A Dazzling Soul in This Mortal World

The writing is humorous, I quite like it, but it's a bit short. The arrogance, unwillingness, and optimism of literati. Everyone is the star of their time and the light of this world. Even after thousands of years, some people and things can still inspire me, or I can gain insights from them.

This book is very interesting! It tells the stories of twenty ancient literati in a humorous way, allowing me to see their unknown side. For example, it turned out that Li Bai was a son-in-law, and Li Qingzhao was once trapped by a "scumbag". Through these stories, the author connects the rise and fall of Chinese history, just like digging for treasures, which keeps surprising people. "Why did a poet who didn't envy wealth marry into a wealthy family twice?" After seeing this sentence, I couldn't help but want to find out in the book.

History is not humorous, it is the author who is humorous. I also read another similar book, but this one left a deeper impression. I think it has something to do with the author's humor. Most of the understanding of poets and poets comes from textbooks without extended reading, so the understanding of these poets and poets will be too one-sided and thin. For example, I have always felt that it was a pity that Wang Bo died young, but after reading this book, I found that Lu Zhaolin, who lived longer, lived in too much pain, and it would not be a bad thing to die early. I have always thought that Wang Wei Shifo should be a Buddhist poet, but I didn't expect that he is very flexible and has his own principles and ethics. I have always felt that Li Qingzhao is really miserable, but after reading this book I found that she is also very bold and brave. Knowing that Xin Qiji's ambition was hard to achieve, after reading this book, I realized that he could not integrate into the Southern Song Dynasty court. He was really untimely, and the wise minister did not meet the wise king Bole. We know Zhang Yanghao's saying "When prosperity occurs, the people suffer. When death occurs, the people suffer." I didn't know that his original name was Ximeng. Not only did he lament the rise and fall, but he also personally contributed money and efforts to the people, and eventually died on the front line of disaster relief. I had no idea when I was learning the lyrics. After reading this article and learning about the author and the background of the lyrics, I burst into tears. Reading this book will make you laugh because of Sima Xiangru's packaging, be moved by Han Yu's repeated defeats (exams), and burst into tears because of Zhang Yanghao's sacrifice for the people. Full of harvest, grateful to meet you. Meet the author, meet this book, and meet every historical and cultural figure with flesh and blood and personality, "The Shocking Guest in the World". When learning Chinese, it is really necessary to supplement extracurricular knowledge and do more extracurricular reading.

Shocking guest in the world---- Pay tribute to those lovely, charming, smart, kind, and intelligent ancestors~ A man of great stature throughout the ages, I love Su Dongpo the most. The charm of Dongpo shines, He is good at both poetry and cuisine. My heart has long admired you deeply, Idols will last forever. Thursday, April 10, 2025, the thirteenth day of the third month of the lunar calendar. At 2:55, the weather is fine and we are in Huangdao.

After listening to it in one breath, hearty and hearty feasts appeared before my eyes like a revolving lantern. From the beginning of the banquet to the end of the banquet, when everyone disperses, vivid figures appear brightly and then leave dimly. The last thing is that they cannot be retained in the world. When the next banquet starts, will you still come?

It's very interesting and humorous to learn about the history, the background of the poems, and the lives of famous people. My favorites are Xin Qiji and Zhang Yanghao.

The content of this book is not difficult to understand. Instead, it combines the characters' own experiences to enrich the image of the literati. Looking at the lives of ancient literati from the past dynasties from the perspective of later generations of readers, I have a known perspective and see that it was not always smooth sailing. They also encountered difficulties, frustrations, and the burdens and responsibilities of life. Sometimes I wonder if I could have had a good ending if I had changed my character and the beginning, but maybe that is what makes these people so rare and valuable. There needs to be such people in history, and the things behind them are left to future generations to comment on. [Love]
