11 欲 Desire to Ascend to the Ninth Heaven Reading Mo and Listening to the WindHistorical2.3M WordsOngoing 408Reads5.8Score—Shelves

Reader note

When you open "Desire to the Ninth Level of the Clouds", you will read not only intrigues and wars, but also an imaginary epic of civilization. The nine-layer layout of Tianque City coincides with the ancient theory of "nine layers of heaven". From the outer city to the palace, it progresses layer by layer, and each layer carries the order and symbol of the dynasty. When the emperor ascends the throne, he needs to walk up from the lowest level and select objects from each level to announce to the world. This is not a simple ceremony, but the embodiment of the political philosophy of "the people are the foundation of the country". The book's depiction of the official system, etiquette, imperial examinations, and clan systems can be seen everywhere in the shadow of traditional Chinese governance wisdom. Chang Sun Jing's words, "If you want to reach the ninth level of the clouds, people will only find it difficult and difficult again." This expresses the difficulty of class transition in the eyes of the ancients, and also echoes the loneliness and persistence of reformers in the past. From the tribal alliance to competing in the world, the protagonist is practicing the ancient motto of "stepping up the stairs slowly" at every step. This is not a simple and refreshing article, but a picture immersed in the genes of Chinese civilization - etiquette and human relations, systems and contingencies, destiny and personnel, all in it.

The best historical novel I've ever read! The author has a rigorous textual research style. I don't know how much information he consulted before he presented the three-dimensional history before our eyes! The age, official position, and hobbies of the minor characters in the book all correspond to those in the history books. The minor allusions in the book are all from "Hanshu" and "Zuo Zhuan". The poems in the book are all appropriate and accurate quotations from "The Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci". The key is to be logical, not brainless or systematic, a truly good book!

Reader note

The story is about a man who frequently acquires a son-in-law and counterattacks. It can barely be regarded as half a plot to usurp power. The setting is fictitious but real. The male protagonist is not cheating because he was sent to get married because of his family background. The male and female protagonists are both strong, suspicious of each other and have similar interests. They are not lickers or love-minded. The supporting characters have their own personality choices and can counterattack little by little on their own. The writing style is brisk and not boring.

Shen Lie led the army on an expedition to Europe, overcoming obstacles along the way, clearing roads through mountains and building bridges over water. In order to ensure the passage of the army, he personally built classical Chinese stone bridges one after another. The cornice-style bridge railings, rounded arch holes, and exquisite mortise and tenon structure are completely different from the native European bridge styles. They are simple and full of Chinese ingenuity. The local people had never seen such a strange bridge, and they hated and feared this invincible Eastern army. They just felt that such ingenious construction was beyond ordinary people, so they called these Chinese-style stone bridges Devil's Bridge, which has been passed down from generation to generation. Thousands of years later, Han Chinese tourists traveled to Europe and accidentally encountered these ancient bridges that have survived to this day. Looking at the familiar Chinese-style bridge body, mortise and tenon structure and covered bridge shape, they felt a strong sense of intimacy in their hearts. They stopped and marveled. They felt that the scenery before them seemed familiar, and they couldn't help but marvel. However, they did not know that these were the marks of civilization left by Eastern soldiers in foreign countries during their Western expeditions thousands of years ago.

I recommend "Spring Comes to Jiangnan Flowers Bloom". The protagonist traveled to the late Southern Song Dynasty, made friends with Wen Tianxiang, helped Jia Sidao defend Ezhou, fought fiercely with Kublai Khan, and established a new style of school. Later, the protagonist was demoted from Lin'an. After the demise of the Song Dynasty, he rescued Wen Tianxiang and began his own road to hegemony. The first half of the article does not jump out of history, and is more intellectually interesting. The second half of the article is about the passionate struggle for world hegemony, which is worth reading.

From then on, he started a happy life of farming, raising soldiers, conquering the world, and picking up girls when he had nothing to do. There is no system.
