Flowers bloom and fade, and the sky is filled with flowers~(￣▽￣~)~The first Ming Dynasty immortality novel, the sand sculpture animation and the original work have been watched repeatedly. It is relaxed, humorous and delicate. It has a similar feeling to the one in "Two Thousand Years of Pauper", which is very suitable for getting into. The second one is amazing. It's a traditional fictional historical novel (don't people like to read non-system novels anymore?) It has low popularity and no ratings, but the author's writing and narrative are excellent. After reading a few chapters, I can't stop.

Reader note
First of all, I would like to emphasize that this book has multiple female protagonists, so be careful if you don't like it. Then this book is fictional (but the template is in the Song Dynasty). It uses the emotional line (falling in love with various princesses) and the political strategy as two parallel lines. The author's writing style and knowledge are very good, the plot arrangement (Asura field hehe) is also just right, and the amount of updates (number of words) is very large. It is very interesting to read. One more word, Pig's Feet's IQ is constantly improving with experience. In the early days, it was a bit tricky for him to deal with the relationship with the heroine, but later he handled it very easily in the Kingdom of Jin. In addition, the protagonist is a person who has traveled through the past in a modern society, so he still has a human conscience (but not a virgin) at that time. He is especially gentle to the heroine, so that some people think that the protagonist has no temper. This is a matter of wisdom. I think this temper is very right. He is kind to his family and strict to his enemies.

Reader note
The novel opens directly into the complex political situation of the Qin Dynasty. The protagonist uses the "living king of hell" method to manage politics and constantly fights with all forces. The plots such as the palace coup and the border war are thrilling and tense, and each link quickly catches the reader's attention without any sense of delay. The novel begins with traveling to Cao Ang and "cutting off the Hu Zou family", breaking the traditional narrative of the Three Kingdoms. Select the newly discovered Cao Ang, change his experience, create a new direction within the familiar framework of the Three Kingdoms, and bring a different perspective of the Three Kingdoms. The author breaks through the limitations of the original work, plans the development of Liangshan from the perspective of the reborn, and creates the strongest lineup. The reborn protagonist relies on his understanding of the original work to actively plan and face many challenges together with the heroes of Liangshan. The work combines modern elements with the Stone Age, unfolding with the dramatic plot of "accidentally taking the school beauty to the Stone Age", breaking the conventional setting of traditional time travel and opening up a novel story.

Reader note
Su Dun took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeves, which were densely written with words. "I was in Hangzhou before. I read hundreds of books and found a few pieces of evidence. Not many, just nine." He spread the paper on the old cases next to him, "But I think the direction is right." Su Dun pointed to the first piece and said in a calm tone: "Look at the sentence in "Dayu Mo" that 'the human heart is in danger, the Dao is only small, but the essence is only one, and the Yunzhi Juezhong' is quoted in "Xunzi Jieye Pian", but Xunzi said it was quoted from the "Tao Jing", not the "Shang Shu"." "And 'Yunzhi Juezhong' should come from the Analects of Confucius. Yao said, "The calendar of heaven is in your hands, and if you are willing to hold on to it, the world will be poor, and the fortune of heaven will last forever." "The Analects of Confucius said that 'Shun also ordered Yu', but what Shun said to Yu in "Dayu Mo" is completely different from what Yao said to Shun." "The so-called sixteen words of Yu Ting are simply made up." He raised his head and glanced at everyone, waiting for them to be shocked, excited, or "enlightened" as written in later novels. However - Fan Xun raised his head and said disapprovingly: "Maybe Xunzi remembered it wrong?" Su Dun was stunned. Zhao Mingcheng nodded, with a serious look on his face: "I saw before that "Xunzi·Junzi Pian" quoted "One person is happy, and the people rely on it", and said it was the "Biography"." "Actually, this sentence comes from "Shangshu·Lu Xing"." "The source of this quotation must be misremembered by Xunzi." Su Xingchong also said: "Pre-Qin books are all bamboo slips, and it is not easy to read them. The scholars cited the scriptures and most likely wrote them from memory. Without reading and checking, the words may not be accurate." Su Dun's mouth twitched. Huh? Is there something wrong with your reaction? Too calm? Too rational? Shouldn't we exclaim "Oh my God, this is fake" and then people will be angry and share the same hatred? Why are all of them so... Calm? However, it makes so much sense, I am speechless! Li Qingzhao remained silent, just lowered his head and read the original text copied by Su Dun carefully. She stared at those lines of words for a long time, then suddenly raised her head, with a hint of weirdness in her eyes: "The original text of "Xunzi: Uncovering" is: 'In the past, when Shun ruled the world, everything was accomplished without edicts. When he was in danger, he was full of glory; when he raised a little, his glory was unknown.' Later, he quoted the "Tao Jing": "The danger of the human heart, the weakness of the Taoist heart, and the number of dangers can only be known by a wise gentleman." She looked at Su Dun with a strange light in her eyes - a look that doubted her IQ: "You don't think it's the same sentence just because 'the human heart is in danger, the Tao's heart is weak' and 'the human heart is in danger, the Tao's heart is weak' are very similar?" Su Dun was displeased and replied stiffly: "These two sentences are exactly the same, how come they are not plagiarism?" "But the meanings of these two sentences are completely different!" Li Qingzhao talked eloquently: "Xunzi first said that Shun was 'in danger' and 'nurturing the subtlety' - this means that Shun advocated using a single-minded heart to explore the subtle principles of things." "Then he quoted the "Tao Jing" that "the human heart is in danger, the Tao heart is subtle". He quoted the sentence from the "Tao Jing" in order to explain the 'danger' and 'micro' of Shun earlier." "The key point of this sentence is in the last sentence - 'The number of dangers is small, only a wise gentleman can know it'. It is talking about the 'ji' (sign) between 'danger' and 'micro', which only a 'wise gentleman' can detect." She paused, and spoke in a clear voice: "But the key point of the sixteen words of "Dayu Mo" is also at the end, 'Wei Jing Wei Yi, Yu Zhi Ju Zhong', which means to use the 'Jing Yi' skill to 'Zhi Zhong'." "The themes and philosophies of the two sentences are fundamentally different. One talks about detecting signs, and the other talks about adhering to the middle way." "Just because these eight characters are somewhat similar, do you say it is plagiarism?" Fan Wei continued: "Even if it is plagiarism, it may be that the Dao Jing copied Dayu Mo, and then was recorded as the Dao Jing. There are too many such things." He thought for a while and gave an example: "For example, the sentence 'Without indifference, one cannot achieve clear aspirations, without tranquility, one cannot reach far', which comes from "Huainanzi Zhushu Xun" of the Western Han Dynasty. More than three hundred years later, Zhuge Liang quoted it in "The Book of Commandments", and now everyone thinks it was Zhuge Liang who said it." "There is also 'the courage to be big but the heart to be small, the wisdom to be round but the action to be square', which also comes from "Huainanzi Zhushu Xun", Sun Simiao quoted it, and now everyone thinks it is Sun Simiao's words." Zhao Mingcheng added: "This is also the case in "Xunzi" itself. The section about three years of mourning in "Xunzi: Rites", from "Three years of mourning, what" to "It is the same in ancient and modern times", the entire paragraph was included in the "Book of Rites" and became the "Three Years Questions"." "Now when people quote these sentences, they must think that they come from the "Book of Rites", and not from "Xunzi"." Su Xingchong also nodded: "As for what Yao said when he surrendered to Shun, it is different from what Shun said when he surrendered to Yu. Isn't it strange?" "Two generations of holy kings faced different world situations, so they naturally had different things to say." Su Dun was confused by everyone's words and words. Didn't those books of later generations say that the "Sixteen-Character Heart Biography" was the core evidence for Yan Ruochu's falsification of "Gu Wen Shangshu"? Didn't it mean that as soon as this piece of evidence came out, the Neo-Confucianists were speechless? How come you can't even convince a few seven- and eight-year-old children here?

The writing style is definitely up to the mark, with strict logic and rigorous research. The most important thing is that it presents the structural problems of the late Ming Dynasty, and also points out the problems of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, and very bravely tries to give its own answers instead of evading with blank spaces. The first book is currently being serialized, and the narrative is very mature, with both the coldness of machinations and the excitement of the battlefield. The author really has the intention to express his thoughts and pursuits, and is not just writing randomly.
