   The posthumous title system states, "A ruler renowned for his benevolence and virtue is called Xuan." This emphasizes that a monarch is famous throughout the land for his benevolence and good governance. However, historically, even emperors like Xuanzong could not escape the cycle of decline that begins in history. What if a nobody within the modern system were to transmigrate into the body of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, about to be enthroned by eunuchs as the "Great Zhongzhi Era"? How would he save the declining Tang Empire and escape the historical cycle of decline? (Author's self-recommendation)

    Xu Dali unfolded the document, which read: "Trademark Registration Application. The applicant is Ding Youan, a native of Qinghe, Shandong, residing at the intersection of the western section of Zishi Street and Banbian Alley in Qinghe County. He hereby applies for the removal of the signboard, text, and graphic description of his shop, 'Ding Youan Thirteen Spices Braised Meat':..." The text "Ding Youan Thirteen Spices Braised Meat" was in bold Song typeface, and the graphic was a seal with the name "Ding Youan" carved in seal script, placed before the text. This constitutes a trademark. "Once a trademark is applied for, it is protected by the laws and regulations of the Great Song Dynasty. No one may use it without the written authorization of the trademark holder; infringement will be prosecuted." Xu Dali stroked his beard, chuckled, and thought: This is probably Wu Da's idea again. He asked, "Ding Youan, what do you need me to do with this application?" "Lord Xu, you need to stamp this application for confirmation and file it at the county government office," Old Ding said. Upon hearing this, Xu Dali turned to look at Wu Da. Wu Da, understanding, added, "Master Xu, the purpose of trademark registration is fourfold: First, to facilitate consumer brand recognition and shopping, laying the foundation for creating a renowned brand; second, after trademark registration, it serves as proof that goods can be sold in other regions; third, the trademark registrant possesses exclusive trademark rights, protected by law, deterring others from counterfeiting, otherwise, they can be sued for infringement and receive economic compensation; fourth, trademarks are intangible assets, their value can be assessed, and their value can be realized through transfer, licensing, or pledging. This facilitates the circulation of goods, orderly operation, and encourages everyone to register trademarks to create branded goods. Customers will perceive trademarked goods as more reliable, making it easier to gain their trust. Once a trademark is effectively registered, it can maintain a stable market presence, expand sales volume, maintain a good reputation, and become a well-known trademark." Xu Dali was momentarily stunned by Wu Da's eloquent explanation. Wu Da's words were so peculiar, each point interconnected, full of philosophical implications.

    Recommended high-quality historical fiction about time travel to the Ming Dynasty. Also known as "The Great Ming: I Really Just Want to Lie Down," "Hongwu: Your Majesty, I'm Ill," "The Great Ming Attending Physician," and "The Great Ming Sea-Suppressing King." Zhang Wuxian, a 36-year-old failed entrepreneur, time-travels to the eleventh year of the Hongwu Emperor's reign, becoming a 20-year-old spirited young man. He initially wanted to live a carefree life, but his severe obsessive-compulsive disorder prevented him from seeing anything "unreasonable"—wrong grain prices had to be changed, backward medical care had to be changed, the weak army had to be changed, and even if the Ming Dynasty didn't conquer the world, it had to be changed. Even more outrageous, he had a system in his head that automatically provided solutions and resources whenever his obsessive-compulsive disorder flared up, all free of charge. Thus—he saved the critically ill Crown Princess Chang, and Chang Yuchun's daughter survived; he vaccinated the eldest grandson of the emperor, Zhu Xiong Ying, and the child who should have died at the age of eight was alive and kicking; he gave Empress Ma an IV drip to save her when she was critically ill, and Zhu Yuanzhang's most beloved woman lived for another twenty years; he diagnosed Zhu Biao's terminal illness in advance, and the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not die young. With these four men alive, the history of the Ming Dynasty was completely rewritten—the Jianwen Emperor was gone, the Jingnan Rebellion was over, and the Lan Yu case was a thing of the past. Empress Ma adopted him as her godson, calling him "this is my son" to everyone she met; Zhu Biao and Zhu Di addressed him as brothers, one calling him "my virtuous brother" and the other "brother-in-law"; Xu Da offered his daughter in marriage to him, making him the son-in-law of the Duke of Wei; Lan Yu regarded him as his savior, even taking a knife for him in court. Zhu Yuanzhang patted him on the shoulder and said, "The most diligent person I've ever met is you." Zhang Wuxian replied tearfully, "Your Majesty, I'm not diligent... I'm ill!" Later, he led Zheng He to conquer the Iwami Silver Mine, crossed the Pacific Ocean to discover the Americas, and planted the Ming Dynasty's flag all over the world. On the day the Ming Dynasty unified the world, he could finally retire. But a tree in the courtyard was planted crookedly...
