[Book Review] The mountains and rivers are all about the family and the country, but the love is no match for the sword - a review of "Broken String Accompanied by Crying Makeup"
[Book Review] The mountains and rivers are all about the family and the country, but the love is not as strong as the sword ——Comment on "Broken String Accompanied by Crying Makeup" Author: Mu Jinqing Type: Ancient Chinese Proverbs, Classical Imagination Published: 330,000 words Some days ago, maybe because of the difference in the way of thinking between male and female authors, I always felt that most of the books by male authors were grand and lacked delicate warmth, while most of the books by female authors focused more on emotional expression and lacked majesty. The book I'm reviewing today happens to be both. The following content contains spoilers, but the plot is not the main reason to read this book. If you mind, just skip and add a bookshelf to read. Anyway, the book is a good book. Reading such a long book review is tiring, right? ——————————————————————————————————————————————(Manual dividing line) 1. Summary of the story: Xiao Yu, the princess of Ningwang, left home when she was young. She went to Fanqingguan under the pseudonym Minyue to study martial arts, and she fell in love with her senior brother Mu Yang. The two originally intended to wander around the world and fall in love with the mountains and rivers, but their respective identities made them unable to do so. Prince Ning guards the border and has been at war with Hoza for years. After learning that Mu Yang's true identity is Murong Xiyu, the prince of Hoza, their relationship is tested in the face of their family and country's hatred. During this period, the appearance of Mo Zijin, the prime minister, caused another ripple on the Minyue Heart Lake... The story frame and temperament are more traditional, with a mixture of pleasure in the world, galloping on the battlefield, defending the family and the country, and royal disputes. While reading, I always think of Jin Yong's The Condor, which has the bearing of a great chivalrous person, especially after chapter 30, this feeling is more obvious. Putting the love between children into the midst of national hatred, it is not outstanding in terms of originality alone. There are already many books of the same type in traditional literature. However, this type of book does not win with creativity. It is a book with a strong style that readers with the right appetite will really like. More details below. 2. Laying out the background frame: Silk introduction. In an imaginary background setting, the Luo Kingdom is a prosperous country, but it suffers from frequent border invasions, such as Hoza and Yushu. The explanation of the entire background is not forced into the story, but is made clear to the readers little by little based on the experiences and knowledge of the heroine Xiao Yu (also known as Minyue). The story begins with Xiao Yu traveling to Yiyan, the imperial capital of the Luo Kingdom, to find the lost Mu Yang, and getting to know Mo Zijin. That night, he was chased by the Hoza killer and killed four people. After that, he got the help of Mo Zijin and his son to handle the lawsuit, and then stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion. With the advancement of this plot, the author shows the chivalrous world where Xiao Yu lives, the border conflicts between the Luo Kingdom and Hoza, and the overt and covert struggles in the Luo Kingdom royal family. He uses small things to see the big things, showing the bond between family, country and individuals. 3. The laying and unfolding of foreshadowing. Although my synopsis of the story is so clear, it is actually a spoiler. The author has a strong sense of burying the burden. First there are the identities of Minyue and Mu Yang, and then there is the parent-child emotional entanglement between Prince Ning and his wife Xiao Yu, the mystery of the life experience of Mrs. Mo of the Prime Minister, and the Luo Kingdom. And Xiao Jiujiu from Horza's respective royal family... The foreshadowing is well laid, but it also has shortcomings. The unfolding process is too slow, and it looks a bit anxious, like guessing a riddle. I have obviously guessed the answer, but you still refused to announce it for a long time. Also because of the slow pace of this amplified action, there are too many hints before the baggage is completely shaken out, and the twists and surprises of the plot are compromised. 4. Rhythm: slow and delicate. Finally, we come to the issue of rhythm. Personally, I like slow-burning books, and I also like the grasp of various details. In the author's writing, the imperial capital is lively and prosperous, with a pyrotechnic atmosphere. In order to participate in the competition at Du Kang's banquet to win a jar of famous wine, the inns are overcrowded; in the rivers and lakes, the knights make friends and drink from large bowls. They are free and easy and heroic without forgetting their righteousness... It is obviously an imaginary background, but it has a sense of reality because of the display of details. But the plot progress is also slow because of the too complicated details. This kind of detail includes both substantive detail and plot detail. For example, the author also took great care to describe small things like the tea snacks that Minyue and Mo Zijin had when they visited Fusang Ancient Town, the snow mud and the orchid tree. For example, the details of the plot are still based on the experiences in Fusang Ancient Town as an example, and the writing of the two old men living in the farmhouse seems to be cumbersome. When choosing plots, we can follow the principle of whether it is effective in promoting the main line and branch lines of the story. In other words, if a certain description is shortened or deleted, will it have an impact on the overall story? In comparison, the first thirty chapters spread out more background, so the pace progresses slowly. I personally feel that if it can be pushed faster, it will be more attractive. After thirty chapters, both the plot and narrative rhythm are more compact, and the book has a better reading experience. 5. Character description. The description of the heroine Xiao Yu is undoubtedly the focus. She has strong martial arts skills, a powerful heart, cold beauty, righteousness, charity, generous heart, careful thoughts, and a very pleasing character, which fulfilled my dream of a chivalrous heroine back then. But of course the halo is also very powerful. Perhaps the author also felt that the halo was blinding him, and he crushed the heroine in the later stage. I felt inexplicably comforted that I was the devil. In comparison, the two male characters are not as good as the female protagonist. The heroine's character is based on various anecdotes, specific words and deeds, and detailed psychological activities. Since the perspective is mainly on the heroine, the male character appears to be flatter. Of the two male protagonists, I preferred Mo Zijin in the early stage. He is rich, handsome, not domineering and has an air of expression. He is a standard male protagonist. But from the description, it is obvious that Mu Yang is more three-dimensional. He has an aura and obvious inner darkness, making this character more real and believable. Mu Yang was jealous and unreasonable, but I felt heartbroken for no reason. It seems that the author himself has not decided who the heroine will be with? I voted against Mu Yang. But my opinion is not important. I have always had weird tastes. 6. Writing style: This last point must be praised. The author's writing style is beautiful. Whether it is the description of the scene, the presentation of details or the confession of his heart, it is very smooth and the plot flows very naturally. These are all secondary. The most beautiful thing is the ancient poems that are everywhere in the article. It is said that most of them were written by the author himself, and the author also made excerpts in the "Related Works". In addition, the names of people and objects in the text are also very classically beautiful and thoughtful. Except for some rare words that I couldn't find for a long time when I was reviewing the book, there is nothing wrong with it. Finally, I hope the author will continue to work hard on coding and not be a eunuch~~~ By the way, I have coded such a long review, can I add more updates?
Sit down and wait for opinions
Well, how should I put it, this one is quite laborious. Then I've been very busy recently, and I'm a little confused. Although I had roughly written it before, because there were major changes during the publishing process, I still coded it chapter by chapter. I will really work hard and hope that my friends will always be here. Thank you (three bows)
The greatest blessing in life is to encounter such an excellent book when I am in a book shortage. I decided to stay here for you ❤️
Because of this book, the world suddenly feels like spring is blooming❤️
If you like a book, you will unconsciously read it in the book reviews. I appreciate you appreciating your book. I am not a passerby. I want to stay for you💕
The writing style is very beautiful, and every fallen leaf written by the author can touch the heartstrings~ I like the heroine's free and easy attitude, just from the sentence "My horse can't bear to be wronged".
The boat is no longer drifting, just because you are the harbor ❤️
Mo ZijinGreen Zijin, leisurely my heart (not completely crooked)
The imperial capital, the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mo Zijin. When I read this name, I feel that this person is full of bookishness. It's not the poverty of a bookworm, it's the satisfaction of actually reading a favorite book. I like this name very much, it has the poetic feeling of gurgling clear springs in the mountains. Mo Zijin, who has a reputation as a "talented scholar in the imperial capital" and who can make Miss Shang feel aggrieved because of a misunderstanding, is certainly a rare person. —————————————————————— After reading the previous article, Mo Zijin's role is not too many, which makes this person seem to be just like a label, which makes people feel unreal. But later, his appearance in Anjia Villa made people think of him differently. The author said that it is a bit broken, but I think that if a person only lives like a label, he is truly broken. He went to Hoza, and it seemed that he was doing it for Xiao Yu, but in fact there was some explanation. Mo Zijin's father was the prime minister of the dynasty, and his mother's life experience seemed to be clearly explained, but in fact it was explained otherwise in the follow-up. Looking carefully, Mo Zijin's connection with Hoza is no less than that of Murong Xiyu, especially his connection with the Shangguan family. However, the author still buried the thread very deeply. I think this will be a very important step in the future. —————————————————————— In the latest update, although the relationship between Mo Zijin and Xiao Yu was just a little sweet, some terrible clues were discovered, and then the painting style suddenly gave Xiao Yu the antidote to the love poison. Mo Zijin wants to detoxify Xiao Yu and at the same time make her forget her past. Mo Zijin has his own selfish motives. One is the war with Hoza, and the other is Xiao Yu. As far as I'm concerned, although the two of them had a good impression when they were in the imperial capital, they were not attracted to each other. Although Mo Zijin longed for the world in his heart, he knew very well that he was the prime minister in the imperial capital. When making friends with people, he still put his status first when dealing with trivial matters. Even though he is different from other girls in the imperial capital because of "Minyue", he still knows how to advance and retreat. Until he found out that "Min Yue" was Princess Zizhu - The article mentioned that when he knew about this, he said that Prime Minister Mo was not sure whether Mo Zijin would imitate Princess Zizhu. This not only hid the fact that Mo Zijin would travel far away and reunite with Xiao Yu, but more importantly, it revealed Mo Zijin's "envy" of Xiaoyao Jianghu and his "unwillingness to think about it." In fact, at this point, especially after he later found out that "Mu Yang" was Prince Hoza, Mo Zijin breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt worried for Xiao Yu. He kept asking Xiao Yu questions such as "Are you willing to give up?" Or "Have you thought about it?", And he was even asking himself. Mo Zijin went all the way from the imperial capital to Hoza. He didn't write down what he saw and heard, but it can be seen with the naked eye that he grew a lot. From the agreement with Xiao Yu, the flute sound, the letter for the beginning of autumn, and the conversation with King Ning, there are some details, but they will be mentioned later (I am not responsible for the series) Xiao Yu returned to the military camp. Although the article did not explicitly mention that Mo Zijin gave Xiao Yu the medicine, we can get a glimpse of it from the later articles. In fact, Mo Zijin here is not only asking Xiao Yu to go back, but also drawing an end to himself. What was ending was not only the end of my long journey, but also the end of my own immaturity. In the days after returning to the imperial capital, he did not write, but it is conceivable (continuing to be irresponsible) that he would no longer only accompany poetry and books and dream of being a knight as before. He is a person who walks between dreams and reality, so when that illusory dream falls into reality and finds that it is not that beautiful, he will be more down-to-earth and realistic. ———————————————————— According to the introduction, Mo Zijin should be a person who was hidden later. But now the emotional line is actually very clear. Even if Xiao Yu has forgotten many people and things, she will definitely not let it go and give up on the investigation. I am looking forward to seeing Mo Zijin again after the little princess returns to the imperial capital. (It's almost watery, I love Mo Zijin)
UpdateWrite a longer post
[Broken strings accompanied by crying makeup] Let's borrow this paragraph from the introduction. ———————————————————————— That day, the horse was frivolous and frivolous, enjoying the grudges without restraining its edge. Then the beacon smoke leads to the vast sky, bows are drawn and the flutes are listened to, iron horses and golden guns. After returning, I put my sleeves up on the Yao stage and played the piano with my bare hands, in order to find the phoenix. Nowadays, the broken strings accompany the mourning, the wedding dress is like fire, and the black hair is broken. ———————————————————— Needless to say about the writing style, it's just a boast. Antique detailed descriptions, who wears what clothes, what kind of clothes and accessories they usually wear can also be used to bury the thread; Write poems as soon as you start, which is said to kill brain cells but really nourish the lungs. ———————————————————— In the early stage, it was really a chivalrous dream come true. Recent updates always feel a little uncomfortable. One reason is that we are not familiar with war, and the other reason is that the emotional line seems a bit messy. I believe that when we "return" later, there will be a different display. ———————————————————— Today I will mainly talk about [Actress: Xiao Yu] Origin: Princess Zizhu of Prince Ning's Mansion. Jianghu: Miss Minyue. Judgment: If you steal the beauty of the world, it would be harder to borrow it than to do it. ———————————————————— Every author wants to give the heroine the best appearance and best life experience. However, it is always not good to be too beautiful. Natural beauties are often a disaster. In addition, "the most wisdom will be hurt, and the deepest love will not live long", which can also be seen as a tragedy. I was sent away from home when I was a child. Although I received some protection, I still had a hard time dealing with it. I have been with my senior brother for many years, but because of my background, we have to stand on opposite sides. At the same time, she met Mo Zijin. The two people who were each other's confidants began to test each other bit by bit without knowing whether they were true or false. Family and country, human nature, Xiao Yu is already a tragic character at this point. ———————————————————— A brief discussion of [Broken Strings Accompanied by Crying Makeup] From the introduction, people feel the atmosphere of tragedy. Everyone in this book has his own life experience and his own past. Mo Zijin, Murong Xiyu, even Shang Lianhe, Zhongli Zhu, Xuanyuan Yining... None of them have a single side. Although many characters are not written one by one, you can feel that everyone has their own different side. ———————————————————— I don't know what I wrote, but this is where it ends.

Xiao Yu: I can steal the beauty of the world, and it would be more troublesome to borrow it from a merchant. Hmm... Poems and poems have already been sorted out in the works. I'd better stop being a porter and write about the unsorted ones. (Incomplete, I will continue to post in the future) —————————————————— Baizuojiu: As soon as the jar of Baiduojiu is opened, the aroma of the wine is enough to make people intoxicated. Xiao Yu can't remember what happened a few years ago. Master accidentally got a pot of Baidu wine, and he and his senior brother drank most of it secretly. The aroma of the wine was still fresh in Xiao Yu's memory. Even though the master punished him and Senior Brother Mu Yang a hundred times for this incident, they both felt that they had made a lot of money this time. —————————————————— Shang Zhai: The sky was bright and the two of them walked to the door of a manor one after another. This courtyard is different from other places. It is not the usual blue bricks and black tiles, red doors with red pillars, but white walls under blue tiles, and carved eaves with white pillars and blue and white outlines. This is the Shang family's residence. Although the gate cannot be called magnificent, it is obviously the carved eaves of the previous dynasty - the phoenix above the flying dragon. This courtyard should be the treasure of the entire Fusang Ancient Town. —————————————————— Mo Zijin: Mo Zijin has a white jade hair crown on his head, aquamarine gown on his body, a collar decorated with bamboo leaves embroidered with silver thread, a long light blue bamboo pattern armor on the outside, and a jade pendant on a green brocade belt around his waist. —————————————————— Xiao Yu: Xiao Yu changed from her usual fluttering white clothes to a pair of narrow-sleeved clothes from her daughter's house. Although she is still wearing white clothes, her otherworldly look is much more ordinary than the wide-sleeved flying skirt. ... Mo Zijin was used to Xiao Yu's wide-sleeved flying skirts. In his opinion, such a fluttering and carefree outfit was more suitable for Xiao Yu. ………………………… I saw this girl: wearing a snow-white silk shirt, a skirt with dark catkin patterns in the wind, and a sword at her waist. ………………………… The cold moonlight fell on her body, the wind blew her hair and ruffled her clothes, just like the countless times they spent together. But tonight, Xiao Yu, dressed in red and with her back to Murong Xiyu, made him feel a little unreal. ………………………… The afterglow from the horizon shone on Xiao Yu's body, sliding along her black hair to her face, shoulders, and scattered on her dress; Mo Zijin looked a little lost in thought. As the sun sets, walking quickly in this winding corridor, there is a girl who seems to be running away from something. ………………………… The red dress on Xiao Yu's body makes her skin look like gelatin and her green hair looks like a waterfall. Just like silk cotton covering beautiful jade, brocade holding pearls; dignified yet charming, flamboyant yet elegant. More importantly, the reason why Xiao Yu has been in the world for many years is that she has a heroic and chivalrous spirit that is not found in ordinary daughters. —————————————————— Okay, let's go here today and slip away.
I haven't seen such a beautiful ancient style novel in a long time.
Nowadays, the level of writers writing ancient Chinese novels is getting better and better. They are much better than those whose descriptions are incomprehensible and the plots are seriously watered down. Such a good article should be recommended more often
[Welcome to the princess]

CharacterSu Yuqian
The old rule is to start with the judgment. ———————————— Cai Jue Shun Longzi, brother Wu Guanyu. The wind blows in the willows in the shallow air, but they wither in spring. —————————————— Appeared in chapters 34--37, and then there were some fragmented memories in the middle, so it came to chapter 146. How did you do it? You still remember the people who didn't appear in more than a hundred chapters. ———————————— Judging from his background, the third prince is a very miserable character. In the author's words, it "jumped out of the cracks in the rocks". The biological mother was just a noble person until her death, and after her death she was named a submissive concubine. This is a tragic story. Everyone has seen the palace fights many times. What happened to the concubines and the princes and princesses who were not taken seriously? It is really terrible. Then there is the word "Shun". Firstly, it means "to push the boat along with the current". Secondly, it has the same pronunciation with the word "Shun" in the name of the current emperor. According to the author's habit of playing homonymous jokes, do you smell the smell of peerless sex? Logically speaking, it would be very difficult for such a prince to survive. The road to growth must be as bumpy as a mountain road with eighteen bends. So what's so great about him is that he fights for himself. The author gave him a very high evaluation for his talent in martial arts. Not to mention anything else, just because he can master the control of Mu Yuan and successfully fight in Feishui and come back to be named "Pingyuan Marquis" and win a place, it can prove that he is really hardworking, at least harder than Su Yumu. —————————————— I will write when I have time, good night.

[Check-in] Swallows come to Xinshe, while pear blossoms lag behind Qingming Festival
Today is Qingming Festival. Qingming Festival is the best time for outing, but it is raining~ Let's talk about the Qingming Festival in Anjia Villa, which is barely a scene. As soon as the character Qingming appeared, Xiao Yu felt that she was too polite and too serious to be interesting. Compared with the "spring thunder startles hundreds of insects", the Qingming Festival is more like the running water chasing fallen flowers between spring and summer. In Jingzhe's words, "Qingming is also a handsome young man if he dresses up", but Xiao Yu said that Qingming is very similar to Murong Xiyu. The key points are very similar, how similar are they? At a quick glance, Xu Qiuyi would recognize Qingming as Murong Xiyu, and Wu Feng and others in the Anjia Courtyard would recognize Murong Xiyu as Qingming. He could wear a red robe and pretend to be Murong Xiyu from a distance, and Xiao Yu would even feel familiar and unfamiliar when seeing Qingming after losing his memory, so he drew his sword. I always feel that there is some connection between the two, and it is even very possible... (Can't twist the building) ———————————————————— Then let's talk about Qingming Festival. In fact, it should be a day for outing. After all, the weather is getting warmer, the grass and trees are warm, and the mountains are good, the water is good, and the air is good. And judging from "Along the River During Qingming Festival", the ancients' definition of Qingming is not limited to sacrifices. But now it is more about worshiping ancestors and mourning the dead. So, if nothing else, in 2020, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe. ❤️❤️
WaiwaiThings about names (Mo Zijin VS Murong Xiyu)
Mo Zijin! Qingqing Zijin, my heart is leisurely. But for your sake, I still ponder it. Mo Qing or Mo Qing actually come from "Qing Qing Zi Jin". But what is more interesting is that "Qing" and "Qing" have the same pronunciation. According to a certain streetwalker who likes to play homonymous jokes, combined with the "Royal Lang" written in the introduction, it is really worth pondering. Mo is originally black, but from the description of Mo Zijin's clothing in the article, except for his hair, there are almost no dark colors, especially no colors such as black, black, and brown. It feels like a contrast. In addition, Mo is one of the four treasures of the study. Mr. Mo's father is the prime minister and the head of the civil service. He himself has a reputation as a talented scholar in the imperial capital. This surname adds a scholarly flavor to the character. —————————————————— Murong Xiyu! Xiyu: Xi, the sun; Yu, demeanor. As for "Murong", the book clearly mentions it as "sky", and later also mentions "Wuhanxu" as "scorching sun". (That's why it's good to be imaginary. It's whatever the self-created language says) On the whole, this name means "the sun in the sky" or "the sun is shining brightly". But Mu Yang had another story. Thousands of miles away from Mu Yang, the envious geese can return home. This sentence really explains Murong Xiyu very thoroughly. The specifics will not be spoiled, but as for where the "township" is, it depends on the author's follow-up. —————————————— Waiwai ended, and the two of them were packed away together.
