The Moon Awakens over the River's Heart

What is your impression of ancient Egypt, one of the four ancient civilizations? Mummy? Pyramid? The Sphinx? This novel, like a quietly resurrected mummy, shows the world the charm of that ancient civilized country, a period of history that is not widely known. The author walks the line between reality and mystery, with both factual basis and bold imaginative creation, as well as unique writing style. Some novels have gorgeous words but poor descriptions, so they are empty. This novel is gorgeously written and accurately depicted, and the characters sketched out in every stroke instantly jump off the page. Before reading this novel, I knew very little about Egypt, and I didn't know about the Queen of Egypt, but I think it must be very difficult for any country to be the first, the first, and the first person. I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to see and understand through a novel. Ancient kings did not need perfection or much kindness. What they needed more was to protect their country. Throughout the novel, the relationship between the two protagonists progresses very delicately, unobtrusively, and step by step. From suspicion to contempt to curiosity to approach to attraction, every step is smooth. If the heroine Xia Yuebai traveled back to ancient Egypt 3,000 years ago and had a shocking love affair with the queen, then this novel allows readers to have a love affair with the ancient and mysterious ancient Egyptian civilization!

It has been 9 years since I last read this article. I was still a junior high school student at that time, and I didn't understand the deep emotions described in this article. It was also difficult for me to resonate deeply with the plot of the collision of history, geography and culture. I was just moved by Qiu Jingjue's writing style, especially the environmental depictions that used scenery to set off the mood. Secondly, I was also attracted by a strange world that I had never been exposed to - ancient Egypt. So many years later, even though I I forgot the names of the protagonists, the stories surrounding them, and the title of the book, but there are still a few keywords in my mind: museum, time travel, Anubis, Hittite, Egypt. These keywords always flash back several times a year. When I come into contact with Egypt-related novels, film and television works, and characters, they suddenly pop up from the depths of my memory, urging me to retrieve this article. What's interesting is that I'm pretty sure what I was reading was a Lily novel, but the most profound impression I had on this novel was that there was a very handsome and dazzling god Anubis in it. Over the years, I have had the idea of traveling to Egypt from time to time, which can be largely attributed to this novel. It is like a key to my desire to explore ancient Egypt. The mysterious and heavy historical picture of ancient Egypt is slowly unfolded in front of my eyes, including palaces, temples, gold and silver. The pyramids, the Nile, the tombs of the pharaohs... Everything was so new to me that I later read some other ancient Egyptian novels one after another, trying to regain the feeling I had when I read this novel, and trying to piece together the fragments of ancient Egypt scattered in my mind, but it was all in vain. When I was sorting through my collection of novels a few days ago, I suddenly discovered this article. The moment I saw the introduction, I realized that I had finally found this article that I had been thinking about. So I quickly put down everything I was doing, picked up this article and read it again. Sure enough, the growth of experience can bring people completely different feelings. Even if I see the same text, my thoughts and ideas are different from the first. My eyesight has become sharper. I can detect the foreshadowing laid in the previous text very early, and I can also predict the direction of the following text with just a few words of description. This is something that I could not do when I was young. But the more this happens, the more I admire Qiu's writing style and plot design, weaving a huge narrative into a complete and beautiful picture. Every stitch of writing must be carefully considered. It is not easy to be able to absorb the weight of the early stage in the later stage of the article. This shows that Qiu has a detailed outline arrangement as early as the beginning of writing. Even the ending of the extra chapter can echo the ending of the main text. It is really excellent. As a junior high school student, I didn't pay much attention to the structural arrangement of the whole article. I just felt that the article looked very comfortable and no part of it felt abrupt. Although every adolescent child longs for passionate and wanton love, and likes to read articles that express love intuitively and strongly, and will always talk about it for the rest of their lives, I surprisingly did not feel disgusted with the slowness of this article, or rather , although I didn't realize it at the time, but after reading it again, I am very sure that the love between Xiaobai and Pharaoh in this article is not strong and wanton, but a huge whirlpool hidden under the calm sea, which will swallow the reader up if he is not careful. Qiu said that this article was slow to develop, but in fact it was only slow to develop in their forbearance and restrained expressions, and their feelings for each other had long preceded their reservations, spreading their teeth and claws in the air, setting off huge waves. In addition to the new feelings about the emotional line, after reading the article again, I am still not satisfied with the war line in it. Qiu's article is the most realistic, intense and cruel depiction of war, tactical arrangements and battlefields among all the articles I have read so far. The desolation and pain in it are beyond the comprehension of a junior high school child. It's no wonder that I have almost no impression of the war line, because I can't understand it at all, and it's so confusing that I naturally won't pay attention to it. The wars of aggression and defense in the Cold Weapon Age were extremely simple and primitive. Three parts depended on strategy and seven parts depended on blood and sweat. The victory that countless soldiers piled up with their bodies was too cruel and ruthless. Although in this article, this cruelty is slightly downplayed by the appearance of miracles, we can still get a glimpse of the cost of war: lovers are separated forever, soldiers never see each other again, and even gods are deprived of their godhood and sink in endless time and space. This kind of arrangement of the battle line fills the skeleton of the love line with soul and flesh, making the whole story more rustic, more cold, and more enchanting. As Qiu said through Anubis in the article, the emotions of a king are not something that ordinary people can bear. The king has to carry so many things that his love is difficult to give away, making people almost breathless. Overcoming all difficulties, trying to break free from the heavy shackles of Pharaoh's identity, to love, express, and own is something that moves the readers and makes the loved one more determined to be loved. Therefore, when love is not just love, but a mixture of all imaginable and unimaginable elements that can be called obstacles, barriers, and natural chasms (in this article, it is time and space, identity, cognition, status, internal and external troubles, and a future that looks like flowers in the smoke), everything becomes difficult to fathom and becomes more interesting. So, when we talk about love, what are we talking about? In addition, Qiu does not hesitate to describe the urban scenery of ancient Egypt with her pen and ink. The attraction of this exotic style to me has only increased, especially after I came into contact with some ancient Egyptian cultural relics and learned about their culture and customs. Ancient Egypt is like a woman covered with a veil. After experiencing cultural epochs and racial changes, through that thick layer of history, we can see very little. Of course, humans are always moving forward, and the less known things are, the more they arouse humans' desire to explore. This is another point that attracts me to this article. Human beings are always curious about unknown things, such as the universe and the deep sea. It is precisely because there are so many unknowns that we can use our imaginations to think wildly based on existing research. This is the same concept as leaving blank space. If you know everything, everything will lose its interest. What was the urban planning of Memphis and Thebes three thousand years ago? How do you feel about the pyramids three thousand years ago? How wild was the Nile River that was not tamed by humans three thousand years ago? Could the high priest of ancient Egypt really communicate with God and perform miracles? Is the interpretation given by Qiu satisfactory to readers? There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand readers. At least for me, Qiu's answer is beautiful and enlightening. This article has already outlined part of the framework of my imagination of ancient Egypt. In fact, I have been thinking about something: It is obvious to all that the ancient Egyptians attached great importance to the afterlife. As a controversial pharaoh of the generation, why did Tusasitha leave only an empty coffin to the world in the timeline without Xiaobai? Considering that there was no other force or thought to interfere with her, as a traditional Egyptian, as a king with totem worship and god belief, who had been baptized by the underworld and rebirth since childhood, even if Tusa Sita died in an accident, she should be buried properly by her courtiers; if there was a good ending, she should not just leave a pair of armor. So what struck me as exquisite was that from the very beginning of the story, Qiu planted a seed in the hearts of all readers, hinting that Tusa Sita would have an intriguing ending. The soul of Set in Tusa Sita's body is destined to accomplish something great before she dies. Her ending is very likely to be extraordinary. Was she controlled by Set and went on a killing spree in the mortal world and the divine world, or did she control the power of Set to embark on a journey through time and space? Or maybe reincarnation had started long ago, and her physical body disappeared because she came to the modern age with another novice? Although the theories of parallel time and space and multiple universes are cliche, readers always enjoy them. Perhaps watching the conversation between Xiaobai and her father in the Egyptian pavilion before traveling twice can solidify my point of view. Before traveling for the first time, Xiao Bai supposedly had no other emotions towards the golden coffin and armor, but Qiu's description said that Xiao Bai felt inexplicably sad and lost, and even slightly distracted. Where did this come from? During the first time travel, Anubis still walked around the world in the body of a Hittite princess, with limited divine power. Therefore, the reason for Xiaobai's reasonable time travel became the theft of the museum; if all conditions remained unchanged, then why did these thieves disappear again before the second time travel? Is it just because Anubis regained his godhood? Qiu leaves us a lot of room for imagination, and the interpretation I give is that reincarnation has already begun, and the final time travel is the result of the degree of accumulation reaching a critical value. Maybe Xiaobai has seen the golden coffin and armor many times, or maybe she has been exposed to scarabs many times, but only this time all the conditions were met; be bolder, Maybe Xiaobai's so-called first time travel was actually not the first time. She had already met Tusa Sita. As for whether they fell in love with each other and the extent of their love, it is unknown, but my guess is that it was not as unforgettable as the subsequent time. Otherwise, she would not have just been slightly absent-minded, but shed tears unconsciously in front of the display cabinet like she did during the second time travel. That's why I say this article is like a jar of fine wine. The longer it settles, the more fragrant and mellow it becomes. Each time you taste it, it has a different flavor. Looking back, the theme of time-travel-reincarnation-time travel in 2016 is not groundbreaking, but it is novel enough. It cannot be compared with the clichéd novels that frequently use time-travel and fast-travel. I think the biggest gap lies in the motivation of "time-travel". The reason for this article's time travel is very natural - Anubis and Matt's love and hatred spanning thousands of years stirred up a pool of clear water in two time and space, and this is also the underlying logic and core of the article, connecting the story line of the entire article, just like the flapping of butterfly wings, rolling up the storm of history: What did Xiaobai's arrival cause? Tusacita's regretful behavior and the revenge of the Babylonian prince; what did the arrival of Anubis trigger? The Hittite enmity with Egypt and the Red Sea War brought about by the Heba alliance. And they also swallowed the cause and effect they had planted: Xiaobai sacrificed in exchange for Mat's return, thus defeating the Heba Alliance together with Anubis; Mat was voluntarily thrown into the Black Sea of ​​reincarnation and lost his memory, and Anubis witnessed the punishment of the one he loved with his own eyes, and everything happened because of him. At the end of the text, Xiaobai sees the golden coffin and armor again, and the sealed memories clamor to break through the obstacles. Anubis brings Xiaobai back to ancient Egypt from modern times, and the story of her and Tusatheta is rewinded... The logical chain of the whole text is in one go, rigorous and without loopholes. Just like the Möbius strip, there is a hint of destiny in it. The destiny-destined encounter and the destiny-destined reunion exude a mysterious and eternal color. Looking back at the current time-traveling articles, none of them can achieve the plot line design of "Moon Awakening". Either there is no logic at all and time-traveling is done for the sake of time-traveling, or the logic of time-traveling is weak and cannot withstand scrutiny. That is to say, in the current era of big lily, many people regard lily as a fashion item, which makes the overall attention of lily articles higher. Otherwise, the reading and collection volume of many time-travel articles would not be commensurate with their quality. What a pity that I can't read more of Qiu's novels. I don't know if there is a chance that this review will be read by you, and I don't know how often you will visit Jinjiang, but I hope everything is well with you here. The purpose of leaving this review is not only to let you know how much I like it, but also to leave a memory for myself, to commemorate the fact that I found the impressive novel, to commemorate the engraving knife that contained the outline of ancient Egypt in my heart, to commemorate my reverie about distant ancient civilizations, and to commemorate the ignorance I had when I first read this novel. Time has taken away a lot and brought a lot, but there are always things that will last forever, such as words, emotions, resonance, and thinking.

I read it as slowly as possible, but I still finished it... They spent five years of happiness together, which was very good. Although the author did not elaborate on the narrative, I can imagine that they walked through many different cities together (maybe they can go to one place a year? If Tusa Sita is more willful and leaves the affairs to Unas and Arnis, maybe she can go to two or three places a year, laugh). They went to the Lotus Palace to pick lotus flowers, went to the market together, and went for a walk along the Nile River. They did many things together, and then when night came, they would lie in bed hugging each other, chatting about some interesting or charming topics, and then starting from someone's hand that was restlessly lighting fires everywhere, the temperature gradually increased, breathing gradually became faster, and they couldn't tell whose was faster, and finally became entangled, venting their love for each other unreservedly... I think that when they come to modern times, they will be like this in the future. Even if they are not accustomed to modern life at the beginning, who is Tusa Sita? The first queen of Egypt, a great pharaoh with a strong legend in her life. I believe she can quickly adapt to modern times and have the ability to support herself and her lover. They will continue their happy life in modern times until time separates them... But the two loving souls will eventually meet, know each other, fall in love, and stay together in countless reincarnations in the next life, the next life, and the next life... Ah, just... Thinking about it makes me feel wonderful~ In fact, I have imagined that they would have an endless lifespan and walk hand in hand through history and travel to every corner of the world. It would be great~ Finally, I hope the author can write more about them, whether it is modern life or the happy time in those five years, whatever. I want to see more of them. Although it seems that the author has not written for a long time... But I will always wait for you! Finally, I would like to send you a sincere blessing. I hope that the author and the readers who also like this article can be happy and healthy throughout their lives, and stay with their loved ones forever!

It's been a few years since I remembered it and I watched it again. I recently read the episode of Hua Shao Sees Egypt, and this article immediately flashed in my mind. Combining the culture of ancient Egypt, I read it again and found that the author studied ancient Egypt very thoroughly and wrote it so smoothly and beautifully. The culture of ancient Egypt is splendid and mysterious, which makes people yearn for it! [Love Eyes] It would be better if this article was made into a movie! Xiaobaibai, I will automatically bring Li Qin [dog head]

I discovered this novel a few years ago. I just happened to find Qiu's book while searching for ancient civilization gl on the Internet. Now I'm finally finished reading it. After reading the author's opening of the article, I can't help but remember that I didn't come across such a long-term article earlier. Although the water is a bit clear, Qiu's knowledge reserve is really rich. As a liberal arts student, it is really easy to be attracted by such articles. Fortunately, Qiu has other books besides this book, which should be enough for me to enjoy and entertain throughout my high school years. I look forward to someone new discovering such a treasure, and I also hope that Qiu can come back to JJ to have a look (I wonder if Qiu has any masterpieces)

I first read this book when I was in junior high school. Egyptian Lily was very popular, so it was irreplaceable for me. At that time, because this book had a great interest in history, the name Yuebai often appeared in my drafts and stayed with me for a long time. Your writing style is really good. I hope the author can continue to write articles. I really hope you can write about the subject of farming infrastructure!

"Love in BC" by Jay Chou is perfect for this book!

Can't we really write some modern side stories? I really like this article. I have read it many times over the years.

Dreams Are Like Thousands of Years, author, I was already in college when I read this book again. I always believe that this ending is perfect. Your writing has made me have endless reveries about Egypt, and I really want to go there. Thebes, the place where they once set foot on the Nile River. Does it align with my ideals? I dare not finish reading this spiritual food that made me cry. I am so grateful to have met you. Thank you for presenting an ideal country, jet-lagged romantic protagonists, and their love. I can't forget "Moon Awakens in the River" in my youth. If you meet a close friend, the author, will you be like this when you finish it? Sadness is also a 10% enjoyment. I don't want to read the last chapter and feel anxious. I'm afraid I'll never see a work like this again. I'm still looking forward to meeting you again. Just like Tusa Sita waiting for Xia Yuebai, "I will spend the rest of my life waiting in Thebes, waiting for you to come back."

2026.2.4 This is a great novel. Thank you to the author. I really like the characters in the article! Fresh and three-dimensional!
