Yun Songling

Before I clicked on this book, I thought it was just an ordinary fairy tale novel. It was the story of Chang Ling going down the mountain to slay demons, performing chivalrous acts of justice, playing dungeons one after another, falling in love, and then confronting the mastermind behind the scenes to finally restore a clear world. But when I really watched it, I realized that it was different. The story at the foot of Buyun Ruins in "Yun Song Ling" was a story that really existed. Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism deviated from its original intention at that time and was used to restrict the words and deeds of ancient women. They were forced to live in inner houses, were forced to break their foot bones and put them into three-inch golden lotus, and were even oppressed by social concepts to commit suicide by throwing themselves into a well for their fiancés. A bright and bright life finally turned into a solemn chastity arch. In the days before she met Changling, Sister Cheng was more like a microcosm of those women. Fortunately, she broke through these constraints in the end, and the ice that hindered her progress formed by old ideas and habits in her was melted by her. She dared to stand up in the hall to argue with ethics, and dared to go out and get the business route she had always wanted to do. Yu Qiuyu once mentioned in the article about the archway that those who robbed the tomb dug up the tomb of the woman who erected the archway, but found that it was empty and the person was missing. Many years later, the closed small mountain village welcomed a school and a female teacher, and he walked out of the thawed mountain village. Yunsongling is a story about searching for the Six Souls, a story about eliminating demons and ghosts, but it also tells a story about people being bound and frozen at that time. It was a real human world, with fiery prosperity and frozen sediments. Chang Ling will gradually see what this world is like, and people like Sister Cheng who are frozen in ice will also embark on the journey of thawing.

The process of Su Changling's search for the Six Souls was also the process of her rediscovering and reaccepting herself. Everyone in the book is just like us in reality, with imperfections of one kind or another, facing difficulties and shackles imposed by the times, others and themselves. Through repeated trials, they gradually find their own Taoist heart, see their own position clearly, and accept their seven emotions and six desires. My favorite character in the book is Sister Cheng. I couldn't help but cry when I read her words when she was beaten to a bloody pulp with a French stick and when she encouraged Mr. Shen to get rid of his inner demons. The brave and determined Sister Cheng can be said to be the epitome of countless women in ancient and modern times who have struggled with fate. The feudal era has gone far away. The sword has smashed the bluestone archway, but the archway in people's hearts is still vague. Because there are countless people like Sister Cheng, the archways in the hearts of countless people will eventually be knocked down one by one in the future.
