The mountains and rivers are paper, the poems are the boats; the nine states are the road, and the rest of life is the sequence.
"Fenglan Travels" is a two-person literary and historical novel with the Chinese mountains and rivers as the context and classical Ci Pai as the style. The style is regular and can be serialized infinitely, forming a complete literary system of its own.
The whole book is a long-term journey between two people: Qin Feng is good at writing lyrics on the spot, and combines the scenery of the four seasons into rhyme; Xiao Lan is an expert in researching ancient books, checking ancient steles, checking local records, and identifying the authenticity of poems and proses along the way. The two get along calmly, neither close nor distant, and their expression of emotion through writing and the study of ancient history complement each other, creating a restrained, tacit understanding and long-lasting affection unique to literati.
The work is original with "one place, one rhythm, one region, one poetic heart": the Beijing fireworks are accompanied by short orders, the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River are graceful, the vast lakes and mountains are spread out in long lines, and the snowy desert is bold and unrestrained. As the north and south latitudes change, the four seasons change, and the mountains, rivers, winds and moons each have their own unique rhymes.
The book is divided into volumes according to Kyushu, starting from the Summer Palace in Beijing and visiting the south of the Yangtze River, the Central Plains, Bashu, the Western Regions, and the Snowy Region. During the journey, the academic rigor is also full of fireworks, the literary and historical debates are full of wit, the daily details are gentle, and the feelings are never clear, but they are all hidden in the years of companionship with word-for-word scrutiny and appreciation of the same scenery.
Each chapter is set up with five closed text loops: real-life travel notes, on-the-spot word writing, word modification records, word finalization, and literary and historical appreciation, integrating scene description, word writing, textual research, and empathy into one.
Thousands of mountains and rivers are all footnotes of pen and ink, and the wind and moon of the four seasons are the prologue of the human world. Qin Feng writes about the elegance of mountains and rivers, while Xiao Lan confirms the history of ancient and modern times. The two are each other's life-long poets, walking together in mountains and rivers, walking together year after year.
