Every book is a star. Some are dazzling superstars, some are brilliant stars, and most are ordinary, dim, and hidden beneath layers of dust... I am a book hunter in the sea of stars. I search for glimmers in the darkness and coax faint light from the dust I brush away. Creativity, plot, prose, characters... if any one of these can move me within ten chapters, I will do what little I can to lift that star up. Who knows, perhaps it will be the brightest one tomorrow...

[Conquering the City, Urban Oddities] Legendary Tales Set in the Modern City
Broadly speaking, these are urban novels that the venerable one enjoys, has read, or plans to read, all set in modern cities. Fellow fans, come on in. Urban fiction has plenty of sensitive topics and taboos. Since the setting is so familiar to everyone, even well-written stories can be criticized for getting things wrong, while poorly written ones are even more likely to get flamed. Writing urban fiction is easy; writing it well is hard. Getting more readers to accept it is harder still. Read ur

This list is for readers with very particular tastes. I hope these books stay on my phone for a long time, so I can revisit them now and then. Just as the list's name suggests, I've read every book here at least twice. These are the only books that make me want to reread them again and again, inspiring me to write long, note-filled reviews and recommendations. I like to read and collect books quietly.

What does Confucianism do? The most important thing is to provide ethical principles. The ethical principles of Confucianism are centered on filial piety, unlike the ethical principles of Western religions, which are centered on belief in God, or even Buddhism, which is centered on belief in Buddha. It is okay to criticize Confucianism, but you have to propose ethical principles that replace Confucianism and be accepted by everyone. Otherwise, Confucian ethics will disappear and other ethics will not be recognized by others, and you will become a spiritual refugee. The core ethical principles of class struggle after the founding of the People's Republic of China were abandoned after the reform and opening up, and now there are almost no commonly recognized ethical principles. \
Feel free to criticize Confucianism as much as you like. Confucianism is made up of people, and most people do not do serious things. But, but, but, don't spray Confucianism and Confucianism indiscriminately. Does Confucianism teach you to betray the country? Did you teach you to kneel down and become a slave? Did you teach you to exploit people? Did you teach you how to engage in text inquisition? Have you ever been taught to close yourself off to the country and form cliques for personal gain? Did you teach you how to frame Zhongliang? Don't use random hats. Does Confucianism not teach equality? No struggle taught? Not teaching justice? No integrity taught? Not taught kindness? Didn't teach harmony? How much of the good stuff is there in Confucianism? How many are bad? If you don't learn well, who is to blame? Have you visited the comment sections of many historical novels? Why are there so many people spraying randomly?
. China🇨🇳There are too many smart people. It's not that the Chinese are incompetent, it's just that they lack opportunities. Every capable person at the lower level is working hard! In fact, there is no difference between ancient times and modern times. The emperor or the president of the country are far away from us. After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. What Chairman Mao said still makes sense. Class struggle is inevitable. Anyone who is capable doesn't want to climb up. There are so many people in China. I don't believe that we can't win the World Cup. There are more than one billion people! Choose a football team with a few IO players! Is it that difficult? Is it a conflict of interest? What is the difference from Ming Dynasty? Resources are controlled by a small number of people, without any background: no matter how smart you are, try to take advantage of other people's hands😄 Guarantee that the accident will come earlier than tomorrow.
I just read a book review that talks about Confucianism. In fact, who knows much about the six arts of a gentleman in Confucianism? In the Tang Dynasty and before the Tang Dynasty, the swords worn by gentlemen were more than just decorations. They were useless scholars who had no power to tie a chicken. I don't think of these scholars in the Qing Dynasty as Confucian scholars. They were just scholars, just scholars. And those who say treason, are those real Confucian scholars? The six arts of a gentleman are the true Confucian disciples
48 Updates in one breath, OMG, the author is awesome.
Chapter 1: I endured it, Chapter 2: I died from the poison
Some confusion! I read in other books that scholars in the Ming Dynasty had a very high status, especially those with fame, but even their own grandparents had to be humbled and treated with caution! But the behavior of the protagonist's father in this book is worse than that of domestically violent parents in the 21st century! What kind of behavior is true in the Ming Dynasty? Ask for Baidu!
Huang Ming died because he represented the interests of Confucianism. No one among the Confucian disciples would object! ! ! ?
Primary school Chinese Requirements: Connect the following four sentences with related words: (1) Sister Li is paralyzed; (2) Sister Li studies tenaciously; (3) Sister Li has learned many foreign languages; (4) Sister Li learned acupuncture. (The correct answer should be: Although Sister Li was paralyzed, she studied tenaciously and not only learned many foreign languages, but also learned acupuncture.) It turned out that the writing by a group of naughty kids was too stupid. Xiaohua wrote: Although Sister Li tenaciously learned acupuncture and many foreign languages, she is still paralyzed. Xiao Liu wrote: Sister Li not only learned foreign languages, but also learned acupuncture. She studied so tenaciously that she finally became paralyzed. Xiao Ding wrote: The reason why Sister Li was paralyzed was because she studied tenaciously. Not only did she learn many foreign languages, she even learned acupuncture. Xiaoxiao wrote: Sister Li studied so tenaciously. Not only did she learn many foreign languages and acupuncture, but she also learned to become paralyzed. Xiaomi wrote: Sister Li has learned many foreign languages, learned acupuncture, and is stubbornly learning to be paralyzed. The highlight is always at the end: Xiao Ming wrote: Sister Li learned many foreign languages and acupuncture through tenacious study, but ended up paralyzing herself by reading a foreign language version of an acupuncture book!

Those who criticize Confucianism should first read the Analects of Confucius before coming back. Do you have the right to speak if you haven't read it? Then those who say that Confucianism is a slave should know Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu. Those who say that Confucianism is unhelpful to the country should know Zhang Zai and Wang Yangming. These are all late Confucianists. Let's not say that this is a minority. Let's not say whether it is really a minority. Even if it is a minority, these few are enough to hold up the sky of our Chinese nation, let alone not a minority. I have never read this book, but I heard that some people criticize Confucianism and wanted to learn from it. I have read a lot, but in fact, most of them are incomprehensible. One even said that the two Jin Dynasties also respected Confucianism (I remember that some people thought so. If I understand some history, I will naturally understand what I mean). Most people think that Confucianism just teaches you to be a good person and is of no use to the nation, country, society, work, and family (that's right). A small number of people think that Confucius and Mencius were right in the pre-Qin period, but they were completely hopeless later on (some of them). Then there are some people who think that Confucianism is the dregs of the nation and will bring harm to the ages (not just the minority but the majority). First, let's talk about Confucianism's views on the country and society, maintaining national stability, promoting clean and benevolent government, being loyal to the emperor and serving the country (people) (does anyone refute this), work and family, (no need to say more about this) patriotism, dedication, integrity, friendliness, civilization, harmony, justice, and the rule of law. If you look closely, what Confucianism advocates accounts for the majority of the twenty-four words of the mantra. The rest are factors of the times. You can't talk about equality in a feudal society. Besides, is it true that Confucianism in later generations is no longer good? Zhang Zai, some people may not have heard of it, Wang Yangming, you know it. He who promotes inner learning has fans abroad, unites knowledge and action, and develops conscience. These are all very good. Mind science and Qi science both have their merits. Later, I don't know what to say to the lofty opinions of those wise men who think that Confucianism is dregs and have no merit. How can you make sense of talking about civilization to those who purely advocate money and force? They are no different from the Japanese invaders and Nazis. This may be the bad nature of human beings. Finally, let's talk about Confucianism. Confucianism is not just about moral education, but it is even more cruel to the hopeless Confucius. Will Legalists talk to you about human relations? (Don't think it's bad to think that the principles of the law are nothing more than human feelings. Isn't the reason why human beings are human beings the softness in their hearts?)
