What to write about?

Chi Fei pondered this question.

First of all, what is not in this era cannot be written, because no one will believe it.

Who would have believed that in a few hundred years, humans would be able to fly in the sky, sneak in the deep sea, and move quickly on land in iron boxes?

No one will believe it, others will only treat you as a whimsical fool.

Second, you can't write anything that violates common sense in society, because it violates the ethics and morals of this era.

Just like Cinderella's story, why should he change his face beyond recognition to tell it to others?

is because Cinderella is originally a Western fairy tale, and the background and customs in it are different from the ethics of this society.

A girl from a good family not only shows her face, but also dances and kisses with a strange man. What's the difference between this and a dusty woman?

This kind of behavior may still be acceptable in Western society, but in this traditional Chinese society, it will definitely be spurned by others, and people will be scolded when you write it.

Third, you can't write about politics, especially things related to the imperial court and imperial power.

Chi Fei doesn't know how open the rulers of this dynasty are to the people's right to speak, but it's always right to be careful.

You don't see the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the literal prison is the most exaggerated, and millions of people are implicated. That's going to kill you.

Fourth, you can't write anything that is colored with silver.

Although colored scripts are popular, the authors who write these kinds of works usually don't have a good reputation.

Readers also watch secretly, not daring to let others know.

If you write too much, you may be banned.

Chi Fei borrowed all the scripts from Zhang Quanshui and them, and after reading them all quickly, he summarized several types of popular scripts in this era.

The first is the martial arts forbidden class, the second is the talented human being, the third is the supernatural ghost class, and the fourth is the world alert class.

Among them, martial arts and talented beauties are the most popular among current readers.

Chi Fei thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to write a traditional story that was a household name in his world into a novel.

This story is Liang Zhu.

Liang Zhu is a classic love story passed down by word of mouth, since the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it has been circulated in the folk for more than 1,700 years, it can be described as a household name, spread far-reaching, and is known as the swan song of love through the ages.

The earliest record of Liang Zhu in history began in the early Tang Dynasty, according to the record of "Ten Dao Si Fan Zhi": "The righteous woman Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo are in the same grave, that is, their affairs."

Subsequently, various dynasties also had various records about Liang Zhu.

There are actually many versions of Liang Zhu's story in history, including Fengqiu version, Runan version, Shangyu version, Hangzhou version, Yixing version, Weishan version, and Zhucheng version.

Each version is different, but the Shandong Zhucheng version is the most widely circulated and the most popular version.

The content of the story is: In Liangshantun Village, Xiangzhou Town, in the north of Zhucheng, there is a family surnamed Liang, which is Liang Shanbo's home.

The Liang family was wealthy in the early years, and Uncle Shan's father also ran a school, but unfortunately he became ill from hard work, and he left the West in his thirties, leaving Uncle Shan's mother and son to rely on each other, and his life gradually declined.

Liang Shanbo's milk name is Bo Child, who has been frail and sick since he was a child, and his family only relies on his mother to hire short-term workers to manage a few acres of thin land for a living.

When Shanbo was 16 years old, his mother was afraid that she would miss the child's future, so she saved money and saved some savings, and sent Liang Shanbo to study in Xiaoliangshan, three miles northwest of the village.

Because the teacher was a good friend of Liang Shanbo's father, Shanbo was taken care of by the master everywhere in the school, and his academic performance was very good.

The heroine of the story, Zhu Yingtai, was born in Zhujialou Village, west of Shiqiaozi Town, Zhucheng, and her father is a member of the village, known as Zhuyuanwai.

There are four branches of the Zhu family, living in the four corners of the village of Zhujialou, the fourth floor corresponds, and the northeast building of the home is outside the Zhuyuan.

At that time, the heirs of the Zhu family were in the ranks, and Yingtai was nine in the women's middle school, and her nickname was Jiuhong'er.

Because Zhu Yuan had no children under his knees, he couldn't help Yingtai's hard request, so he agreed to Yingtai women dressing up as men to go to Xiaoliangshan to study.

It was here that Liang Shanbo got acquainted with Zhu Yingtai, who came to study in disguised as a man, and the two lived in the same room, and the brothers were commensurate and had deep feelings.

Three years passed, until the completion of his studies and when he went down the mountain, Shanbo did not realize the true identity of Yingtai, and insisted on sending a gift to Zhu Xiandi.

The two chatted while walking, talked about friendship, and traveled all the way west, all the way to the small stone bridge in the north of Shiqiaozi Town, Zhucheng City.

On this small stone bridge, Yingtai faced Brother Liang, who had been with him for three years, and it was difficult to control his love, so he proposed to match Shanbo for his little ninth sister, and told Shanbo to go to Zhu's house as soon as possible. After seeing Shanbo's promise, the two said goodbye.

When Shanbo returned to the mountain to bid farewell to his master, he learned from his wife that Yingtai was the little ninth sister, and hurriedly went to Zhu's house to propose marriage.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanwai had already married Yingtai Xu to Ma Wencai.

When Liang Shanbo knew that Zhu Yuanwai had forcibly married Yingtai to Ma Wencai, he was expelled from the door without even seeing Yingtai, and when he returned home, he regretted and resented it, became sick, coughed all day long, did not eat soup, and could not afford to be sick.

When Shanbo was terminally ill, he instructed his mother: "After I die, don't go elsewhere to bury me, just bury me on the north bank of the Lizhang River." ”

Because he knew that Ma Wencai's home was in Majiazhuangzi Village, Guanzhuang Town, Anqiu City, Yingtai had to pass through here to get married, and he wanted to see Yingtai again after his death.

After saying that, Shanbo died and was only nineteen years old.

Liang's mother really followed her son's instructions and buried Shan Boyuan on the north bank of the Qu River in the north of Lizhang Village, Shiqiaozi Town.

After Zhu Yingtai returned home, he knew that his father had promised a marriage for himself, and learned that Shanbo had come to propose marriage but was rejected by his father, so he washed his face with tears all day long.

Within a few days, Yingtai learned that Shanbo had died of martyrdom and was buried on the north bank of the Lizhang River, and he was even more grief-stricken.

After that, he did not eat for three days, and he was entangled in every possible way about the dowry in order to delay the marriage.

On the day of the wedding of Yingtai, the wind and the sun are beautiful, the sedan chair has just arrived on the ancient road in the west of the mound, suddenly the wind is rising, Yingtai is asking to get off the sedan chair, go to worship the soul of Brother Liang, to the tomb, Yingtai looked at the stone tablet of Brother Liang, grief-stricken, tears fell, after counting the affection of Brother Liang, he died by hitting the monument, and the family buried Yingtai here.

Later, two butterflies were seen suddenly flying out of the tomb and then fluttering away.

The whole Liang Zhu story is probably like this.

What is Tragedy?

Tragedy is the destruction of good things for others to see.

This view is not very agreeable.

Since Liang Zhu's story itself is a tragedy, it should be retained as it was.

Therefore, Chi Fei does not intend to tamper with the content in it, let alone modify the ending, but to carry out in-depth processing to bring the tragic color of the story to the extreme.

How can we maximize Liang Zhu's tragic color?

It's simple, just magnify the good places.

The best part of Liang Zhu is that the two lived together in the same room on Xiaoliang Mountain, and the happy time of studying all the time, and the eighteen miles when the two went down the mountain later.

What Chi Fei has to do is to describe the best part of this, especially the scene of reading and living together, as detailed as possible.

As long as these two parts are well and meticulously described, the reader will be moved when the tragedy comes.

The more beautiful and pure a thing is, the more heart-wrenching it is when it is destroyed.

……………………

Let me first state that "Liang Zhu" is not a book or a novel, but a folk tale that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Just as "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai" was adapted by Pu Songling from the folk ghost stories he collected, and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a chapter back novel adapted by Luo Guanzhong from the historical book "Three Kingdoms", Chi Fei is just adapted and processed into a novel based on the folk tale "Liang Zhu", which is not plagiarism anyway.

If this is also plagiarism, then "Strange Tales" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can also be said to be plagiarism.

The reason for reiterating this point is because the protagonist will not be a copyist, so I hereby declare it.
