An Uncle Recommends Books
A veteran reader of uncle age. I only recommend books I've checked out and liked, and I post at irregular intervals. Serious recommendations from someone who takes reading seriously. I started reading classic literature in fourth grade, wuxia in eighth grade, spent my college years on Longkong, and bought physical books and read Qidian after I started working. I've kept up a daily reading habit for over twenty years since entering the workforce. I've been around the forums and have plenty of rea
The Song Goes On
Red beans grow in the southern lands, a place now far away. What does longing matter? No one cares anymore. Drunk, I lie in the city that never sleeps, neon lights everywhere. In my wine glass, such an overflowing sea of passion. Most readily forgotten are the poems of old. What I look down on most is longing. I guard this love, afraid people will laugh, and afraid they’ll see through me. Spring comes again, and the red beans bloom, but no lover comes to pick them. Fireworks embrace the wind,

10 Coins on the first floor, capped at Alliance Leader!
As the title suggests, I hope my cousin can make a breakthrough this time and not stay in his comfort zone. Constantly dancing with swords is indeed great, but it gets tiring after a while; farming and developing are also necessary.
Authors with obvious strengths and weaknesses
While capable of depicting intrigue and scheming, the author struggles with grand political maneuvering. Small-scale, desperate struggles are well-written, but large-scale conquests and developments are weak. The author excels at sketching characters to highlight their traits, but falls short in developing their inner worlds and transformations, resulting in a superficial portrayal of characters…
Didn't I say I'd never write history again? Why am I back? Let it go, and let history books go too. I can handle another fifty years.
Serudo, my dear Serudo, we miss you. 🙂
Yan Jianfei: Questioning the Authenticity of the "South First, North Later" Unification Strategy in the Early Song Dynasty, 2509-094 (Issue No. 3211), Originally published in *Studies on Song Dynasty Culture*, Vol. 34.
Sharing a summary of Mr. Yan Jianfei's latest article: In Song Dynasty history research, the early Song Dynasty is one of the most researched areas, yet also the period with the fewest historical materials. The limited historical materials make it easier for scholars to grasp the historical development of this period, but also make it more susceptible to preconceived notions, thus obscuring the…
Doesn't my cousin dislike writing historical articles?
I remember that behind the stage, Biao Longji tearfully said that he didn't like writing historical fiction, didn't like time travel, and didn't like farming; he wanted to write fantasy and about human nature. How did he end up writing history again? Really? Really?
I just want to see how many 50-year periods there are.
I used to recommend "The End of the Song Dynasty" and "The Full Tang Dynasty" everywhere, but just because I mentioned in one chapter that the female lead's IQ fluctuated, my post was deleted and I was banned. Even now, my responses to the ban are evasive. Haha, I think I'll try again to see if I can get 50 years of good fortune.
The Five Dynasties period was a time of petty glories, so much so that historical records were reluctant to write more about it. It was a time of constant killing, disorder, and cannibalism.
The beginning was a mess, completely illogical.
I'm making this a pledge: this book will definitely fall apart in the later stages!!!! My cousin can only write about conspiracies and intrigues, like the absurd tactic of a few thousand people defending Chang'an. It sounds exciting, but it's practically impossible. He can't write anything righteous or straightforward.
