Like a Murmuring Stream, Almost Soundless
As the saying goes, a lesser recluse hides in the wilderness, while a true recluse can hide among the stones, amid the noise and bustle. Staying calm amid the clamor, steadfast in your original purpose, is rare and precious. The stories we browse and the books we read grow under those same conditions. That's no easy feat, so let's treasure every book, starting with me.

Sand That Slips Through Your Fingers
Raise a cup and sing: how brief is life! Like morning dew, the days gone by are many. My heart is stirred, my worries hard to forget. What can dispel my sorrow? Only wine. Your blue collar lingers in my thoughts. For your sake, I’ve pondered day and night. The deer call softly, nibbling wild greens. I have honored guests; I’ll play the zither and flute.

Was it all the eunuch faction persecuting people? Shouldn't the Donglin faction have been in power during the Chongzhen era?
From the moment I was recommended the book "The Mad King of the Ming Dynasty," I was drawn in by its unique title and subject matter. Watching the Mad King gradually mature and reach his full potential, the writing flowed smoothly, filled with humor and delight. I hope that through the author's pen, the Mad King can continue to advance, reaching the pinnacle of madness. Oh, there is no pinnacle, only ever-rising higher!
I'm not exaggerating, the Mad King of the Ming Dynasty is absolutely unique among novels set in the Ming Dynasty. Who would have thought that the protagonist, a prince of the Ming Dynasty, would use just the right amount of "madness" to highlight his personality? It's so hilarious to read. I really admire the author for being able to bring the protagonist's character to life; you can really picture it.
Is the protagonist stupid? He's already very strong, but he insists on hiding, afraid of attracting attacks from three sides. You've been doing this for so many years, and loyal ministers and generals have been killed one after another. You still want to hide and let the court attract the main force of the Jurchens. The Jurchens haven't been weakened much even after the Ming Dynasty fell.
After reading five chapters, I feel like I'd have to throw my brain away if I continued reading.
After reading the comments, I realized a bunch of people have been misled, arguing about the Donglin Party, the eunuch faction, and so on. The truth is, the entire civil service group collapsed. The best solution at the end of the Ming Dynasty was truly to organize peasant uprisings, seize land from the wealthy and distribute it to the poor, and even then, a bit of special influence was needed. Don't judge an entire group based on the performance of a few individuals.
Books favored by angry young people are enjoyable to read and easy to get carried away with, but they also contain a lot of mindless fantasies and are too aggressive. A friendly reminder to pay attention to your mental and physical health.
How much fertile land did Xu Jie's hometown have during the Ming Dynasty? The infamous "Water Too Cold" incident also originated from the Donglin Party. How many members of the Donglin Party defected to the enemy? How did Yuan Chonghuan die? The Donglin Party seized fertile land in local areas, refused to pay taxes, forcing the emperor to demand money from his ministers.
It's a pretty good book. The premise of a prince transmigrating into another body and feigning madness is something I've never seen before. First of all, the premise is quite novel. Then, while reading, I would sometimes put myself in the prince's shoes and think about what I would do in that situation. I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't come up with anything. So I think the author handled it very well.
After three chapters, the author issued a statement saying he wasn't crazy. So, the author went insane after reading just three chapters, earning him the nickname "Crazy Zhang the Third."
