Chapter 81: The Tide of "Ming" (II)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was released in Taiwan half a month after its launch in Hong Kong.
Then, in just one or two months, the wind of the Ming Dynasty blew all over Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the sales volume reached 5.6 million copies.
Almost everywhere there are people who read "Ming Dynasty" and people who talk about "Ming Dynasty" everywhere. It seems that as soon as "Ming Dynasty" came out, Luoyang paper was expensive. Quite a place, where there is a well, there is the ancient style of the "Ming Dynasty".
Such a popular book in Hong Kong and Taiwan, involving hundreds of historical objects of the Ming Dynasty, spanning more than 3oo years, naturally led to a protracted war of words.
Someone dismissively said: "That is, the story will be level, there is not much academic value, and the subjective tendency is very strict." ”
"The hyped bestsellers, reading them is a waste of time and a waste of life."
"This kind of poisonous Hong Kong and Taiwan, infinitely harmful garbage, should not be released at all." Someone cried out through gritted teeth.
In the face of this kind of naked, naked, and naked accusations of harboring evil intentions, Professor Wang Limin of New Asia College stood up: "A freshman who is still a month short of being 16 years old and a freshman can write such a work, and we should treat it with a tolerant attitude. ”
"There's a lot more history than fiction, and a lot more banter than history."
"In general, it's not bad, the writing attitude is sincere, the language is playful, and it's very good-looking."
Lin Jing is worthy of being the author of three novels, and she also uses a small hand penmanship in this book, but it is more lighthearted and humorous, and incorporates the popular elements of the moment, which are integrated into "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" that readers see now. There is both humor and history, and there is no lack of details and descriptions of the psychology of the characters. For a person who only sees the history of the Ming Dynasty from books, it will be found that the history written by Lin Jing is more interesting and real, and the characters are no longer face-painted, but have their own multifaceted and complex. ”
"I've read this book, and although I don't know how it's written, I always think the author is a very powerful person. I heard that I was still a girl, wow, I really wanted to say, I like you. "There are those who are unconscious and angry.
"Getting more people interested in history is the biggest advantage of this book." Jin Yong said.
Completely different from her previous three works, Miss Lin Jing is very open in this book, both in writing and thinking. You can say it's vulgar, but it's easy to understand; To say that it is true, it is really touching; It's fun, it's fun. Hong Kong's best essayist, Lin Yanni, said, "With these three points, it is enough." ”
When asked about Yishu, Yishu claimed that he had not read it and could not make an evaluation.
Others, there are also those who hold the middle view: "This book uses a lot of vivid and lively methods in the narrative, and in fact it is mainly faithful to the history books that the author has seen (note that it is a history book, not history), but there are many elements of adding vinegar and speculation, such as the ideological activities of the characters, which are basically the author's own thoughts." If you want to study the history of the Ming Dynasty in depth, you still have to look at the history books and the works of historians. ”
There are even more historical nihilists, who believe that there is only one historical truth, but only the moon really knows, because it has been the only one who has been watching every move on the earth for billions of years. But the moon has no thinking and can't speak, so the historical truth is destined to not be reproduced in anyone's hands, in short, the historical truth is not on the earth!
In other words, this book should not appear, nor should any other historical work.
Just as Mr. Lu Xun said, among the readers of "Dream of Red Mansions", scholars see "Yi", Taoists see lewdness, geniuses see lingering, revolutionaries see Pai Man, and gossips see palace secrets.
Everyone who looks at "Ming Dynasty" from their own perspective will have their own praise and disapproval.
There are a thousand Hamlets for the so-called thousand readers.
In addition, the powerful "Ming Pao" even interviewed Qian Mu.
Qian Mu, a well-known master of Chinese studies. As early as the beginning of the Republic of China, there was a saying that "South Qian and North Hu", South Qian is naturally Qian Mu, and North Hu is Hu Shi.
Qian Mu moved to Hong Kong as early as 1949 and founded New Asia College, and in November 1967, Qian Mu was invited by Jiang to go to Taiwan from Hong Kong as a "returnee" scholar. In the following year, he moved to the Sushu Building in Shuangxi, Shilin District, Taipei City, and in the same year, he was elected as an academician of the "Central Research Institute".
In the past ten years, he has lived in seclusion in the Sushulou in Shuangxi, outside Taipei City, where he has devoted himself to lecturing and writing, and has not been much involved in the world.
The reason why the reporter went to interview Qian Mu was, first, Lin Jing is now studying at New Asia College of Xiangjiang Chinese University, and can be regarded as a student of Qian Mu in name; Second, it is natural that Qian Mu once commented on the politics of the Ming Dynasty in "The Gains and Losses of the Political Records of the Chinese Dynasties": It is a pity that this stage of Western history is progressive, while this stage of China (Ming Dynasty) has regressed, at least in terms of the political system, it is a great regression.
Therefore, many people think that Qian Mu is a black Ming Dynasty.
Those who read "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" can easily see from it that Lin Jing is a fan of the Ming Dynasty.
Some people even commented that "Ming Dynasty" is a "masterpiece" that overturned the case for the Ming Dynasty, without this book, it is estimated that many people will have a bad impression of "the darkest dynasty in Chinese history" in their minds when they mention the Ming Dynasty.
A Ming Dynasty black, a Ming Dynasty fan, of course, Lin Jing can't be compared with a master of Chinese culture like Qian Mu in terms of weight, but Lin Jing is this year's topic of the year.
Hong Kong and Taiwan popular literary circles are full of talents, martial arts novelists include Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng, Gu Long, Chen Qingyun, Wen Ruian, etc., romance novel writers include Qiong Yao, Cen Karen, Ji Xiaotao, Yan Qin, Yishu, etc., others such as essayists Lin Yanni , Li Bihua, but can start writing history at Lin Jing's age, and also write new ideas (although only new ideas in penmanship), but there is none.
So although all the above writers are more famous than Lin Jing, they are not as topical as Lin Jing.
If there is a topic, there is news, so whenever Lin Jing releases a new work, she will become the object of media pursuit.
In the past, "Heroes" was, "Kunlun" was, "Those Times That Can't Go Back" was, and now "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is the same.
If he can get his evaluation of Lin Jing and Lin Jing's works from Qian Mu's mouth, even if it is just a few words, it can be used as material and hype it up, then the newspaper will not worry about no sales.
Many of the reporters interviewed were with evil intentions.
Because they don't think that a master of Chinese studies like Qian Mu, who has been famous for decades, even if he hears people talk about "Ming Dynasty" by chance, he will not read "Ming Dynasty" and other popular historical books at the level of "story clubs".
Of course it's good to have read it, but if you haven't read it, it's even better.
Just like the widely circulated joke of "Tang Seng and Reporter" in later generations, as journalists, no matter which possibility they have, they always have a way to get what they want.
But they didn't expect that Qian Mu had already read a little, and when he was interviewed by reporters, he expressed his opinions very much.
"It's easy to understand, there are considerable things, and if you can continue to work hard, you will be able to achieve something in the future."
Qian Mu's evaluation has the meaning of correcting Lin Jing and "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".
As a result, no matter whether they have read "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" or not, they are all in an uproar!
