Southern Tang Dynasty Red Makeup Sword

The court of the Southern Tang Dynasty set up a "sword weapon workshop" to teach sword dancing openly for feasting and secretly raised dead soldiers to defend the royal family. The female swordsman Xie Qingwu is the leader of the workshop. Sword dance is both an art and a killing technique. After the fall of Shu, the swordsmith Meng Zhao fled into the Southern Tang Dynasty with the secret technique of "Thunder and Fire in Shu". This technique can create rockets and firearms, which is enough to change the pattern of water warfare, attracting the Song army's detailed operations, the Southern Tang Dynasty's main war and peace factions, and local powerful forces to compete for it. Xie Qingwu was ordered to escort Meng Zhao from Jinling to Runzhou and then to Hongzhou, walking between the singing of poems and the light and shadow of swords. The monarchs and ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty indulged in writing and writing, and the army was decayed and difficult to support. Xie Qingwu gradually understood that she was protecting not only the secret technique, but also the last character of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The Song army broke through the city, Li Yu surrendered, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed. Xie Qingwu performed a sword dance on the Qinhuai River to sacrifice his country, and then carried the fire south to the sea, leaving a glimmer of light for civilization in a desperate situation. The whole book integrates sword dance, firearms, word cards and calligraphy. In the apocalyptic prosperity of Yanshui Jinling, it describes the tragic aesthetics of a dynasty and a woman's survival and choice in troubled times.
