Is the author a professor of Chinese language and literature? It's amazing. I have read many imperial examination papers. This one is unique and entertaining. The knowledge content in the article is very high and the content is extremely rich. Readers will definitely gain a lot if they study it calmly. My energy and level are limited, so I mainly read stories for entertainment. The stories are very novel and very attractive to me. I read more than 300 chapters in one go, so I couldn't help but review it first. In my heart, this book deserves a score of 9.5 Or above, and I plan to go back and read it carefully after I tie it.
The author's writing style is very good and responsible. He also allows readers to understand a lot of ancient imperial examinations and learn some knowledge. The writing is very good, logical and foreshadowing. The male protagonist is not a holy father, and is more realistic. Although he is a bit idealistic, it is normal, which just reflects the true temperament of the male protagonist. The male protagonist and the people around him are very interesting, selfish, and have the characteristics of the times, which is very consistent with the background of the times. In particular, the county magistrate chose to take a shortcut when faced with temptation. This description is very interesting. It is indeed difficult for many people to bear the temptation. The county magistrate took shortcuts but failed. The reaction and actions of the protagonist were more interesting. It truly reflected what human nature is. The male protagonist also knows how to adapt, has no one-mindedness, and hates evil as much as he hates it. There is also the case of "Fake Salt", the protagonist did not report it and chose to conceal it, and the subsequent development further reflects the true temperament of the male protagonist. Overall, it is very good and well written! Big cheers for the author! And hurry up and add more, more, more!
🤔The book is good, but there are too few emotional lines. There must be a cute girl, a naughty nephew, a gambling uncle, a biased grandma, an aunt who dislikes poverty and loves wealth, and she has been engaged since she was a child and came to break off the engagement, haha
From a plot perspective, excellent novels often have fascinating storylines. It can be full of suspense, like a carefully woven web that leaves the reader eager to see what happens next. The ups and downs of the plot can firmly grasp the readers' hearts. From the calm beginning, to the gradual intensification of conflicts, to the final climax and ending, every link is like a carefully planned journey, leading readers through different worlds and situations. Characterization is also a key element of the novel. Successful novels have distinct characters with their own personality traits, dreams, and flaws. These characters seem to really exist in a certain time and space, and their emotions and emotions can resonate with readers. Readers will be worried about the fate of the characters, happy for their growth, and angry for their experiences. The relationships between characters are intricate, whether they are friendship, love, family affection, or hatred. These relationships constitute the inner development of the story. It's been a year and the updates haven't been finished yet! Mr. Pipi supervises updates [angry][angry]
The writing is excellent, the subject matter is very good and it is extremely difficult to write, which shows the author's high literary quality, especially the wine word order. If you pick it up at your fingertips, it must be very scary. Even looking up the dictionary will take a long time. It reminds me of the ancient Gao Shide's gameplay that my teacher said when I was in school: The second son left home when he was young - the boss married a merchant's wife! But because of this, this article may not be very interesting, and because ancient prose is difficult and not suitable for readers, the number of clicks will not be too high! [Funny Modification of Tang Poems] Several scribes held a drinking ceremony at Duojinglou in Beigushan, Zhenjiang, asking everyone to say a wrong line of a Tang poem and then explain the reason with another line of a Tang poem. A: The jade flute is played in the Duojing Tower (Li Bai: The jade flute is played in the Yellow Crane Tower), explanation: The Yellow Crane is gone and will never return. B: One mountain and half outside the blue sky (Li Bai: Three mountains and half outside the blue sky), explanation: Two places are nowhere to be seen. C: The second eldest son left home when he was young (He Zhizhang), explanation: the eldest son married a businessman.
It is very logical and fluent. The classical Chinese writing is also very good, and there are explanations. Fortunately, I have this, otherwise I would not be able to understand some of it. Thank you for the author. I hope the writing will become more and more beautiful [Send my heart][Send my heart][Send my heart]
It's good to read. Although some of the classical Chinese text is incomprehensible, it doesn't affect my enjoyment of reading it. I hope the author will keep this pace and not collapse later. Even if there is a heroine, I hope her career will be the main one and her feelings will be supplemented. She won't be like other novels where she has some romantic talents and shows mercy everywhere.
The writing is rigorous and every word is exquisite. It is a rare protagonist who is not a copycat. The article also contains the author's own thoughts. The author has really worked hard. The perspective of the protagonist is taken in by the reader, but it becomes more and more fragmented in the later stages. The protagonist has grown up, has a gap in his chest, and can deal with conflicts indifferently, but the reader cannot, and feels suffocated. This is a means of pulling emotions, but how long has it been since Fighting the Sky? Emotional pulling is indeed king, but things from decades ago cannot always be used. The refreshing point does not exist independently, and something new can be added.
This novel is great. It is finally not an all-powerful system, but it integrates the ancient education system very well and popularizes common sense about the imperial examination. The author is great, he must be a literature and history major.
Haha, I chose this novel even without a rating [laughing awkwardly] It was really the right choice. It was very interesting to read. The author is very talented and has a good command of ancient prose. I think this is what an imperial examination essay should be like. I am worthy of my friends who like this article. Of course, those of us who read this article must also respect the author who wrote such a beautiful novel - five-star praise and send [heartfelt][heartfelt][heartfelt][heartfelt][heartfelt] Why is such a good article stuck at 9.1 [Crazy][crazy][crazy]
