To a large extent, this is because there is a stereotype that the May Fourth Movement was like the Taiping Rebellion. Too many people took action and the big fish were all gone.

Margaret Atwood has a lot of titles: Queen of Canadian Literature, winner of the Booker Prize, the Kafka Prize, the German Book Industry Peace Prize, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize and other awards, a favorite for the Nobel Prize in Literature, the author of the best-selling books "The Handmaid's Tale" and "The Blind Assassin"... Margaret Atwood's talent is as undoubted as her achievements. The same is true of Penelope. It very cleverly uses Penelope, a little girl's autobiography in the underworld, to comprehensively take stock of what she knows about Odysseus, Helen, the Battle of Troy, and the story of Odysseus and Ithaca's revenge. Atwood completely replaced Penelope, the legendary lady, making her feel awkward when dating like an ordinary girl and panicking when teasing her parents-in-law, but also as witty and agile as the legend. She dealt with all the relatives skillfully, and when she met her husband who had been away for many years, she showed her cunning and intelligent character. The humor and irony between the lines made people laugh.

The Iron Rat, also known as the Raiha Rat, was one of the favorite themes of storytellers at the end of the Heian period. According to the Yankei version of "Heian Monogatari", Emperor Shirakawa made the daughter of Seki Shirofujiwara Shimi as his queen, and she was known as Nakamiya Kenko. , The two were extremely loving, so they hoped that Xianzi would give birth to a prince. The emperor heard that Mitsuiji Laihao Acharya's magic power was efficacious, so he ordered him to pray on his behalf, and he agreed (if everything goes well, all gifts will be easy). Later, Laihao Acharya prayed wholeheartedly and paid tribute to this wish. Prince Dunwen was born. The Emperor was overjoyed and asked Acharya what reward he wanted. Laihao Acharya replied: "I hope that the Emperor will order Mitsui Temple to build an ordination altar." 〕The emperor readily agreed, but he ignored that at that time Mitsui-ji Temple was located on the side of Mount Hiei, where Enryaku-ji Temple of the Tendai sect was located. Hearing that the emperor had authorized Mitsui-ji Temple to build an ordination altar to symbolize the status of the commanding Buddhist temple, he especially used his political connections to advise the emperor. In the end, the emperor felt that the Tendai sect could not be divided, so he withdrew the previous order. Laihao Acharya heard about this change and said angrily: "I worked hard and prayed hard to get the prince. Now that the emperor has betrayed me, I will take him to the devil's path." 〕After saying this, he would not eat a grain of rice, and would eventually go on a hunger strike and die. At that time, a white-haired monster monk appeared next to the emperor's pillow, standing in front of the bed holding a tin staff, which shocked the emperor. He asked the monks of Mount Hiei to pray for blessings and avoid disasters. Unfortunately, Prince Atsubun died before he was four years old. According to folklore, Acharya Laihao locked himself in a secret room without trimming his beard, hair, or nails. He burned incense and cursed without sleep for a hundred days. After he died, he turned into 84,000 giant rats with iron-like teeth and stone-like bodies. They went all the way to Mount Hiei and chewed up all the Buddha statues and scriptures. Because of its iron-like teeth, Toriyama Shiyan called it "Iron Rat" in "Hakugui Night Walk".
