Essay (Preface)
Before writing "The Fourth Part of the Fairy Dream and Butterfly Yuan", I want to write this preface, and the purpose of writing the preface is mainly to let everyone understand the author's foothold when writing this novel.
Under the lonely light, countless authors have challenged this and completed a novel for several years, which is not easy. In order to let readers see more good works and better articles, they survived countless days and nights and persevered until the end. In the long process of writing, it was so boring and boring that they thought about giving up and getting relief, but they still insisted on finishing it. So what is it that makes them so persevering? It is a dream, a dream is like a beacon in the dark, and we are a boat in the waves, in the face of this vast sea, should be desperate, because the beacon on the other side gives them a little hope, that is, dreams, I believe that each of our authors has their own dreams, and so do I. This novel is really ill-fated! I started to register on the starting point website.,Wrote this novel.,What I didn't expect was that I couldn't log in when I wrote the second part.,This novel was interrupted for a few months and then started my writing career on the vertical and horizontal website.,When I was writing, I was the editor when I could sign a contract.,The editor told me to make up enough for a million words.,What I didn't expect was that the novel was blocked after it was enough for 700,000 words.。 I spent three years preparing for this novel, and five years before and after writing, searching for information, making outlines, and the five years of hard work were marked out by their pen. So the preface is written so that everyone can understand what is expressed in the fourth part of the novel? What is the foothold? What is the central idea? I am writing a complete history of China from a historical perspective, which can be said to be a thick history, people and events in the past.
The paper is full of absurd words, a handful of bitter tears, recently I have been reading "Dream of Red Mansions", formerly known as "The Story of the Stone", and at the same time, I deeply understand that the author of this book, Cao Xueqin, has a poor life, and died of illness in the middle of the novel, which is regrettable! At the beginning, Rongguo Mansion (Grand View Garden) gave people a scene of prosperity, and then suffered from the sinful family, just like the author's life of writing, life twists and turns. A good novel was controversial and eventually banned by the rulers, and was later continued by another literary giant, Gao E, for the next forty chapters, allowing us to see a relatively complete "Dream of Red Mansions". During the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, Su Shi was imprisoned for the Wutai poetry case, and during the period from Kangxi to Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, he was imprisoned for the great revival of literature, and some literati were convicted and imprisoned. It is a pity that the ruler took the words out of context and misinterpreted the original meaning of his articles, and many literary works were burned in the fire and turned to ashes. What is a novel or an essay about? What is its connotation? It is necessary to review it carefully, to be cautious, and not to ruin the author's hardships for months because of a momentary misjudgment! Don't let that chill their hearts!
Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world, this sentence comes from the book of the university, which belongs to the essence of Confucianism and the Chinese tradition. Only when there is a country can there be a home, and only when the family is harmonious can the world be peaceful. Before writing this novel, I had read a lot of books, such as the Hundred Schools of Thought, Confucian classics, and the culture and history of various places. What is Home? What is Liability? The fourth part of the novel, "The Courtyard of the He Family", is from the Opium War to the end of the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese War, from the rise and fall of a family to the fate of a country. There is a song lyrics that are very well written, "Home is the smallest country, the country is tens of millions, and only a strong country can have a rich family." This song sings the hearts of many people. We live in a stable and harmonious country, at this time we can think about Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq, which are still in the midst of war, and those people, their homes are destroyed in the war, homeless, uprooted, facing disease and death, watching their relatives die or be ** one after another, how can the country be home? The reason why I want to write this history (the history of the middle and late Qing Dynasty) is to let everyone understand the importance of the country and the family, so that everyone can remember that humiliating history and inspire the people, and dedicate a responsibility for the country and the family, and not destroy the harmony of this society because of the instigation of those who have bad intentions (**). Home, country, and the world are the central ideas of the novel.
This novel promotes positive energy, it should be spread, it should not be blocked because of a momentary misjudgment, the long history should not be interrupted in our generation, I am using this novel to spread Chinese culture, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it should not be blocked, this is unwise, I hope you can be cautious, I hope you can understand, I bow here, thank you.
