Xi Jin: the Afterglow of the Han Dynasty

99% Of the Three Kingdoms novels on the market revolve around the struggles for hegemony between the emperors, ministers, advisors, and generals of Wei, Shu, Wu, and Wu. Even from an unpopular perspective, they cannot escape the framework of a "three-party game." The core of this story is the "Fu Xilang" of the Han Dynasty who has clear institutional records in official history but has never been taken as the protagonist's perspective - this humble official who is in charge of the national jade seal and personally experienced the entire process of the collapse of imperial power in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but has an official rank of only 600 shi and whose full name cannot even be recorded in the official history. All the plots are tightly embedded in the official historical timeline of "Book of the Later Han" and "Three Kingdoms". There is no magical modification of history or cheating. The protagonist's life is completely embedded in the gaps of official history, making readers believe that "there really is such a person in history." I don't write about the struggle for hegemony or the fun, I just write about "the death of a dynasty". The story focuses on the core 30 years from the death of Emperor Ling to the Zen Dynasty of Han, Wei, and the Han Dynasty. Through the perseverance and disillusionment of a seal keeper, it describes the complete collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty's orthodoxy. It uses "keeping the seal" as the only main line to describe the subversion of "loyalty" and "orthodoxy" by small people in the great era. It breaks away from the inherent logic of "winners and losers" inherent in the story of the Three Kingdoms, and has a strong sense of historical significance and literary quality.
