A very relaxed and refreshing novel. My childhood friend is also a Taoist priest, serving as the abbot of a rural temple with three fellow disciples. They basically spend their days thinking about making money to repair and maintain various things. Being from out of town, they can't compete with local practitioners in the funeral services market.
This is an incredibly long, rambling account of life, depicting the minutiae of daily existence with exquisite detail. The entire book exudes a sense of peace, devoid of any scheming or violence. My favorite line is "making do with what we have." Life is like that: a house, a tree, a flower, a blade of grass, every cicada's song, every solar term—year after year, the same yet different!
A very good Taoist novel, the story unfolds gently, its simplicity imbued with a natural charm. It depicts the everyday life of ordinary people.
Overall it's okay, but there are still some problems; 1. Taoist temple name: Qingcheng Mountain Back Mountain Taoist Temple. I want to ask, which Taoist temple is named "Back Mountain" or "Qingcheng Mountain Back Mountain"? Shouldn't "Back Mountain" be a location? Shouldn't "Qingcheng Mountain" be a place name? Is this a proper Taoist temple name?
The writing style is good; the narrative of mundane life is pleasant to read. However, there are too many repetitive plots, even the dialogues are exactly the same. At the same time points or scenes, the same plots and dialogues appear repeatedly. While life is indeed a daily repetition, the same questions are asked again after being asked once; the same mistakes are made again the following year.
A great book! It tells you what true simplicity and naturalness mean. Past, present, and future, the cycle repeats itself, and everything has its meaning. Some things will always be done by someone, and some truths will always be understood by someone. Whether you were involved or just passing through, looking back, you will have your own judgment.
It's not particularly exciting, but better than other novels on the Tomato platform. However, in my personal opinion, it's just too bland. There's a saying that goes, "It's tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away," but in my opinion, it's tasteless to read and can be thrown away as well.
A group of pure-hearted young Taoist priests; the writing style is also very Taoist.
Could the author please provide the character relationships? 🤦🤦 It looks a bit messy. I can't tell who the senior brothers and sisters are, or their ages. There are too many people, it's all disorganized and hard to sort out.
The author's writing is superb; all the main characters appear at the very beginning, each one vividly portrayed, making the reader remember each character through scene after scene.
