A Springtime in the Tang Dynasty

Modern jewelry-making techniques, purely technically speaking, cannot compare to those of the masters of the past—that's absolutely true. Aside from more advanced tools, higher efficiency, and more creativity, there's really nothing else. The protagonist's character being portrayed as a master craftsman is inappropriate, so I don't recommend it.

This was so bad I had to write a review. I suggest those with low tolerance for emotional distress avoid it; there are depressing moments throughout. I don't know what the author was thinking; they couldn't even write a satisfying, lighthearted story.

Luckily I searched it on Baidu, otherwise I would have been poisoned to death.

He died from poisoning. 😰

The author is not very good at literature or history, yet he still writes historical articles, including Song Dynasty reign titles and ministers in Tang Dynasty poems.

Seeing "Qinyuan Garden Snow," I couldn't resist. Would an ordinary person dare to copy the poems of the founding emperor? And then have the whole audience applaud? Would an ordinary businessman dare to speak ill of an emperor? Of all the "Qinyuan Spring" poems, why copy this one? Or was it just the only one he knew how to write? He died of poisoning.

What I found most unbearable was the part where Uncle Cui made Liu Yuan marry Meng Yao. It felt like his IQ was being rubbed into the ground. First of all, let's set aside whether Liu Yuan knew whether Uncle Cui had misunderstood that he had slept with someone else's daughter. How could you accept being a cuckold and becoming a father unjustly? The author is asking you if you can accept this???

In the early Tang Dynasty and before, scholars mostly came from aristocratic families. Children from humble backgrounds rarely had the opportunity to study; they relied on these families for support. These aristocratic families kept their books strictly within their own clans, ensuring that officials were from the five most powerful families, thus maintaining control of the government.

It's a complete mess. Governor Cui calls Cui Jing his third uncle, so how come Cui Jing's daughter is now his niece? The whole book is incoherent and nonsensical... A poorly written work.

I've read 54 chapters, and it gets increasingly toxic starting from chapter 40 onwards; the writing gets worse and worse. Readers who want to continue reading should take note.
