For Fellow Readers, and That's All
I've been reading for 10 years, and even wrote a flop of a novel along the way. Life keeps me busy, so I never managed to finish it. Now I read for fun whenever I have some free time. These recommendations are based entirely on my personal taste. I'm in a reading slump lately, so does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks! P.S. I never spoil anything in my recommendations, I just share my impressions. I've been trying too many duds lately. Does anyone have any good books to recommend? P.S. If

Hello author, I really enjoyed your novel "Zhu Ming". I don't know why you stopped writing it. If I were to pay you 20,000 yuan to finish "Zhu Ming", would you consider it? If so, please contact me!
A Magnificent Chapter
I listened to three pieces of music today, especially "Xiang Wang Xing," a magnificent chapter of a prosperous era. Only the glorious Tang Dynasty deserves this piece. I've been reading Bai Juyi's books since Shunming, and I wish his new book great success!
Gao Xianzhi's campaign against Little Bolu
In 737 AD, the Tibetan Empire launched a military campaign against Little Bolu (present-day Kashmir) and married a princess to its king, hoping to seize control of Little Bolu, sever Central Asia's connection with the Tang Dynasty, and establish dominance over Central Asia. To regain control of Central Asia, they first needed to reclaim Little Bolu.
The writing is excellent, but the parts about brewing and performing are quite uninteresting. Aside from the fact that these two parts are historically inaccurate (distilled spirits existed in the Han Dynasty, and singing was considered a lowly profession), the plot itself is severely detached from the main storyline. This kind of writing style was already commonplace a decade ago and lacks any real appeal.
Let's start a crowdfunding campaign to beat up the author! All sorts of unfinished works 😁
The protagonist is portrayed like a saint! There's no sense of identification with the character.
The writing is too drawn out, and the section on Chang'an is too long. The book's two main objectives are managing Anxi, expanding into Central Asia, and eyeing Eastern Europe; it's not about putting on a show.
Fun fact: The western borders of the Tang Dynasty reached as far as the Dead Sea; Aladdin, the protagonist of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, was a Tang Dynasty figure.
When I saw the protagonist was going to fight for musicians' freedom, I was completely baffled. Did the protagonist even do any research? First, do these musicians actually want freedom? What percentage of them do? Second, how will they survive after gaining freedom? Will they be able to maintain a stable livelihood? Third, can they continue to improve their musical skills after gaining freedom?
My favorite author, "The Great Ming Warrior," was banned for some reason.
