The full name is "The Biography of Gil Blas de Santiana", which is a famous French picaresque novel. The novel was published in three installments (1715, 1724, 1735). In 1715, when the first part was published, King Louis XIV, the longest reigning king in French history, passed away, which was the dividing line between the two eras. The novel narrates the rough life experience of Gil Blas. Through the image of Gil Blas, the writer tries to illustrate that in a feudal society full of caste prejudice, if a person comes from a humble background, even if he has skills, he will not be valued and can only be at the bottom of society.

Is an example. By the Tianqi period in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, leaf grids evolved into horse tags. This kind of card has portraits of characters from "Water Margin", as well as Wanzi, Suozi and Wenqian. After the emergence of horse tags, they became popular in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Around the 14th century, as the forerunner of paper media and printing technology, they were first introduced to some European countries. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, "horse tags" were quite popular. Influenced by "Xuanhe cards" and "Penghe cards", they became "Mohe cards". From "Mohe cards" they gradually evolved into the current "playing cards".

There were mainly four tribes, Yehe, Hada, Wula, and Huifa. From the Yuan Dynasty to the early Ming Dynasty, these tribes mainly lived in the vast area of ​​​​the lower reaches of the Songhua River. The lower reaches of the Songhua River were called Haixi River in ancient times, so they were called Haixi Jurchens in history. And because their ancestors jointly originated from the Hulan River Basin north of today's Harbin City, the Haixi Jurchens are also called the Hu Lun (a homophonic pronunciation of Hu Lan). They are also called the Hu Lun Kingdom. In the Hun River Basin (Liaoning Province) southeast of the Haixi Jurchens, there is also a relatively powerful Jurchen tribal kingdom called Jianzhou.

For a woman, the man she loves is her whole world. I firmly believe this sentence because I fell in love with a man. I feel that he is my God and my whole world. This man is older than me and is a married man. Grandma once asked a respected gentleman from our village who was over 90 years old and was familiar with Zhouyi Ma Yi's physiognomy to tell my fortune. The gentleman said that I was destined to have a special fate. My hometown is on the edge of the Liao River. Every spring and summer, the peach blossoms are in full bloom and the fragrance spreads ten miles away. Grandma said that during the Qing Dynasty, although there were only a few dozen households in the village, a Feng Shui master had seen it and said that my hometown was a land of phoenixes, and our village was located in the eye of the phoenix. It had good Feng Shui and was an exceptional place. But from the Qing Dynasty to now, not a single character has appeared in the village. However, my grandma, who is of pure Manchu descent, always says that I am Gege Ming.

There are many things in my grandmother's life that are hard to describe. These many difficult words have destined her and our family to go through countless setbacks and hardships. I was only two years old when the Cultural Revolution began, so those vigorous and turbulent scenes failed to leave any trace in my memory. All I know is that my grandmother's unexplainable deeds became unforgivable historical issues at that moment. With her multiple identities as a traitor landlord's wife, a bandit's wife, and a stinky capitalist's wife, she was deported to a place called Yanjiatai to undergo supervision and reform. It stands to reason that my parents and I would also be exiled there together. However, my mother is a very current woman. She did not hesitate to propose a divorce from my father, who was known as a son of a bitch. This resolute revolutionary action saved her from the disaster of being sent to the countryside for reform. Soon, she took me to marry a car mechanic whose wife had just died in childbirth.
