The Wenxiangxie Collection (Complete in 4 Volumes)

It's rare to see a novel with such vivid writing and ink. Each character in every frame has a very distinct personality, especially the scenes of food and life, and the words and sentences used when making fragrant powder are quite elegant. Plus each short story is connected into a complete ending. I like Wan Niang with great love.

It's super beautiful, and the author's writing skills are extraordinary. Moreover, I found that the author should be from Luoyang. He knows Luoyang like the back of his hand, and even the snacks in Luoyang are so familiar. It's not easy! After reading books for many years, I finally saw a book written by an author from Luoyang, and the writing was so good! Awesome!

Agarwood and powder; this is one of the symbols for ancient aristocratic women to decorate themselves and reflect their status; and this book is based on the Wenxiang Pavilion in Luoyang, the city of the Tang Dynasty. Mysterious and peculiar; Mo'er worked here as a slave, worked diligently in the incense shop, and also learned many handed down crafts here; and each of these 8 volumes of stories is more unexpected than the last, including the mystery of Mo'er's tragic life experience, and the bizarre adventure experiences of Wan Niang Mo'er and others. The author can be said to be prolific and wonderful in writing. Each of these works contains a large number of descriptions of ancient market life and natural insertions of traditional poems and songs. This shows that she has solid experience in ancient Chinese writing.

It's a very interesting book. I'm looking forward to the second part. I really want to see Wan Niang and Wen Qingmoer reunite.

After staying up for several days and nights, I finally finished reading this book while switching back and forth between reading and listening. The author's writing style is superb, and he vividly portrays the characters and storylines in the book, as if during the Emperor Wu's period, there really was such a fragrance shop in a small street in Luoyang. The shopkeeper was a skilled perfume maker, and he and two boys with opposite personalities were famous for their good craftsmanship. I have seen many readers saying that they hate the protagonist Mo'er in the story, but I feel that it is her advantages and disadvantages that make this character more vivid and three-dimensional. Just imagine what we were doing when we were twelve or thirteen years old in today's real world when we have no worries about food and clothing. Isn't it the same with being playful, eating well, being lazy, playing games, and bullying classmates? When I was twelve or thirteen years old, my parents were extremely worried that I would not be able to get into a good junior high school, a key class, or a good university in the future. As for me, I might also be making excuses for my playfulness and unsatisfactory grades. Perhaps because it ends in tragedy or with an undefined ending, this kind of story makes readers more confused and endlessly daydreaming. In this way, each of us can come up with a satisfactory ending for it, which is good.

Although it is a fantasy novel, the author does not emphasize taste. Instead, he spends a lot of words describing the beauty of plants and nature; describing the craftsmanship of making incense; describing the food of the Tang Dynasty; describing the little urchins playing and playing; describing the quarrels between brothers and sisters. The shop, the road, the garden, and the fields are full of the interest of life. The author writes about many exotic flowers and plants, which are novel and interesting, and many of them can be prototyped in reality. For example, the cannibal "Dianliu" should be derived from "Dianbai" and so on. There are four volumes, each with a new dungeon story, but basically the characters are not particularly complex, and the author can portray them with ease. But the fly in the ointment is that the plot is "light", and many incidents are solved purely by setting. Setting a kind of incense with specific functions can and can only solve this problem. Of course, the genre of monsters is originally "setting literature" rather than "evolutionary literature".

The novel has rich and colorful imagination, full of wonderful life, and the beauty of human nature makes people yearn for it...

I haven't seen such a high-quality book in a long time. The exquisite conception of the plot and the vivid and delicate depiction of the characters all show the author's profound literary foundation and rich connotation. It's so good, I'm looking forward to the sequel.

The characters are all lively and interesting, highly recommended
