I think the author's writing touched me quite a lot - it made me gradually have murderous intention towards Brother Che and the entire Han Dynasty. I don't know when it became popular on romance channels to write dog-licking stories about famous emperors of the dynasty. Originally, as a dog of Brother Hazheng and Brother Che, I naturally looked for meal replacements everywhere. As a result, not only did I not get the chance, but I also received various plot ideas. The hardest hit area is the Qing Dynasty novel. In order to truly express the bitterness of the harem women, the emperor's teddy is no longer avoided, but directly written. After reading Brother Che in this article, in my mind he has become a man who goes around in heat, is extremely selfish, cold-blooded, ruthless, thick-skinned, smart and cunning, and the more I read about him, the more murderous he becomes. I still remember reading an article about Ha Zheng Ge. At the beginning, the heroine met the young Zheng Ge, and was almost killed by the young Zheng Ge for no reason. However, she knelt down and begged for mercy with a very dog-licking attitude, and licked the whole story for more than ten chapters. I don't understand why this is the case. We have obviously experienced ideological enlightenment, so why do we still criticize representatives of backward patriarchy like this? It is obvious that they have mixed success and failure, and they have always had many bad roots in human nature. Isn't this instinctive obedience to power or authority? Speaking of this article, I can feel the author's inner agitation and division. On the one hand, the author wants to express the true human nature and the pain of the harem women as much as possible. On the other hand, the author also wants to find out whether there is really warmth and light in it. And at the end of this article, a philosophical sublimation is given. In fact, Brother Che here is a political animal and careerist through and through, rather than a truly great man. This kind of monster alienated by power will not change its nature unless the soil where it grows is completely destroyed. This is the tragedy of the old centralized feudal monarchy. Wu Han wrote at the beginning of his essay on the history of the Ming Dynasty that we must first understand a concept, the concept of country. History says that a dynasty has perished and a country has perished, but has the country really perished? The answer is no. The subjugation of the country written in the history books is only the demise of those families that established their own dynasties with one family name. But the people who make up this country and this nation are still there, and the land is still there. China has never been destroyed. Therefore, Brother Zheng, Brother Che, Brother Shimin, Brother Zhu Baba, and Mr. Kang are all just part of this country and nation. They cannot represent the glory of the entire Chinese people. Why should modern people be treated like licking dogs when they write a happy history novel? To be honest, this article by the author is the most aggrieved I have read among all the romance stories Xiang Shi Tongli has written. I am so aggrieved to death. I think there should be another version of this article, that is, the version in which Brother Che was killed. Because the more I watched, the less I could control my murderous intent. He is obviously a hungry ghost in lust, but because he has power, and this power is tied to the reproduction of blood relatives of a family, it is reasonable to go around in heat and harm people, and the heroine has to help in order to survive. A dynasty with one family name, a vested interest in the system, an absolute strong man, unscrupulously using the power in his hands to make the lives of his subordinates worse than death. This is what I see the heroine in this article suffering. She has been compromising and even deceiving herself, because with her strength and limitations, she can only do this if she wants to survive. The heroine even failed to cheat on her. In the end, he still guarded his offspring. I really want to jump in and install a golden finger to kill Brother Che and then usurp the Han Dynasty and establish my own political power. Furthermore, I recently read some books about why China lags far behind the West in modern history. Essentially, there is no need and no motivation. Because fertile soil does not nourish courage, the richer people are, the more they cherish their feathers and desperately protect the old system from dying out. It took the entire Western world the entire Qing Dynasty to crush China. Over the past few hundred years, there have been many opportunities to not fall behind, but these patriarchal beetles deliberately gave up development for the selfishness of human nature and their excessive greed for power, and they were also very arrogant. From this point of view, in terms of expanding territory, this part of Brother Che's actions was still right, which alleviated my murderous intention towards him. Why not develop production or improve technology? I don't know. At that time, many new grain varieties had been introduced to feed a larger population. However, the problem was that the land was so big and more and more children were born, but there were no new economic growth points. So wouldn't involution eventually benefit the solidified top rentier class? The development in the infrastructure literature ranges from small workshops to large factories. The final outcome is that machines replace people, and a large number of landless farmers rise up to resist and overthrow the old system. China has more people than anything else, so China's kings are particularly afraid of landless peasants, which fundamentally destroys the small-scale peasant economy. So especially in our country, it is impossible to reach industrial society peacefully (history has also proved this), and no compromise is possible. Because China has essentially achieved the highest level of production organization form, it must match the most advanced production system. Because the power at the top of the old empire was too concentrated and there were too many people at the bottom. Therefore, the logic of many infrastructure documents is problematic. Developing technology may not necessarily get the support of those in power. Any smart emperor will definitely understand that, so if you want to develop technology and engage in infrastructure, you will commit suicide. Unless you are the superior one. Improved and improved grains seem to feed more people and make the people grateful, but in fact they strengthen the power of the emperor and allow the people's descendants to be like dogs for longer. That's too far. After reading this article, I can only say that I feel completely uncomfortable. I also feel that many people, including myself, have for a long time transformed themselves and some figures in history into people of one country. Not at all. The interests of these people are absolutely in conflict with the interests of me, a small commoner. Why should I be a licking dog for him and compromise under his rules in his harem? Then he gradually developed murderous intention. I feel that the author was very entangled in the end and felt that he could not give a perfect ending in the true sense, because the tragedy of the heroine is essentially a tragedy of the system and human nature. But it still gave a relatively ideal ending. The heroine in this article has such a strong mentality... I think she can endure this, and she is no worse than Zhu Baba. She can definitely kill Brother Che with some cheats... My evaluation of Zhu Baba is that he is a real tragedy of the system, but my evaluation of some emperors is that they can die if they can, so don't be soft-hearted. The author might as well be bolder, at least in the text, I really really want to see the male protagonist be killed.
In my opinion, leaving is really the best choice, and it is also a dream that transcends reality. Do Liu Che and Jiaojiao really have love? Liu Che fell in love with Jiaojiao, a false persona tailor-made for him. The ending of the first life made Jiaojiao afraid of falling in love with Liu Che and she was always on guard. Jiaojiao's running away allows her to understand and improve herself and find more value and fun in life, instead of staying where she is and getting things she doesn't want.
First, the reborn Gillian and Wei Zifu are not female rivals. What they compete for is not male love but interests themselves. The two are both political enemies, but at the same time they also have a heroic sympathy for each other. The author has successfully restored the complexity and tension of the two women as "human beings". If we blindly attribute all competition between women to female competition, this generalized accusation is neither accurate nor proper criticism of the patriarchal society. On the contrary, this makes women shoulder new moral shackles in addition to being the weakest gender in society. Secondly, is Chen Ajiao bullying Wei Zifu? Of course, this is the cruelty of class. But it would be naive and hypocritical to accuse those in authority of why they are not kind. Smart politicians have always pursued effective power bullying: uniting the strong to suppress the weak. Therefore, this is also why Chen Ajiao wants to take advantage of the Wei family. Because relatives are the essence of the decline of the Chen family and the rise of the Wei family. Third, why must the target of bullying be Wei Zifu? Rather than being malicious towards Wei Zifu himself, the more likely reason is that the author encountered great obstacles in how to deal with the relatives of the Wei family. Behind this involves a long-standing debate between the heroic view of history and the people's view of history, that is, without Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, could Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty have succeeded in fighting the Huns? Obviously, the author finally chose the heroic view of history. What I am more confused about is the author's obsession and entanglement with Chen Ajiao's fertility problem. In addition, since the author has already let Chen Ajiao run away from the golden house, why does he need to reiterate his love for Liu Che in the extra chapter? Under imperial power, people were alienated. The love between Chen Ajiao and Liu Che is the result of alienation. Regardless of whether there really is a utopia outside the golden house, Gillian's fantasy of this love still trapped her until her death. Awakening but not fully awake, freedom is so hard to find. Well.
I read the physical book a long time ago, and I found it on Jinjiang, so I came to fill it in again. I used to wonder whether Ah Cuo was the daughter of Liu Che and Gillian, and I tried my best to find evidence between the lines. It seemed that if I found the answer yes, it would mean that they actually loved each other and they had no regrets. Looking at it now, I think, no matter what, Gillian said this, Ah Cuo said this, Liu Che will believe it, at least he will definitely tell himself to believe it. Only in this way can Liu Che explain that "Gillian loves me very much, even if she says she does not regret leaving me." It may sound mindless, but (in my opinion) for men, being willing to continue their offspring is a manifestation of love. It's a bit sad, but I think it's deserved. It's an open-ended episode anyway, so I decided that Gillian lived a comfortable life and met many beautiful boys. Finally, she gave birth to her own daughter and decided to let her enjoy more wealth and love.
After reading it for the second time, I feel that many settings are very similar to the imperial concubine. Gillian worked harder than Xiaoxun in the first half of her life, but later she was happier than Xiaoxun. She finally walked out, but Xiaoxun never left the Forbidden City until his death.
Jiaojiao is suffering from depression. If she doesn't leave, she will either go crazy or die in pain in the palace.
Gillian really has no reason to live anymore, so people in middle age can still understand the importance of raising children. It's like living a new life and seeing the world from a child's perspective. . . But we are much better. We can go out to see the world and make friends. Gillian is really trapped in that world. . . I was very tired of reading this article. Except for the spiritual resonance with Gillian in her previous life, the heroine has been lonely all her life. Neither her mother nor her husband can talk to her about everything, so who else is there? The children, brother and father were even strangers. In fact, Empress Dowager Dou was somewhat affectionate, but the highlights of Empress Dowager Dou's life were too long ago. . . . Gillian is really miserable, she might as well have been a queen who gave up without favor in her previous life. . . . . Gillian sees everything so clearly that she doesn't dare to hope too much. Everything is being calculated. There is no hope for living. It's really not good for people to understand things too thoroughly. However, Liu Che is the only emperor in history who has such a childhood sweetheart. Gillian has been tied up with Liu Che too much in her life. After all, she still lacks herself.
Ah Cuo's last part was so touching. She grew up to be what Gillian wanted.
It is difficult to judge the right or wrong of any detail in life. We are an insignificant footnote to our destiny. Chen Jiao has been keen on fighting against fate step by step throughout her short life, and she clearly sees that there is no right or wrong in the fight, only endless consumption and endurance. She felt that leaving the arena to pursue happiness was the way out, so she tried and overturned her assumptions about happiness over and over again with the depth and patience she had developed through fighting. She grew up very quickly during this process, and she completely broke free from the constraints of right and wrong, winning and losing. It is powerful enough for a person to do this. However, maybe every pursuit is a false proposition - what she wants seems to be in her palm at the beginning, but if she closes her palm it will slip through her fingers. She has gone through decades of planning and fulfillment, in fact, in order to see clearly in the cannibalistic environment: Chen Jiao is not anyone's vassal, she is just herself. Chen Jiao is unfortunate: her lover was limited by the times and sorry for her, her relatives and friends supported her and used her, her past life shaped her but could not give her a guide to life, and even when she gained the happiness of true freedom, looking back, she had no other choice to love and miss other than these people. But Chen Jiao does not feel that she is unfortunate: she learned from her previous life to have a passion for life that meets her survival needs but not too much. She does whatever comes to her mind. She is good at planning and she does not like regrets.
This is the true historical unity, which is separated from history but not in history. Touched. Jpg
