From the book, I saw the reflection of the charm of the imperial examination and the reality. The male protagonist is not arrogant and knows the world but not the world. The imperial examination system played an important role in Chinese history, and novels written on this background always have a unique charm. This imperial examination novel is really exciting, beautiful and realistic. The novel depicts a grand scene of ancient scholars striving hard for their dreams of imperial examinations. The author delicately portrays the male protagonist, a young man from a rural family who has great ambitions and is determined to change the fate of his family through the imperial examination. This image is very three-dimensional. We can see the shadow of countless scholars in ancient times from his daily hard study life and desire for knowledge. The description of the imperial examination is a highlight of the book. From preparing for the imperial examination to all the details in the examination room, such as grinding ink and being nervous when answering papers, the whole process unfolded in front of me like a lifelike picture. This detailed portrayal of the imperial examination made me feel like I was in that era, and I could truly feel the significance of the imperial examination to the ancients. Moreover, the interpersonal relationships involved in the imperial examination were also very complex. The male protagonist makes friends with each other on his way to school, and he also has classmates who bully others. The descriptions of these interpersonal relationships truly reflect the way people get along with each other in real life. In terms of advancing the plot of the novel, the author cleverly sets up dangerous yet reasonable plots. For example, the hero's hometown suddenly encountered war and was fleeing from famine, and his family faced tremendous pressure, but he still had firm faith and kept moving forward. There will also be situations where he has to bow his head, and the wisdom and perseverance he shows when facing these difficulties are admirable. Such a plot not only enriches the content of the novel, but also allows the protagonist's character to continue to grow and mature through tempering. In a practical sense, although this novel is set in the ancient imperial examination, many elements contained in it are also applicable to modern society. It is not difficult for us to see that the protagonist's struggle is like the process of modern students constantly fighting for their dreams. The imperial examination symbolizes the opportunity to change destiny. Modern students work hard for their future through college entrance examinations, various vocational examinations, etc., And they are all on the road to pursuing their dreams to some extent. However, the novel is not perfect. Some plots lack logical coherence. For example, the male protagonist's third sister left during the escape, which was slightly abrupt without sufficient foreshadowing. But overall, this imperial examination novel is still a rare masterpiece. It uses vivid plots to take us through the changes in the imperial examination era, allowing us to gain some insights while reading the story. It is not only a novel with ancient themes, but also a spiritual reading that can inspire people to be positive and pursue their dreams in reality. Update, update, update! Say important things three times
Yes, it's rare that it's not those brainless articles that are worth three or six yuan. Other famous works are very valuable, but the progress is a bit slow.
I've rated it as equal, it looks good, it's real, it's real when you see it. I saw someone in the comment area saying that they should be called Hypocritical Me and the Six Cows and Horses Sisters? Is it right that the male protagonist has to take over all the sisters so that they can't do any work? He doesn't have any golden fingers. Isn't it enough that ordinary people can work hard to get merit and then win over his brother-in-law's family? Although his sisters have been working all the time, their lives are much better than those of the girls in other families. Moreover, their lives have been changing with the change of the male protagonist's status, and they have not been left behind. You must know that the value played by his sisters has always been replaceable. I think this book is very good, very real, and the male protagonist does not have a harem. I am very satisfied with it.
Just finished watching it, it's very interesting. I originally thought that the protagonist would take the imperial examinations and then become an official, but I saw that there must be other arrangements here. In fact, it is quite good, not so cookie-cutter, and the biggest advantage of this book is that the personality of each character is very fully described (except for the little transparent ones such as the fourth, fifth, and sixth). I prefer Jin Bao in it. They all have their own thoughts and characters, and the reading is very close to life. And the protagonist is also well written, an ordinary person who is neither indecisive nor cruel, which is good👍. There is not too much Long Aotian, and the plot is also very reasonable.
It's good-looking, and a rare good article in the imperial examination for peasants. The story is well-written, interesting, and the characters are well-written. The author's writing style is very good, the narrative is logical, and the reading process is very comfortable and I can't stop [Like] Before the inexplicable marriage of the male protagonist, this novel is worthy of five stars. But the author came up with a confusing plot about recruiting a son-in-law from a wealthy family, a sick man marrying a young man, and an unknown amount of affection, which cost him two stars. The daughter of a high-ranking family knew that she would not live long and could not have children, so she used her power to marry the only son of the Zhang family. If men and women were swapped, it would be a marriage that would destroy other people's lives. There really is no positive meaning. This inexplicable marriage that the author forced to give peace and the pale and infatuated character are simply a huge failure of the entire novel.
Throughout the book. Reality has no sense of distance. Talented people are in the minority, and hard work is the norm. The full text shows that hard work in reading is more important than talent, which is closer to the reality of hard work. The writing is delicate and engaging. The protagonist's hard work before the exam, his exhaustive thoughts in the exam room, the happy news, the interpersonal relationships between teachers and friends, and the reserved and responsible character. The writing style is detailed and true, and the writing is full of flowers. The plot is outstanding and distinctive. Unlike the traditional imperial examination essays, official essays or cool essays, the whole book is about personal life during childhood, studying, fleeing, imperial examinations, marriage... It is true to the contemporary times but with a bit of absurdity. The plot has ups and downs, the writing is profound and simple, and the timeline is complete. Summary: A good book, worth reading! ! !
The writing is detailed but not trivial. In the first dozen chapters, the protagonist's father and mother's temperaments are fully described. They are hard-working and capable, with some cleverness of their own, and are not just tools. The other elders in the family and the maternal grandparents are also well portrayed. Even the elders with flaws are not the best relatives with facial makeup. They all have their own little people's wisdom. The novel also has some small flaws, but the flaws are not concealed.
Well, the characterization is so perfect and real. The author's character and outlook are very upright, and the character image and conduct of the male protagonist created are so perfect. It is very real, life-like and worldly, and it is worthy of five-star recommendation. The shortcoming is that it feels that the macro-shaping ability of the big map is lacking. At present, the male protagonist's family has been wandering around one-third of an acre in front of his house. There is a feeling that I have been accumulating strength and have not yet left the novice village. I hope that the plot of the male protagonist's career will really unfold later, and I look forward to starting a magnificent struggle for hegemony in troubled times. However, judging from the author's current writing skills, I feel that this aspect will be the author's shortcoming. Mainly because the partial description is so perfect. And there are a lot of pitfalls buried in the early stage. At the current speed, it will be very long to write it all, and it will be easy to collapse the big plot. Or it's like keeping a running account. Or you are afraid that the content will be thin. A simple ending, I hope the author will continue to work hard in the later period and be able to surprise in Tomato.
9 Points should be said to be well deserved, the writing is very good. It's just that I'm too tired these days and want to read something exciting. However, this book is too detailed and the plot progresses slowly, so I will save it for now and read it again later.
It is a very realistic imperial examination essay. In fact, I have read too many imperial examination essays, but I don't like the so-called cool essays that are full of routines. Moreover, the characterization is also good, the human emotions and sophistication in it are very realistic, and the author's writing skills are good. I have been reading this article in my spare time for a week, and I found the latest one here. I urged for an update [I almost cried]
