How vast is the world? Peng Mountain lies at its center, surrounded by four great kingdoms on four continents. Across the sea, at the four corners, lie four remote kingdoms. That gives you an idea of how vast the world is. How far is a stone's throw? Only eight inches. Sometimes, though a stone's throw is near, it can feel as distant as the ends of the earth; sometimes, though the world is vast, it is no more than a stone's throw away.
The end
(A zhi was an ancient unit of length. Under the Zhou system, it measured eight inches, or about 6.22 modern inches. “A stone's throw” is a metaphor for a very short distance.)
Theme:
The fanfic from more than ten years ago is more feudal and derogatory than the original work. There are queens, female generals, civil servants, military attachés, female historians, etc. There is hope for promotion, but they are expected to be an ordinary woman, have children, and support the family. There is obviously no fertility barrier, but there is still a lot of pressure on women. The brothel, pc, is written in a very upright way. The history of a woman assassinates the queen because she loves her lover. Don't love men too much. Whether it is a male king, a male general, or even a male musician, he has several admirers, has dated a few, and has had sex with a few. A group of second-hand goods are still being pushed to women.
After reading it, I feel that the author's imagination of the status of men and women in the Twelve Kingdoms is very different from the original work. Women in the Twelve Kingdoms do not need to give birth to children by themselves. Children are born from trees after their parents get married and pray under the tree. Couples only get married because they want children. If they don't want children and just want two people to be together, they will live together. Falling in love requires getting married and relying on each other is not a common concept
The writing is great. The relationship between the two kings is destined to be extraordinary and subject to many restrictions. Their relationship is intertwined between the country and individuals. It is not so passionate but has a profound affection. It is a kind of support for each of them, and it also allows them to retain part of themselves.
I just found out today that the author is one of the owners of the Baidu Twelve Kingdoms Bar, and the person downstairs is also the owner... You guys are so awesome. . . I don't know if Ono Lord will continue to write new ones. Winged Dream has said that Lord will start writing new content about the Twelve Kingdoms in 2012 after July. . . But when I went to the Twelve Kingdoms Japanese website, it seemed that her new novel had nothing to do with the Twelve Kingdoms. .
I recently read this deception fanfic again. The Twelve Kingdoms itself is one of my favorite novels and anime. And this fanfic is my favorite one. If the original text has always emphasized the responsibility and mission of being a king, exploring human nature, and the dignity of a human being, then this fanfic pays more attention to the king's emotions and loneliness. . . Maybe the article is not as gorgeously worded as the original, but it is more in line with my taste~~ Haha I particularly like the bond between Yoko and Shanglong. Only by being kings can we understand the king's loneliness and helplessness, and can we support each other And this book is not limited to the two kings, Qilin and Wang. The stories of the people around them make this story more full and vivid~ Actually, I just want to leave a paw print. . I really think it's much better than other articles!!!!
But I still feel a little regretful. I thought Wang would be with Li. Li is so gentle and beautiful.
I have known about this article for a long time, but I just read it now. The different love lines of the Twelve Kingdoms made my eyes red... Even if it is almost 12 years since I first read it, I still keep reading it and reading it again and again.
Do you want the writing to be so... Literary... It feels like a real continuation of The Twelve Kingdoms. I never read Twelve Kingdoms fanfics, but I had the courage to read this one and I have never regretted reading it.
Why do I feel like I'm about to burst into tears...
Why are there so few extras? It would be nice to have more. . . Everyone in the Twelve Kingdoms is like a protagonist, with their own characteristics. . .
