Sometimes I often wonder what we are reading books for, and I don't know when the essence of our reading is quietly changing, and it may not happen, but since I have come to this node - "Breaking the Universe" to stabilize the top of the library pavilion, I once again fell into deep contemplation. What exactly are we reading novels for?

In fact, since about 20 years ago, online fiction has begun to take root in our country, and it is true that the Bronze Age of online literature is still talked about by many readers, authors, including me. At that time, what we pursued when reading books was also very simple, that is, simply to relax, at that time, we would not be like now, staring at the details of a novel and chewing words - when we saw that the writing was a little unpleasant, we began to attack the author in the book review area,—— so under the influence of such an environment, the total number of new books published in China and the number of readers have plummeted year after year.

Since the establishment of the Chinese website of Reading World, I have seen countless talented authors break out of the cocoon and display their literary brilliance on the Internet, providing readers with rich and interesting reading content, while also shaping China into the world's largest original online literature market!

But when we look at it at this time, we are looking at it on a U-turn. Once again, returning to the original heart of each of us, what is the original origin of our reading novels, and what is the initial touch?

Perhaps in the face of such an answer, everyone has their own different understandings and opinions. But I want to ask you here, isn't the purpose of reading novels just for a "relaxation", not just for a "cool"?

Speaking of which, it reminds me of a question asked me by a friend some time ago. He asked me, which of the seven wonders of China do you think is the most popular among readers?

When I saw this question at that time, the first thing that came to my mind was "Daqin Fengyun".

After that, he asked me another question, do you think "Daqin Fengyun" is Xiaobaiwen?

To be honest, I was obviously stunned after seeing this question. Is "Da Qin Fengyun" a small white text? How is it possible, the author of this book is the representative work of the eight-star great writers of the Chinese Empire, and it is a great work that has influenced several eras. I didn't even dare to think about this question before I had to give an answer.

After ending the conversation with this friend, I also asked myself for a long time. I read the Seven Wonders of China one by one again, and then went back to see what this friend had said to me.

Indeed, compared to the achievements in the field of literature. "Daqin Fengyun" really can't be compared with a work like "Mirage Dream". Even "Daqin Fengyun" is mixed with too many personal feelings of the author Wu Guanzhong in many setting points, especially if you compare "Daqin Fengyun" with "Daqin Fengyun" written by Chen Shouting, a famous historian of the new dynasty, there are many inconsistencies and extremely unreasonable places.

After talking about the setting of "Daqin Fengyun", let's go back to the writing aspect. Not to mention the comparison between "Daqin Fengyun" and "Mirage Dream", which is also known for its writing in the Seven Great Wonder Books, even if it is compared with those super platinum authors who are famous for their writing and rigorous settings in the online literature industry, the writing of "Daqin Fengyun" is difficult to compare.

Like this book, the setting is full of loopholes, and the writing is slightly rough. If we look at it from our current perspective, it is very easy to be buried by other works. But in this way, it has not been buried in the long river of history, but has become more and more dazzling after the baptism of the years. So much so that "Daqin Fengyun" has become the most widely circulated book among Chinese people in the world.

Now I hope that the netizens who read my post are asking themselves a question in their hearts.

"What was our original intention when we read online articles?"

"What did we initially pursue when we read online articles?"

Dark Ages, November 20, 2010

——————————————————————

Although the ID of the Dark Age has not appeared on major Internet forums for many years, this has reduced his influence in the slightest, after all, when it comes to the Chinese online literature industry, the dark age as the founder will always be an unavoidable topic, talking about the most brilliant Bronze Age in the online literature industry, the era of wasteland. The Dark Ages are also a topic that cannot be avoided.

Therefore, as soon as this article titled "Our Original Origin" was released on the Longkong Forum, it immediately attracted the attention of countless netizens, authors, and editors. For a while, both the number of replies and reprints easily exceeded the 100,000 mark. Countless netizens couldn't help but fall into contemplation after reading this post titled "Our Initial Origin".

"What was the purpose of reading the novel in the first place?"

After a short period of contemplation, I saw that the number of replies below this post was also refreshing with a blowout-like growth posture.

First floor: "After so many years of diving in the Dark Ages, today it is finally a simple person, and I quickly grabbed the sofa." ”

"10th Floor: To be honest, after reading this post about the Dark Ages. I also began to ask myself, what was the initial joy of reading the novel in the first place? Maybe it's like the Dark Ages say, just to relax, just for a cool word. ”

130th floor: "Supporting the Dark Ages, yes, isn't it very simple for us to read novels in the first place?" If nothing else, the ring matches of "The Only One in the World" and "Breaking the World" are enough to explain everything, right? Don't mention the scumbag of the madman in the world who cheated and swiped the votes, just saying that "Dou Po Huanyu" won the champion of the Library Pavilion in less than three days, and the number of works collected has exceeded 100,000, nothing is more convincing than data, right? ”

460 floor: "The language of the dark ages is still somewhat one-sided, not to mention that other literary and youth-style novels can dominate the online literary world for decades, it is not all unreasonable, and the strength is there." Not to mention other super platinum writers who are still active in the online literature industry with more than seven stars, how many of them are small white writers like "Breaking the Universe"? The numbers speak for themselves~! ”

2732F: "What is the purpose of reading books, reading books is not to find guilt for yourself in the future." Anyway, Uncle Ben reads a book just to draw a cool word, and I don't care about anything else that doesn't write at all. At least the book "Breaking the Universe" is very enjoyable to read. ”

“....”

Wang Wenhui's post was like an atomic bomb, which instantly set off a big wave of rendering in the entire online literature industry. It kicked off the war between Xiaobaiwen and Wen Qingwen later.
