A Glimpse into Historical Texts
历史文一窥
The taste of historical literature will change greatly with different stages of life. I would like to briefly recommend a few historical texts that I have read to inspire others.
1晚唐浮生
Lonely Mike
AD 878, the fifth year of Qianfu reign of Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty. This year, Wang Xianzhi died in battle against Huang Mei, and his tribe elected Huang Chao as the leader, named General Soaring Heaven, and moved to the south to fight. In this year, Li Keyong killed Duan Wenchu, the envoy of the Datong army. The father and son launched a rebellion, and Shatuo soldiers and horses raided Hedong. This year, thieves in the south of the Yangtze River began to appear in large numbers and captured all the prefectures and counties. This year, Henan suffered from continuous drought and locusts, and the soldiers caused chaos. This year, Xizong played cockfights and ignored the government affairs. This year, the Tang Dynasty was in turmoil. This year, Shao Shude, who traveled through time from later generations, had his own ideals. He wants to climb high and look far away, and see thousands of lights; he wants to visit mountains and rivers, and see pastoral songs. He wants children to grow strong, he wants women to be protected from humiliation, and he wants old people to have a good death. He wants to end this troubled world.

In a world where warlords are at war, warriors are in charge. This author likes to create warriors, but not traditional warriors, but warriors who incorporate the benevolence, justice and tenderness of modern people. Such people are simply unique in such troubled times. Even if they don't have the halo of the protagonist, they will definitely make a career. Although the relationship between men and women is a little immature, it is still interesting. In other books, the main protagonist is the mind, supplemented by force (even with intelligence and technology). This book goes in the opposite direction and is worth a read. Just like a beggar's chicken, inside the soil is slender, juicy and tender honey flesh.
2铁血残明
Ke Shanmeng
In the late Ming Dynasty, Spain and Japan gradually restricted the outflow of silver. The Ming Dynasty's capital inflow since the early sixteenth century had been reversed. The Ming Dynasty's coexisting commodity economy and small-scale peasant economy suffered the impact of deflation at the same time. Combined with the influence of Xiao Glacier, the dominoes of the troubled times continue to fall one after another. In November of the sixth year of Chongzhen, the rogue bandits crossed the Mianchi River southward, bursting out like ulcers and sweeping across the Central Plains. In the seventh year of Chongzhen, the Hou Jin army, which had been raging in the north for more than ten years, swept across Xuanda, and it was like entering an uninhabited land. The Ming Dynasty, which had been in existence for nearly three hundred years, was in turmoil. The protagonist arrives at this time and becomes a small slave in Tongcheng County, South Zhili. The story begins with a dead mouse rising into the sky.

Although the late Ming Dynasty (Ke Shanmeng's previous work) is good, there is still residual light. (It seems to be updating slowly) The little man's struggles and coughing up blood, and the vast oceans of the times are all gathered in one book. This book explores more about the multi-faceted nature of human beings, the madness of troubled times and the deep desire for good in human nature. It is recommended that you read this book after reading many other historical novels about the late Ming Dynasty. It will reveal the hidden confusion in your heart after reading those novels. The real gray makes people think. Disadvantages of the book: It is slow to update, and some readers may not be comfortable with the beginning. It's really a good pot of tea, with a hint of bitterness that takes your mind back to that era. You will definitely gain something when you come back to your senses.
3Shao Song
History绍宋
Grenades Are Afraid Of Water
The first one is called "continuation"; the second one is called "guidance". In 1127 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty fell. Immediately, Zhao Gou, the ninth son of the emperor, ascended the throne in Shangqiu amid great expectations, inherited the Song Dynasty, and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Jianyan. However, within three months, Li Gang was dismissed as prime minister, Chen Dong was killed, Yue Fei was expelled from the army, Zongze was abandoned in Tokyo, and the anti-gold arrangements in Hebei were completely dismantled... After so many efforts, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty finally unified their thinking and established a glorious anti-golden route to support Zhao Guan's family in moving south to Huaidian and then to Yangzhou. But as soon as he set off, after paying homage to Taoist ancestors at Mingdao Palace in Bozhou, Zhao Guanjia fell headlong into the world-famous Nine Dragon Well. When he got up, he didn't recognize who his confidant was! I want to resist gold! But where are my confidants? ! This is a sincere cry from the soul nine hundred years later. After he had no choice but to inherit the name of the Song Dynasty, he wanted to lead the court and the world to a new path. Therefore, it is called Shaosong.

The only two works by the same author in this list are selected for discussion (because it is difficult for an author to make major changes in historical writing style, but this one is a partial departure) This book has the same heroic spirit as Overturning the Han, but it has a completely different effect. If a general is heroic, he must be able to correct chaos and become an emperor by clearing the country; And if an emperor is heroic, he must be a figure like Alexander the Hero King, a figure that is followed: But the author is too ambitious. He wants to go one step further and make the protagonist a person who reforms the world's hearts and pursues equality. This is not wrong, but this contradicts the past events of the King of Heroes, so he feels disconnected. Therefore, the protagonist ends up like a person trapped in a golden Buddha statue. No one in this era knows what he wants. Of course it is still the ceiling in imperial historical novels - creating a king worthy of following. Just like cabbage in boiling water, it must be gorgeous on the outside but great on the inside. In the end, it is inevitable to be high-spirited and mediocre.
4Overthrow the Han Dynasty
History覆汉
Grenades Are Afraid Of Water

The protagonist of a historical novel must have a spirit, whether it is madness, ambition or domineering. During the Overthrow of the Han Dynasty, someone once commented that the heroic spirit was vivid on the page, and what he said was true. If you are tired of reading generally entertaining historical novels with male protagonists, I highly recommend reading this book. It is extremely sharp and the description of the atmosphere in which you know you can't do something but you can't do it is a masterpiece. What Grenade is best at is writing pictures and using pictures to highlight people's heroic appearance. So what is the shortcoming of this book... When the hero is too heroic, he sometimes likes to overwhelm others with his righteousness, which inevitably makes him seem short of breath. Have you ever had fresh sashimi wrapped in wasabi? One sip is very refreshing and refreshing, but you may not be able to tolerate the spiciness.

Wang Zijun
Back in the late Ming Dynasty, he became a slave. As an emperor, beggars can do it, slaves can do it, bandits can do it, but domestic slaves can't do it?

Late Ming Dynasty New Texts The author incorporates his very strong three views into the work, Donglin destroyed the Ming Dynasty and the Manchus closed the country. In this era of ethnic conflicts, conflicts between upper and lower classes, and the collapse of the bureaucracy, if you want to change the world, you must have your own ideas. So is this book good? At first glance, there are all kinds of emotions, but at second glance... The inconsistencies in the concept of Datong are all covered up by the halo of the protagonist. In fact, it is quite consistent with the "need and want" point of enjoyment, but if you think about it carefully, the operation is actually wishful thinking. But it's a good idea to be strong-willed. It's like a hot hot pot, with a variety of ingredients. It's extremely spicy after one bite. The physical discomfort after eating will vary from person to person.

It does not focus on the overall narrative, but uses a unit drama similar to that of a small family, focusing on the portrayal of each character's personality. This book depicts the characters in details to reflect the era of the early Han Dynasty. Although some character portrayals have a strong subjective color of the author, it is precisely because of this that the whole work is integrated, and the meaning of family and world is very strong. For example, if you make a very delicious steamed bun, many people will like it, and even those who are picky will admit that it is a good food that can fill their stomachs.

San Chi, the author who writes about the romance of ancient elegant scholars to the extreme. If the reader is personally interested in Yangchun Baixue, it is easy for him to get deeply involved and unable to extricate himself. Merry, Merry, still Merry. But it is undeniable that the arrogance inherent in the culture of scholar-bureaucrats can easily make people feel that prosperity has come to nothing... Just like a literati dish like Wensi Tofu, it looks very elegant, but after eating it, I always feel a little disappointed.
8Daming Wusha
History大明乌纱
Strong West Wind
Before and after the start of the Great Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens in Jianzhou rose rapidly, domestic military force declined, land annexation and natural disasters continued to unrest, party disputes intensified after the country's struggle, and the dynasty was in turmoil. At this time, the emperor is addicted to carpentry, and the eunuchs with fake hands kill ministers. Who can figure out the mystery... An unlucky time traveler was beaten by the natives; a small civil servant who should have died did not die. The butterfly effect is coming, and where will history go?

I don't recommend this work, I recommend it because of the strong wind from the west. Not much to say, this is a masterpiece that has written "History, Love, Conquest" to a very high level, but its thinking about history is basically superficial. Just like dessert, it is delicious, but it will be a bit boring if you eat too much.

My introductory historical novel. Admittedly, this novel has many shortcomings. It is a middle-of-the-road novel in the entire historical literature circle, but it can be regarded as satisfying the basic requirements of a cool historical novel. Most of the books by the author Gao Yue are like this, with a complete dominance route, supplemented by a certain beauty YY, plus a little halo of the protagonist, and not much in-depth historical discussion. It is mediocre in all aspects but suitable for newcomers to enter the series. His few Sui and Tang Dynasty books are also based on the same template, there are no huge pit works, they are pretty good street snacks.
