Nice! Prince Ma is really good at finding stories from the cracks of history. Each inconspicuous little character was written by Prince Ma into soul-stirring novels. What's even more gratifying is that the prince's writing style in the past two years has gone further than in the early years, and the ending is also very logical and not unfinished. Writing a book from the perspective of a foodie is interesting in itself. Come on, come out with more new books!
The prince's book is very good-looking. I strongly recommend this book. It uses small things to see the big things. The writing is profound. The characters are vivid and flesh-and-blood. The storyline is constantly reversing. There are also small characters who help each other. It makes people feel warm. After reading it, I feel hearty and hearty, just like Tang Meng tasting the root of folded ears [smile]
I really got to know Teacher Ma Boyong from "The Lychees of Chang'an". I am not a person who particularly loves reading, but Prince Ma's stories derived from life and combined with history really attracted me. In the past, when I watched the drama version of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" and "The Ming Dynasty under the Microscope", I only lamented that the TV series were excellent. I didn't know that it was the work of Prince Ma. I regretted that I didn't get involved earlier. "The Eaters of the South" really impressed me with the author's writing style. The content described brought me into the story, and I felt like I was seeing the real scene and eating the real thing. Good reviews, highly recommended!
This novel is derived from a passage in historical records. The text is smooth and the plot is compact. The reversal at the end of the novel is heart-warming. A man can also die thousands of miles away when he is angry. Ma Boyong's novel is worth reading!
At the beginning, Magistrate Tang, who seems to have no ambitions and only wants good food, actually has a keen eye. He sees the good food and observes the things hidden behind the food - whether it is geography, time and space, it is a manifestation of his good thinking and problem-finding. But he also saw the dark side of the world, so he exiled himself. He was unwilling to think about and pursue more peace of mind. He only wanted a full stomach and peace of mind. It was the deputy who was forced to do business that made him see the miserable little girl Sugar Cane. It was also his desire for peace of mind that made him never let go of the brother and sister in his childhood. So he kept working as a decipherer and a reasoner, and revealed the truth of the matter to the world. In the end, fate is like a closed loop, using Sugarcane's life to tell him that the world is still the same, darkness will envelope every civilian, and their lives are like grass and duckweed, and then use "righteousness" and "overall situation" to turn them into insignificant numbers. Tang Meng had no choice but to use magic to defeat magic, even if he spent nearly half his life trying to build the road! It was built until the day when the Nanyue City was destroyed and the people paid homage to the deceased. Ah ah ah ah, the teacher writes so well! ! Although it is a short story evolved from words and paragraphs stripped from history, but! It's perfect. Whether it's the process of making the food in the article or the local customs and customs encountered along the way, it's all very interesting! It makes people seem to follow Tang Meng into that era, and understand why he wanted to build roads and why he was able to make the natural chasm to South Vietnam a smooth road. Although it is just a short story made up of speculation, it is really touching! It makes me want to open the history books again and see what kind of stories those people who left their names will have.
Looking forward to seeing this drama on screen soon! It's really super pretty! The characters and plot are very rigorous and organized. Highly recommended to everyone! Just like lychee, very delicious!
This book is the third book I have read by Teacher Ma this year. From the rigorous and humble Li Shande in The Lychees of Chang'an, to the sophisticated and smooth Taibai Jinxing in Taibai Jinxing, to the lazy and food-loving Tang Meng in this book, the three people have their own characteristics, but they all stepped out of their comfort zones for the sincerity in their hearts and created great achievements in their lives. The lives of the three protagonists, a humble house slave, a smooth middle-level leader and a career-loving career worker, all fit in with the ox-horse people of this century. It makes people laugh and find a surprise that resonates with the souls of the ancients. I am deeply impressed by Teacher Ma's wonderful writing. I also hope that I can be like the protagonist of the story, and not lose the sincerity of my youth. After half a life, I am still a teenager when I come back, and I can have an achievement that goes smoothly. Teacher Ma's novels are particularly vivid in terms of descriptions of scenery and characters. Different characters have different language and action characteristics. The details are rich and the characters are three-dimensional. It reads like a slowly unfolding picture scroll, elegant and moving, and the storyline is like a movie. It is exciting. After reading it, I will have endless aftertaste and linger in my mind for three days. I have benefited a lot from reading Teacher Ma's novels. There are workplaces, human nature, life, food, allusions, and power. Each novel and each story has taught me a lot of knowledge that cannot be learned in textbooks. In life, I have even experienced many times in my life without awakening. After reading it, I was enlightened. Sure enough, there are thousands of books to read and thousands of miles to travel. I definitely know that this matter needs to be carried out, but if I didn't know it on paper before, it would have been superficial to me. I highly recommend all of Teacher Ma's books! It will make the trip worthwhile! !
"Southern Eater", although it does not currently have a 9.9 Score, I think it is very interesting. It's a historical novel, in the style of Ma Boyong's novel. It's a bit funny at the beginning, but also very tearful at the end. The sincerity of history brought by the little characters is also a definite texture. The novel is about the obsession of foodie Tang Meng. It is indeed an obsession. The gourmet gourd sauce, the girl Sugar Cane, the cook Gan Tian, the businessman Zhuo Changsheng, and even Tang Meng himself are just ordinary people. Ever since Tang Meng was a child, he had an obsession to "take into account the overall situation". Almost everyone sacrificed because of this "taking into account the overall situation", so Tang Meng joined the game with his own obsession and personally made a contribution to the overall situation. There is family and country, and there are feelings, but I think the most touching thing is the promise and deep care between small people.
Seeing the big from the small has its own original intention. Very good. Start writing from small characters and small objects. This is the style of grammar that people like Cao Xueqin use. Moreover, in Ma Boyong's writings, there is a word between the lines, which is the abstract "justice". Regardless of the twists and turns of the plot, in the end we can still see a cute little character who sticks to his original intention.
I read the fish cooking section accidentally because it was a piece of reading. The geography and humanities knowledge is very rich, and the plot is also very attractive. It is a very good novel and highly recommended. (づ ●─● )づ
It is worthy of being the remake of a TV series with many works. It is really a fine novel. I have not read such high-quality chaff for a long time. The novel echoes back and forth, the content is wonderful, the characters are flesh and blood, full of interest, and the writing has the beauty of prose. The whole story includes all details but does not deviate from the framework of historical facts. I hope this work can also be remade into a TV series
I spent 5 days reading it sporadically. I finally finished it today, and I just feel like I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I found it very enjoyable, as Prince Ma's works are all excellent works; on the other hand, I was deeply moved by the friendship between little people. Tang Meng is a gourmet on the surface, with a generous and lovely personality. In fact, he is very smart, familiar with geography, very logical in analyzing cases, and attaches great importance to emotion and justice. He peeled off the cocoon to find out the truth of the case, and finally cleared the deceased. He was great.
The charm of food hides the bones of heroes, and the ordinary creates legends——Comment on "The Apprentice of the South Eater" A gentleman's promise is as important as Mount Tai! There are no shadows of swords or flashes of swords in the book, but chivalrous and warmheartedness is everywhere. This is not a traditional martial arts, but uses a different style of writing to outline the chivalrous spirit that is more powerful than swords. It allows us to see that small people can also make waves in the long river of history, just like Zhang Qian and Ban Chao before they became famous. Although they were unknown, they had the ambition to rewrite history, and once they set off, they embarked on the road to legend. The protagonist Tang Meng in the book, at first glance, is a complete "foodie". Food runs throughout the book, becoming a unique thread that connects the plot, leading readers to travel between different regions and stories. However, one cannot ignore his extraordinary skills in drawing maps with one hand. In ancient times, this was an ability comparable to "defying the heavens", as if he had mastered the password to the secrets of the world. This skill makes Tang Meng transcend the ordinary and become an indispensable key figure in the story. With food as his guide and the map as his wings, he quietly affects the direction of history. In this story, Zhuo Changsheng and Zhao Tuo cannot be ignored either. Zhuo Changsheng's deep-rooted obsession with his relatives is like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating his path forward and becoming a powerful internal driving force to promote the development of the plot; Zhao Tuo's deep nostalgia for his hometown is like an intricate old tree, rooted in his heart and unwilling to waver. This attachment triggers a series of cause and effect, spreading out like ripples, involving many stories. They may seem ordinary, but because of their emotions and persistence, they have left a strong mark on the stage of history. Everyone in the book is as ordinary as the passers-by around you and me, and they all have their own stories, deep or shallow. But ordinary is by no means synonymous with mediocrity. As shown in the book, there are always some people who, with their inner perseverance, courage and faith, interpret ordinary life with great vigor. "The Eaters of the South" is just such a work. It uses food and little people to write great feelings and legends from a unique perspective. While tasting the food in the book, we also deeply understand the huge energy contained in ordinary people in the torrent of history, inspiring us to bravely pursue that extraordinary light in our own lives.
From the cracks in history, we can glimpse the changes of the times. The decisive moments in history include not only the intrigues between emperors and ministers, but also the struggles of small people and the sighs of the authorities. When all this gathered in the eye of the storm of the times, it set off such a huge wave. It allows us to see the undercurrent of the big picture and be moved by a trace of true feelings.
Food is the most important thing for the people, and this is a novel written by the prince that I like very much, as well as Antique Bureau Zhongju and Chang'an's Lychee. I've been feeling a little down this week due to various things, but it's okay because it has the redeeming power of warming my stomach and heart. I read some when I couldn't sleep, and I gradually felt calmer and calmer. (In fact, the prince's three views should be very upright. Such a stable power makes people calm.) I I am a greedy little cat who wants to taste all the delicacies from all over the world even though it is unrealistic. In addition, I went to Guangzhou to visit the Nanyue King's Tomb Museum and left some very happy and precious memories (hhh, the barbecue grill and hot pot inside are quite novel), so the subject matter of this book really suits me. In addition, the prince's current conception, characterization, plot, rhythm, the combination and conflict of the overall situation of the country and the fate of the small people are all perfect. It was really enjoyable to read it, and I kept thinking that it would be longer.
I have to say that I admire the author's imagination. With his writing skills, the writing is lifelike, especially the description of food and the control of the plot of the characters. The writing is really lifelike, especially the use of food to highlight human nature. It is even more unique. Although the article is short, it is written very concisely and leaves people feeling shocked. Especially the author said at the end that this was obtained from a short paragraph in the history book, and then the story was obtained through continuous expansion. I was deeply shocked by the author's meticulous writing. I suggest that if you like reading these short and medium-sized novels, you can read them carefully. They are really very well written.
There are many loving and righteous people in the world, but there are not many people who are sentimental and righteous and willing to travel over mountains and mountains for love and righteousness. Teacher Ma's story is told from a unique angle every time. It is driven by food and uses two small characters to connect a huge conspiracy. It is also the sympathy between the two small people that makes a fat man with no ambitions become the hero of the reconquest of South Vietnam. I had already imagined Tang Meng's joy when he reunited with Gan Cane, but in the end I shed tears, but Gan Cane's death can prove Lu Jia's viciousness, which is also a logical necessity. It's great, looking forward to the TV series.
Once I was impressed by Prince Ma. At first I saw how fresh and tender a Jiayu was. I moved my index finger and realized that the food on my hand was really sloppy. I continued to look at it angrily. The more I looked at it, the more frightened I became. It was still a small person involved in a big case. Several doubts were solved in the middle, which made me feel quite happy. No spoilers for now. What amazed me the most was that later I saw that Tang Meng had cultivated Yelang Dao, so I checked it out and found that it was actually cultivated by Tang Meng in history. I thought that only people like Zhuang Zhu Dongfang Shuo used their real names. The protagonists Tang Meng, Huang Tong, and Lu Jia were all made up based on historical figures. After all, Orange Water and Lushan were obviously names based on soy sauce. I didn't expect that there were real people in history, and even Goujiang was real. Once again, I admire Prince Ma. I always like historical novels. He is so knowledgeable.
When I was doing high school questions, I chose a passage from this article, and the content of the passage made me addicted to it. Now that I have graduated, after reading this book, I truly feel that this book is the best. Combining the four dimensions of history, literature, food, and detective stories into one book, people are sinking into it just like the wolfberry sauce in the article. In the first half of the article, various characters, things, and sentiments are slowly introduced, and the great unification of the Han Dynasty is encapsulated in a wolfberry sauce with literary ink. It attaches various relationships to the seemingly ordinary wolfberry sauce, and turns the scattered plots around the wolfberry sauce, so that the early rhythm is slow but not chaotic, and numerous but not complicated. The last few chapters are just the right amount of urgency. The continuation of the previous text has been completed, and the following chapters are turned and integrated to wrap up the whole text in a detective style. The foreshadowing in the early stage is integrated, and the mystery of King Wu is transferred to Chengyu and then to Lu Jia. It's beautiful to write an article about food and write an article about food. Several other points make this article even more beautiful. The characters and their histories are not directly described in the article, but like the screen in the Grand View Garden, they are written slowly and covertly, without being abrupt and impressive. Each character has flesh and blood, and the central character is reproduced truthfully. For example, Zhuang Zhu is resolute and courteous, but less strategic. Tang Meng is full of fireworks but has deep plans. The characters are characters. Furthermore, although this article narrates the past events of the Han Dynasty, it still reminds people today of the present. The comparison between the Han Dynasty and South Vietnam, the Republic of China and the Republic of China is inappropriate, but it still makes people think about it. In short, this novel is small in size but large in content. It is really a good book.
I finished reading Ma Boyong's "The Southern Eaters" and have been using it on and off for nearly 2 weeks. It is very enjoyable. Compared with other novels, Prince Ma's historical novels have rigorous logic, full of humor, various reversals, real historical personnel support, reasonable deductions and deductions, using food Shu wolfberry sauce as a clue, using the psychological transformation of a fat man and foodie Tang Meng as a traction, inserting narration and flashbacks to recall various things, connecting the entanglements between the Han Dynasty and South Vietnam, Yelang, Dongyue, etc., And finally completing the great unification. After reading, feast and enjoy!
Very vivid and touching. The whole text is interspersed with wolfberry sauce and food is the starting point. It witnesses the sincere and clean soul of a person who loves food. In order to pursue the righteousness in his heart, he uses the correct values of personal kindness and works hard step by step, regardless of the effort. This is often distorted as the correct world view. He lit up the cold world and warmed the hearts of miserable little people. Everyone asked him what he wanted, and he said it was for the food. Isn't this food the truth? The sincerity started because of food, and the pursuit of justice and commitment started because of food. A series of fateful encounters, etc., Stick to the true heart, which is awe-inspiring. After reading the full text, although it is only a story based on history, it is truly touching. Being impetuous, I originally didn't want to read this kind of article, and thought it would be more relaxed and funny. However, I was attracted little by little and read it in one sitting.
Because of the fireworks and delicious food, I am attracted by it, because of the wanton and open-minded mood, I am nourished by it, and because of the ups and downs of the plot, I am fascinated. This is a corner of history, most of Tang Meng's life, and even more so our present moment. After reading it, I couldn't help but be moved. It is very real. The hardships and twists of life in it, as well as the real skinny feeling, are very painful for Zhuo Changsheng, Gan Ye, and Gan Cane; the choice of country, family, and friendship is very realistic; the balance between the Cheng family, the Lu family, and the timid royal family is very wise. It is also very ideal, with an ideal overall situation, Foolish Old Man moving mountains, and unforgettable thoughts. Zhuang Zhu traveled to various countries with his love and dreams, while Tang Meng opened up a bright road with his unremitting persistence and perseverance. It's so good that it will linger in your mind and taste for a long time
Wow! I really stayed up late to read this book! I can't stop watching. I also learned a lot of new words (check the dictionary again). 😅 While reading this book, I was thinking, when can it be adapted to the screen like "Chang'an Lychee"? The characters in it are so vivid, especially the finale, Tachiga! The most important thing is that after reading the end, I realized that this book has a source, even though the text is only one page. Prince Ma is so awesome! [Like] I can't wait to share it with my good friends. I must recommend this book! Very, very worth seeing!
It's the first time I've seen this kind of novel that uses food as a guide to develop the plot. It's very special. The detailed descriptions of the food are very meticulous, and you can also learn the ancient names of many familiar foods today. The whole text uses small things to see the big things. It seems that "food" is always inseparable from the reality and it is always inseparable from people. I originally thought that the protagonist was just a character made up by the author, but I didn't expect that this person actually existed in history. I admire the author's literary skills and benefited a lot from reading it.
The length is concise among many novels that often reach 1 million words, but the story is compact, with twists and turns, and fascinating. With the addition of delicious food, bizarre stories and people are brought to us one by one. Don't get hung up on the cognition inside. This is a novel based on real history and cannot be divorced from the historical facts at that time. Tang Meng, a man of great wisdom and foolishness, is really full of innocence and wisdom in his heart. Whether he treats the refugee siblings when he was young or how he treats sugar cane as an adult, he is always affectionate and righteous, using material objects as an excuse to do righteous things. What's more, a gentleman makes a promise and spends his whole life to fulfill it. A true gentleman and a real man!
It is wonderful, with food as the main character, and the plot is full of twists and turns. It is also an excellent work among Ma Wangye's books. On the surface it is food, but what I write about is the humanity behind the food.
Reading Ma Boyong's novels is to be able to see the big from the small, to be able to restore the customs and styles of the time from historical scraps, and the writing is sophisticated and concise without being cumbersome. This novel is not just a food article, we can make our mouths water and our appetites whet our appetites from the long descriptions of food; we can also see behind the food the politics of the confrontation between the two countries and the plans between the envoys, and even the complex interests and interpersonal relationships behind it. Food is both delicacy and clue; it is both motivation and cause and effect; it is both culture and metaphor. We can also find the emotional intersection between people, and the characters are not instrumental. Whether it is the loyalty between brothers, the interests between families, or the loyalty to the king, they are all portrayed very delicately by the author. They are not empty historical symbols, but real people who lived in that era. Even in the finale, just because of a wolfberry sauce, this food has opened up the geographical territory of the Han people and paved the way for the pacification of South Vietnam; it is also an emotional bond between families. In the finale, I was given knife after knife, allowing the family to reunite in a way that should be said to be satisfying. "You live at the head of the Yangtze River, and I live at the end of the Yangtze River." This is not a kind of reunion in the river. The whole family is suffering too much. There is also the transformation of the protagonist. From the beginning, he only wanted to follow the trend and live a stable life in the middle way. In the end, he was willing to spend twenty-two years planning for his original obsession, just to open a path and avenge the little girl's family. Tang Meng has no ambitions and is unwilling to make contributions. At the beginning, he only paid for the compassion in his heart instead of the feelings of family and country. In my opinion, it gives this character more human warmth. The narrative from a small person living in a corner to a hero who rewrites history ends perfectly, but in the end his morality will never end. The destruction of a country because of a piece of food is truly a unique event in history. I am also grateful to the author for using his exquisite and interesting writing style to extract the cocoons from the historical records of more than a hundred words, and then reasonably expand them, allowing me to once again understand the unknown history, and also learn about a historical figure I was not familiar with. It is easier for me to remember it than simply reading the biography of a historical figure.
Based on historical facts, through the experience of a petty official who seemed to have a strong appetite for food, he focused on the details, peeling off the cocoons, and connecting all the links. The truth was finally revealed, and he also fulfilled his promise to the little girl. The writing is exquisite. Thumbs up!
I have always attached great importance to sleep, but when I saw that the second half of the novel was so exciting, I couldn't help but stay up late and read the rest at 3 o'clock! Strongly recommend Ma Boyong's "The Disciple Who Eats the South" [Like][Like][Like] First, the characterization of the characters is really distinct. For example: Tang Meng's clear and sharp view of human nature, his sincerity and softness, and his pure love of eating make people admire and love him. A smart, greedy, focused, and quirky fat cat comes to life! ! ! There are also sugarcane, Ganye, Zhuo Changsheng, Huang Tong, Cheng Shui, and Lu Jia, all with distinctive characteristics. Second, it contains many profound meanings. There are the choices of King Wu's loyalty, brotherhood, and family interests; there are the games of political strategists; there are the personal choices of Tang and Meng Zhongyong's "catching fish" for politics and Zhuang Zhu's struggle to build a career; there is the priority of the overall situation or personal interests; there are also descriptions of the tragic fate and sincere feelings of the sugarcane Ganye Zhuo Changsheng family; there are the thoughts of old age and loneliness, the homesickness of the fox dying on the hill, and the leaves falling back to their roots. The third is thinking about the philosophy of life. Tang Meng asked Huang Tong: You gave up so much, what did you get in the end? In addition, I feel again that love is a driving force and the world is a cycle🔄 There are many experiences, which are worth pondering and studying!
Good-looking, delicate writing, rich characters and subsequent ending, It's not just a gourmet trip, but also a life of relief and gratitude. Gratitude to sugar cane and myself for not giving up. Life is a long road, why is it always there? Wei's passion and true heart are reflected in this book as Tang Meng's love for food, his persistence in his original intention, and his willingness to stand up when faced with regrets in life again.
