Urban Fiction, Entertainment, and Transmigration: The Best Picks
1. My main focus is urban and entertainment-industry fiction, with some historical, sci-fi, and spacefaring stories, as well as the occasional indescribable masterpiece. Xuanhuan, cultivation, and immortal-demon fiction rarely make this list. That’s just my personal taste. 2. I often browse other people’s lists too. Whenever I see a book I love recommended by lots of readers, I’m happy, but also a little intimidated. I can only work harder to avoid repeating the great books already on everyone e

I have been saving up the update for a long time, thinking it would be fun to watch it, but I didn't expect to see the finale as soon as I watched it. This book is the first-class historical online article in my mind. It is not an article about fighting for hegemony. It is not an article about fighting every day. It is not an article about farming, and it is not an article about science and technology. It is not about cannons and machine guns. Since it is a historical text, there should not be too much modern civilization appearing in the book. I like its antique color. It satisfies all my fantasies about history and literature. There are intrigues in temples and palaces, but also the love between children in life; Of course, good writing is indispensable for a good book. Coupled with the occasional classical writing and quotations from classics, it is really admirable.
I see that everyone feels that the protagonist has not taken advantage of time travel. Do a thousand people have a thousand Hamlets? Seeking common ground while reserving differences comes first, but I would like to share my personal feelings. There are many articles about time travel, including farming flow, technology flow, and hegemony flow. But why do most of them talk in general and empty words, and after reading them, there is no benefit? Because it has not been raised to the level of thought, it is just a matter-of-fact discussion. The main line of the article is the history that changes with the development of time. Wen Kui is different. His main line is under history, which is how traditional Chinese philosophical thought further developed. This is the reason why I think Mr. Xingfu ranks first in the historical area after the Three Idiots. There were obvious gaps in Chinese classical philosophy during the Qing Dynasty, but Wenkui's time was in an era when scholar-bureaucrats still had the backbone and courage to think, and they connected with the handover of China's local philosophy. Xiao Linzi's time travel is to collide and exchange modern Western philosophical theories, Marxist theories, etc. With China's long-standing Confucian philosophical thoughts. This matter is the continuation of the context and the continuation of the sage's unique knowledge. This is truly meaningful and separates from the advantages of ordinary historical online articles. Not to mention the wonderful political struggle. There's so much to say, but the most important thing is actually the last sentence: Why don't you update your happiness!
The one on the history of the party and the country counts as one, and the one on elegant and elegant works counts as one. The two brightened up for a while. However, Yasao wrote it until it ended with the No. 1 Scholar, while this one started with the No. 1 Scholar. However, the emotional drama of Yasao is better. The emotional drama of this book is too bad. It lacks the charm of ancient romance and forced a single female protagonist, and the female protagonist is not outstanding. It's not that I like the harem, but the heroine seems dispensable without her aura, and without the trivial matters in the mansion, it would be tiring to watch all the factions in the court. Sometimes it's a good way to read another book about famous families in the Ming Dynasty. The latter is more interested in family affairs.
How many chapters will be good? I was so addicted when I read it earlier. I felt that the protagonist was acting with the arrogance of modern people. The protagonist himself said that he is not proud, but in the chapters I read, there is no one who does not rely on his talents and is arrogant. He often looks down on the teacher and disrespects others. Did the author deliberately write it like this to show the protagonist's immaturity or is it like this later on? I can't resist it.
Happiness is really well written. Daming Wenkui is my favorite historical text, bar none. Happiness is also the author with the best writing skills in history in my mind. Daming Wenkui stayed with me throughout the university and also taught me a lot about Chinese Confucianism. Concepts and thoughts, now I have graduated, Chaozi has also graduated from fighting monsters all the way. Looking back on my youth is really sad. I read it from the beginning many times when I was bored waiting for updates. Every time I have a new reading experience, unlike other articles that I feel tired after reading them once. Taste, Chaozi always gives me new experiences, whether it is the cleverness and agility of the great leader in the world when he was a teenager, or the outspokenness of the youth, the ability to remonstrate, dare to remonstrate, and the rule of law, which can be called a national worker, or the middle-aged man who wrote books and said that everyone expected him to go out and help each other in danger, every day of Chaozi Every glorious moment left a deep impression in my heart. I read and reread this book several times at every stage. The strange thing is that even though every chapter is familiar, it still doesn't feel boring when I read it again. Happiness' writing power is profound and its conception is exquisite, which is really amazing. The ending is also very good. Although I really don't want to let Wen Kui finish the book, I have to say goodbye eventually. Goodbye Chaozi. I hope your idle life in your later years will be equally wonderful! I feel more regretful that I didn't get a knighthood, hahahaha. I still hope that Chaozi can be knighted as a civil servant. In fact, the qualifications are definitely enough. He pacified Bozhou in Korea, installed the emperor, and assisted the government for many years. However, Chaozi will definitely not ask for it. I feel that the emperor can take the initiative to make a knighthood when he becomes an official. It is also regrettable that there is no writing about Chaozi returning to his hometown, paying homage to his grandfather in fine clothes, and serving his grandfather in full. Filial piety, being loyal to the emperor at court and being filial to the grandfather at home, is also a different kind of life achievement. Chao Zai's grandfather must not have passed away, because there is no Ding You, and our living treasure Yanshou did not appear. Hahahahaha, I miss him a little, but overall I am satisfied and moved. After all, he served as the ruler for fifteen years and the world was ruled, and finally he was given the posthumous title Wenzheng. As a scholar, what else can I ask for! Hahahaha, I also want to ask when Happiness will release a new book? What theme will it be? I'm really looking forward to it. The previous account was 404 and I opened a new account to comment 😁
I feel a little disgusted when I see the back. If Lin Sheng can't live, why can Cang Sheng live? In order to become a saint, do you have to achieve the so-called three immortalities? In order to live up to your virtue and cherish your feathers, you can dress up like an ostrich and wait for the people in Wanli. Don't the young people of the new era who have traveled through time have the courage to be the first in the world and to exercise power over the world to benefit the people? Just leave the merits and demerits to future generations to comment. The fictional protagonists are far inferior to Zhang Juzheng, even worse...
It's so well written that I can't help but sigh. After reading books for more than ten years, this book refreshed my understanding of online novels. The author has a lot of ambitions, and he must break through the road of flexible thinking and move the train of history to the right track. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, theoretical thinking can only stop in the face of royal power, and ethical preaching to the king is far less effective than power. The novel does not attempt to deconstruct the central position of royal power in the universe, but only hopes to add a utilitarian chain to cultural genes so that they can be mutually inclusive with moral rationality. Of course, this cannot be directly introduced into the modern track, but it can make culture self-reinforcing and release more energy, so as not to become a hindrance to social development. Then, through institutional reform, we strive to avoid cyclical political decline and thus escape the fate of being conquered by barbarians. As long as we can open the country in the Age of Discovery and not fall behind, there will be more possibilities for the direction of civilization... The premise of everything is to be based on the culture itself and start from speculating on its existing academic theories to create opportunities for modification. To be able to write about such a country's fate is truly a treasure trove. The fate of Chinese culture, in modern times, first began with the struggle between China and the West, then the struggle between the old and the new, and finally fell into the struggle between justice and home. At this point, we have no choice but to break with tradition and use utopian ideals to pull society as a whole forward. Such a path has been proven effective afterwards. But what if we go back to a time and space period like the late Ming Dynasty? Is it still suitable? The author's book gives a good historical simulation.
Thanks to the author for writing to Linhai
Linhai is the seat of the capital city of Taizhou. Wang Zongmu's family is famous for its "father and son, four Jinshi, and three governors in one family". The Shi Umbrella Alley and Sanfuji in the old city commemorate them. There is also Qin Minglei's Number One Scholar's Mansion. Wang Shixing's hometown is right next to my village. So when I read these recent chapters, I have a special resonance. I don't know if the author has ever been to Linhai Old Town, but I feel that the description of the streets and alleys is very real. Linhai's urban development is very unique. Unlike other places where old buildings are demolished and new ones are built, Linhai is building a new city on the basis of completely preserving the old city. The street pattern of the old city has not changed much from that of the Tang Dynasty. All local residents live in it. Except for resident services, there are no messy businesses. To sum up, it is: streets of the Tang and Song Dynasties, houses of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and modern people. Other netizens from all over the country will have the opportunity to visit Taizhou Fucheng, and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
Preface to "Collection of Mr. Zhang Wenzhong of Taiyue" by Lin Yanchao
*Since the book mentions "the studies of Wang and Zhang", it is speculated that Zhang Juzheng's collection has been published, and Lin Yanchao is most likely to be invited to write the preface. I am not talented, so I will write an article. Welcome to advise! The state has always maintained friendship with its ministers. The manager of Baifan, who rises and falls, rises and rises, is the helper of fortune, and is a symbol of prosperity and rejuvenation! Bing Wei of the Han Dynasty, Yao Song of the Tang Dynasty, and Fan Han of the Song Dynasty. Before my dynasty, there were three Yangs, and those who succeeded me were not as good as the public. This is the public preface of my teacher Zhang Wenzhong. Gongbajuzheng, whose courtesy name is Shuda, and whose name is Taiyue. He started from Ci Lin with a weak title. He has already served Qiandi, revised the history of the country for three times, surveyed and judged daily life, and made great achievements in writing. There is no one who doesn't recognize it! With a general understanding of the changing times, he has the courage to do things. This is the way to move the curtains with the Pearl and the latitude and longitude with the Beidou. Now that I have seen the writings, I learned from Lin Zi Yanchao to read them, Mu Mu Zhaozhao, they are profound and detailed, how sincere and believable they are! At that time, the public was sharp and determined, and the responsibilities were arduous and complex. The great talents praised the management and went in and out of Jiting. He who shoulders great responsibilities without hesitation and generously takes the world as his own responsibility is called Gong! However, the position is heavy and dangerous, the high achievements are tabooed, and the plans are clumsy. Although the loyalty to the country is promised, it is difficult to escape the evildoers and disasters. What a pity! Fortunately, God's grace has cleansed him, his sainthood has increased, he has been praised by the public, and his achievements have been praised again, and the world is praising him. Is this history a blessing? This world is lucky. Gai Gongya held the strategy of the palace and the state, holding the sun and the moon in his hands. He was just like Han Zhongxian and Ce was like Wuhou. He accepted orders from the two dynasties and counted the laws and regulations to cultivate culture. His public trust can be said to be the highest among civil servants! The descendants of today ask for their preface to Yu. It has been fifteen years since I left Ci Ci Museum, and it has also been fifteen years since Farewell. I am not talented, I am busy in my position, and I am truly worthy of the public's expectations. How dare you say you know it when you show off your appearance to the public gathering? The Twenty-fifth Year of Wanli Written by Lin Yanchao, a postgraduate student at Dongge University Note: The examiner of Chaozi's eight-year palace examination was Zhang Juzheng, who can be called a teacher...

Another possibility of history
Mountains and rivers have fallen, scorched earth is everywhere, war is everywhere, devastation is everywhere, massacre, massacre, massacre. This is modern China, and it is also the Ming Dynasty. Someone once said with a smile that if you read modern history in a hurry, you can read about the defeat of the Southern Song Dynasty; if you read the Southern Song Dynasty, you can read about the Southern Ming Dynasty in a hurry. It is both self-explanation and angry words. However, when regrets become history and can no longer be changed, we still can't help but imagine that if we had done a little more at that time, would the final result have been different? Could China today be facing a less difficult situation than it is now? Can our personal destiny be more calm? This kind of fantasy is inevitable, and it is projected into literature in countless novels dating back to the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. "Daming Wenkui" is such a book, serialized for five years, 1,400 chapters, and 3.12 Million words. The first three hundred chapters are about imperial examinations, establishing one's character and cultivating one's character; the last one thousand one hundred chapters are about meritorious service and bringing peace to the world. It is not a traditional cool novel, where all difficulties can be solved by clicking on the golden finger to climb the technology tree. Instead, it is very depressing, because historical materialism tells us that history cannot be changed by one person's talents and strategies. In the face of a sluggish dynasty and a dilapidated and outdated state machine, even the protagonist Lin Yanchao, a scholar from a humble family who achieved a class jump through the imperial examination, is still walking on thin ice and struggling every step. In the fifth year of Wanli, Lin Yanchao won the imperial examination, and the Ming Dynasty died sixty-six years later. What does the imperial examination mean to a modern person who has traveled through time? What does it have to do with yourself whether you will die or not? Lin Yanchao thought so after winning the national examination. Continue to take the exam and then enter the official career; or stop here and become a rich man. He came to the crossroads, at a loss as to what to do. So he returned to social studies, and the teacher taught him his answer. I think this answer is also the answer of this old boy who has been taking exams all his life about "why study": "Confucianism, people need it. If manpower is limited, then Self-cultivation is for one's own needs; if one has strength and wealth, one should be filial to one's parents, take care of one's wife, and love one's children. To maintain order in the family, it is what everyone in the family needs; if there is wealth, one can serve as an official and govern the country for the needs of the people; those who are wise can benefit the world and serve the needs of the people." What everyone can say about "Xiu Qi Zhiping" has been reinterpreted in the simplest language. This small mountain village may be Lin Yanchao's Longchang. He found the "qi" that had been missing in his articles. From this moment on, he was no longer a modern person who traveled through time, but became a scholar in the Wanli period. With the talent and character of a Ming Dynasty, he became a page in history. The plot of the whole book begins with these four words. The foreshadowing is long but cannot be omitted. I think the most exciting part of the book is also here. Saving the Ming Dynasty cannot rely solely on the progress and innovation of productivity and production relations. To persuade those in power (interest groups) to carry out reforms requires words, and words can be used to find rationality for one's actions. The protagonist does not directly use modern ideas and modern values as his signature, but seeks out ancient sages to make a bet for himself. Taking "cultivating Qi and Zhiping" as the starting point, in the social trend of thought dominated by Neo-Confucianism and Xinxue in the late Ming Dynasty, the Yongjia School was rectified, its orthodoxy was corrected, and "merit" was promoted. Making a statement did not happen overnight. Debates between schools of thought, conflicts between different political proposals guided by different ideas, compromises and struggles between officials with different backgrounds, and suspicions between emperors and ministers. Lin Yanchao "danced with shackles" in the system of the late Ming Dynasty. He consistently tried to change the original trajectory with actions that were reasonable and likely to actually happen in history. The author's admirable Confucian foundation and critical thinking ability describe Lin Yanchao's twenty-two years of official career very brilliantly. I admired and hated him while reading it. Because it was reasonable, I hated that no real Lin Yanchao appeared in history and became a shining star in the sky of the twilight dynasty. This book also has the meaning of "New Storytelling", but it is exactly the opposite. It is also a new interpretation. Mr. Lu Xun reconstructed the story to elaborate new ideas, while the author did not change the original intention but applied it to a new story with more details. I am a young man who lives an ordinary life and has no life experience. The famous classics I have read are scattered like clouds, and I have never understood their true meaning. However, this book makes them concrete and illustrates them with specific examples. Looking back on the process of Lin Yanchao's revision of Qi Zhiping, I memorized the opening chapter of "The Great Learning"; when I saw Cao Xuequan defending himself with "Preface to Ma Sheng in Dongyang", I shed tears for this article for the first time; Lao Fuzi, Zhang Guihe, "Xin Jinhuo Chuan"... So many new understandings, so many touches. Thanks to the doorkeeper for bringing this story. I finished reading it on February 27th. I read a few more chapters again and again, and finally wrote down my feelings in the early morning of March 2nd. Goodbye Lin Yanchao, I say goodbye to you in a time and space without you, in a new China on another timeline.
