It took thirteen years to write, and the manuscript has more than 2 million words. It has been continuously deleted and revised to the current number of more than 800,000 words. The protagonist is a modern scholar who is well-read in poetry and literature. He sows clouds and rains in the contemporary tide of commercialization and achieves a miracle of commercial operation of culture. In the success of fashion, he feels the unknown fragmentation and contradiction in his heart. The novel is full of chatter and noise, and fully presents the grand scene of this era rolling forward with mud and sand. The emergence of "Brother Yingwu" marks the transcendence of a generation of writers' intellectual subjects and technical means. Li Er initiated a reasonable imagination of history and knowledge and implemented it appropriately in every narrative link. As a result, so many characters, knowledge, words, and details are transformed into an image of a changing era, which is unforgettable.

Reader comments
It seems that things can be picked up easily and scattered into collections, but in fact, life is a prose culture. People are composed of countless life fragments, and there is a kind of life form in each fragment. Therefore, there is no loftiness in the novel, only truth. It is really worth savoring, savoring the truth carefully, touching people's hearts, and seeing yourself. Life is like this, in various shapes, right and wrong, shiny and grey. Walk through it yourself and let others comment. Because in life, everyone may be an involuntary participant, an "ordinary person"...
When I first heard it, I didn't know what I meant by the music, but when I listened to it again, I already knew the meaning of the music! When I brushed it for the second time, I didn't feel like I was having fun, but I felt like a bastard in everything! Society is simple, but people are complicated! Some are old scholars, some are officials, some are business elites, some are clowns, some are bohemian, some stick to tradition, some travel across the ocean, or some are dreaming, all of them interpret various aspects of life, social ethics, right and wrong. Especially when I write about a person's downfall or resignation at the end, people can't help but sigh, what is right?
This book is very in-depth, and the protagonist, Brother Yingwu, impressed me deeply. Behind his commercial success, his heart is full of contradictions and fragmentation. This reminds me that in real life, we often lose ourselves in the pursuit of success. However, I also benefited a lot from the grand scenes of the times and rich knowledge presented in the book. All in all, this is a great book worth reading!
Like a glass of water sprinkled on the ground, it flows slowly according to the height of the terrain. With this flow of water, I can see the appearance of some intellectuals. From Babel to Taodu Mountain, it loves you, there are comedy-like stages everywhere. Brother Yingwu's joking psychological activities make people laugh. The prototypes of various Confucianists step into the Zhongtian of several rivers, Yu Dan hahaha. The hatred caused by the loss of fake dogs. A tribute to clever and scientific management of time. Iron Comb, Calvin, Qiao Shanshan, Mingyue, Qingfeng, these people, including Brother Yingwu himself, are all villains. And Yun Niang is an intellectual in the true sense [like]. During the reading process, I always thought about the prototypes of these characters, maybe another "Fortress Besieged".
Of all the works that have won the Grand Prize, this book ranks among the top three!
I am very impressed by Mr. Li's memory and his language that appeals to both refined and popular tastes! Among all the winning works, they should be in the top three!
This is a very informative book, involving various fields. To understand and read it thoroughly, you need to have a certain accumulation of knowledge in literature, calligraphy, philosophy, Buddhism, etc. It is indeed a great benefit!
Crazy people are not crazy. A group of people is not as good as a few loving neighbors and a good apprentice.
Rich in content, knowledgeable and eye-opening
It's nice to read, and the names in the author's book are all very knowledgeable. Looking at the title, I thought it was a biography of Wei Yingwu. After reading it, it is really a time-travel drama.
It is cleverly conceived and revolves around the preparations for the establishment of Taihe College. The Confucian culture and Confucian knowledge involved in it allow people to increase their knowledge while reading the novel!
Some of the annotations in it, especially those involving the annotations of articles published by the characters in the book, are enough to look fake and real. I also searched online and found that the sense of authenticity is quite strong. It is a good book worth recommending!
