The book is finally complete.

First of all, I have to say, this is, not history. Friends, don't look at a book with the eyes of history. In other words, not all the stories told in it can be found in the annals.

My creative principle is to create within the framework of a larger history without changing the basic trend of history. For example, it was the Yue State that destroyed the Wu State in the end, and it cannot be written as the Chu State destroying the Wu State. Wu Zixu was given death by King Wu, and it cannot be written that he died on the battlefield, etc.

Spring and Autumn unrighteous war. In the historical era of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, where wars were fought almost every day, almost no war was just. I am critical of these wars. Especially those monarchs who have brought endless disasters to the common people in order to compete for hegemony, I criticize more than praise.

Neither King Wu nor King Yue deserves praise.

For a character like Wu Zixu, I sympathize with more than praise. His loyalty is undoubtedly a good character, but his pedantry even harms himself, which is embarrassing.

I like the character of Fan Li more. Smart and wise, free and open-minded. Of course, what values him the most is his level-headed eyes on women, that is, he treats women as human beings. The attentive reader will see that I am devoting great importance to this point.

The character of Xi Shi is the only one among the famous beauties of ancient times who does not have a negative evaluation. Praise for him has always focused on his beauty. But that's a very empty thing, after all, none of us have ever seen Shih Tzu. He has been by King Wu's side for twenty years, if he is like a female spy and has no feelings for King Wu, he is obviously unkind, but he has feelings for King Wu and still maintains his loyalty to Fan Li, which is obviously contradictory. The character of Shih Tzu can show the multifaceted nature of human nature. There are many theories about the ending of Xi Shi, but I still take the arrangement of leaving with Fan Li in the end, such an ending will make people feel better. After all, this is a figure that is not recorded in the canonical history.

The tragic fate of the women Yayu Gouyu and Zheng Dan shows the suffering and misfortune of being a woman in that era.

Of the other women who appear in the book, only Yue Nu is mentioned in the "Yue Jue Shu" and "The Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty". Everything else is fiction.

The bibliography used to write this book includes "Historical Records", "Yue Jue Shu", "Records of the Eastern Zhou Kingdoms", "Chinese", "Wu Yue Chunqiu" and so on.

The writing process avoids the appearance of modern words of weights and measures, such as hours, meters, kilometers, kilograms, and so on. In addition, some ancient cultures, such as yin and yang and the five elements gossip, should also be avoided as much as possible if they are not required by the plot.

The occasional appearance of literary language is also to set off the atmosphere. But this can cause dyslexia. This is not well done.

The book didn't get good grades. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been finished in 1.3 million words. According to the long online article, this is just the beginning. But no one is motivated if they don't see it. I couldn't write it for a long time, but my habit was that as soon as things began, I had to finish them. So I gritted my teeth and wrote for a few months, and finally finished the book.

If you want to talk about the reason for failure, the most important thing is that you didn't write according to the writing routine of the online article. The story is not cut according to the routine, and the writing is not written according to the routines such as pretending to slap the face, gold finger, upgrading and fighting monsters. I don't know, and I don't want to, learn, the reading habits that readers have cultivated, I don't cater to. It's normal for a book written like this to be read by no one.

After writing it, when I think about it, I laugh myself, and spend so much effort to create a bunch of garbage. In fact, online articles are all garbage. It has been a decade or two since the emergence of online articles, but more books have been written than human beings have written in thousands of years. There is not even a word that can be passed on to the world.

I haven't written it in the future, and I haven't made up my mind yet. If you want to write in the future, try to write it beautifully. However, it was really hard for me to cater to the readership. Let's talk about it.
