appear more real, profit-oriented and emperor-oriented. It is this realistic personality background that makes the protagonist Zhang Xiaojing's character more noble. Whether it is the soldiers from the Western Regions or the commander-in-chief of Chang'an, there are too few people who stick to their original aspirations. Zhang Xiaojing's determination is the key to winning the entire game.

Finished reading this book on July 22, 2024. Personally, I feel very shocked. Whether it is the description of Chang'an or the shaping of characters such as Zhang Xiaojing, it makes people admire the whole story. The author Ma Boqian's writing style and literary background are one of the reasons that attracted me to read his works continuously. Here I feel the dangers of officialdom and the complexity of people's hearts. The whole story is confusing and confusing, which makes people sweat and eager to know the truth. There are many things to say, but I can sum it up in one sentence: This book is really a good work worth reading! ! !

From the movie "Chang'an Lychees", I learned that the script was adapted from the original novel of the same name. I got to know Teacher Ma Boyong for the first time, and I thought the logic of the script was amazing! I couldn't help but keep thinking about it. I turned around and went to Tomato to find the teacher's novel and started reading it. From then on, I couldn't stop reading it! I have read several works and like them more and more! I really like "The Eaters of the South", "Nothing Happens in Peach Blossom Land", and "Fifteen Days in Two Capitals" which is similar to this one. They all have outstanding historical and cultural details! Every detail of the scenes, eating utensils, costumes, customs, national beliefs, religious traditions, collections of classics and history, historical allusions, wars and battles, etc., Can be seen that the author has accumulated a lot of experience and knowledge. He must have worked hard to verify and understand, and strived to restore the original appearance of history, making the work almost as detailed as it is to a thrilling level! From it, you can learn a lot of interesting knowledge about ancient customs, historical figures, etc. That you didn't know before. It's like the scenes and characters in historical stories and ancient poems are vividly before your eyes! I am so impressed! Promise and kowtow! No more to say! Continue to pursue the teacher's other books!
