    I don't care if it's a classic or not, I just like this one! The novel "Xie Junxing": It begins with the absurdity of the Half-Tang (Sugar) era. Tang Banzong, Wei Xiaozheng, Tang Xiaozang, Hou Yi, Sun Ashi, Song Yixian, Wang Xiaoshun, Zhan Le, etc. All appear. Tao reflects all kinds of things in the world, but also adds modern elements. It's simple but also has new interest. It's definitely a super humorous work!
