Back to 1895: I Cast a Daily Fortune

This book spends too much time on survival in a mountain village. There are too many trivial things about mountain villages. If it were 10 years ago, there might be many readers, but it is not so easy now. From a practical point of view, except for the northeast, the north should be all bare at that time. It was not easy to obtain wild goods in mountain villages, and it was not realistic for a family of five to live. After reading the novel now, I don't know what the author's main plot is? Daily survival writing? Anti-Qing hero? In 1895, the Sino-Japanese War of 1895 was defeated. At this point in time, the Manchu rulers' attempt to save themselves finally failed. Revolutionaries immediately launched a wave of efforts to save China. In the face of this most exciting era, the protagonist was still hunting in a small mountain village.

Looking at old photos, you can see that there were few trees in the Qing Dynasty and the mountains were all bald. Because wood was needed for construction, fuel, and manufacturing, including the military, so all kinds of photos show bald spots everywhere. Even Badaling in Beijing is completely bald. Soil erosion is very serious. In addition, ordinary people have to kneel when they see officials, and they are the kind who cannot raise their heads. Gentlemen also have to kneel when they see them, unless they have merit.

In the ravine, you don't need to tell fortunes to know what is unlucky! No one can become rich in the mountains and valleys! Only short-lived poor people will emerge from the ravines. There is no need for fortune telling in the ravine. This golden finger is completely meaningless in this setting. Therefore, this is the fatal flaw of this book! The poor go to big cities to make a living and work hard, hoping to get ahead, so they need to judge good or bad luck, and the golden finger of fortune-telling is very useful.

Now that I see it, I don't know what you are going to write.
