The Brocade-Clad Journey 锦衣行
To Meng Jianqing, living is like rowing against the current: if you don't move forward, you fall behind. Four works in this series, “Young Hero” (the first half of “Young Hero” and the second half of “The Martial Arts Academy,” combined into one story), “Flowers on the Sea,” “Borrowing the East Wind,” and “Battle South of the City,” were published in the 2007 martial arts edition of Legends of the Present and the Past. I wasn't sure how to mark this in the titles, so I'm mentioning it here. Som

The Legend of Wushan (Revised Edition) 巫山传(修改版)
Compared with the original draft, the revised version won't differ much in its basic content. The main changes are to specific plot points and details. I've read quite a few stories that include background music. I wonder what song would suit this one, if I were to add one? Maybe I could try replacing "Two Tigers" with "Two Foxes." The print edition went on sale on December 1, 2009. At the publisher's request, I'm posting a publication announcement here. The side story is being posted now. Th

The Beautiful Ladies 丽人行
This is a very old-fashioned tale of grudges, love, power, and beauty. Yet every old-fashioned theme has a timeless vitality. The heroine is named Gong Yin. Yin is an uncommon character, but I've decided not to change it. Yin is pronounced like "yin," and means quiet and gentle, still and profound. The character repeated, Yinyin, suggests a deep, hushed stillness, which is why Ji Kang wrote in his Rhapsody on the Qin: "The qin's quiet virtue is beyond measure." I originally intended to revise

The Legend of Wushan (Original Draft) 巫山传(原稿)

When the high gorges give way to a calm lake, the clouds and rain linger over Wushan. Once gone, never to return. So this side story is set in an industrial-age Wushan, where steel and concrete keep the lights burning all night, and boats glide across the deep, still waters. "Golden Tales": How Ji Yaoguang mines gold from the alchemists to equip the Xiangyang army. "Dance of the Sky": Though the world is vast, you are the only one who can dance with me. So Su Chaoyun and Ji Yannian choose to da

Ming Yinglie 明英烈
Chapters 1-5 are the old version's prologue. They've been locked because they differ from the main story, so you can start directly from Chapter 6. The story officially begins during the Zhengtong era of the Ming Emperor Yingzong, several years before the Tumu Crisis. It isn't a golden age, but it can still be called peaceful and prosperous. Zhou Nan, a boy from a poor scholar's family at the foot of Mount Yuelu, only learns of the storms and turmoil beneath this peaceful facade after stepping i

Sequel to the Comprehensive Mirror to Aid in Government This is

The Battle of Muye 牧野之战
The scope of wuxia is actually quite broad. You can identify four major schools in the Four Great Classical Novels. Romance of the Three Kingdoms is all about clashing armies and contending for the Central Plains; Water Margin, the shifting tides of the jianghu and brotherly loyalty; Journey to the West, fighting through trials and battling demons and gods. As for Dream of the Red Chamber, try taking out the episode with Liu Xianglian and You Sanjie. The chivalrous tenderness of a hero's tears a
