As soon as I turned on the computer today and clicked on my work, I first saw a reader's criticism of my work, and his original words were: "Personally, I think that the most important thing in the novels before the pre-Qin period is to write the words and deeds of the ancient characters, so that people can feel that this is really the style of the pre-Qin period, which is very difficult." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoUnfortunately, you can't start your book with that. Although the criticism was straightforward and not tactful, I was happy to accept it after thinking about it. In my reply, I wrote, "If the reader says no, then no, as a reader, you are my correction teacher." So I will carefully study every sentence that the reader says, reply carefully, absorb some of the ideas, and make changes to my later text as appropriate.

In fact, as the author, I also know very well in my heart that there is indeed not too much pre-Qin style, as my first work, although I have worked hard, it is undeniable that there will definitely be shortcomings, such as the sense of the times is not strong, the sense of substitution is not strong, the style of writing is not delicate enough, and the details are not distinctive. So I have to recognize my own shortcomings, and strive to grow in criticism and self-criticism, failure is not terrible, the terrible thing is not to accept failure, what is terrible is to be scared by failure. So if I can stick to it, and if you can see my next step and you can stay tuned, then from the beginning, I'm sure you'll be able to see my progress.

Having said too much, let's talk about the topic of this article.

As a time-traveling novel, it is important to have a sense of substitution, that is, to travel to that era with the protagonist, so as to attract readers, which is understandable. In order to do this, my idea is to write about the historical characteristics of the time. For example, from the perspective of military affairs, in the early Western Han Dynasty, it was necessary to fight the Xiongnu, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was the Three Kingdoms, the early Tang Dynasty was determined to forge ahead, in the early Tang Dynasty, you did not fight the Turks, in the Tang Dynasty, you did not fight Tubo and Persia, in the Middle Tang Dynasty, you did not fight An Lushan, you are embarrassed to say that you have been to the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was the Great Liao, Western Xia and Dajin, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was Mongolia and Jurchen, what is the Qing Dynasty, the early period was Sanban and Taiwan, and the middle and late periods were all kinds of uprisings and Western powers, these are all distinctive historical characteristics. Let's talk about culture, the Han Dynasty is the Han Fu, this seems to be difficult, and it is not understood by today's people, so there are very few people who write this, the Tang Dynasty is easy to say, if you don't know how to recite poems, you are embarrassed to say hello to people when you walk on the street, and then there are Song Ci Yuan songs, Ming and Qing novels, novels, even if you write novels, you write novels. Let's talk about political characteristics, the Han Dynasty was in charge of the eunuchs, the Tang Dynasty rebelled, and a heroine was inserted in the middle to win the world, the main theme of the Song Dynasty is military cowardice and economic development, the biggest feature of the Ming Dynasty is Jinyiwei, I haven't seen a novel that travels to the Ming Dynasty and doesn't write Jinyiwei, and the Qing Dynasty is the sons of the heirs, there are too many Qing novels of this type. The distinctive historical features make people accept this era at once. If you ask, why I don't write about these periods, but I want to write about the pre-Qin, in fact, it is only because I have a deep love for the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, as to why, I will explain it in a separate article later.

Having said so much above, it is nothing more than an attempt to lead to the pre-Qin Warring States period that I have written. What are the characteristics of the Warring States period? I also thought deeply, and after reading a series of related books, I found that the characteristics of the Warring States period are as follows: in terms of cultural outlook, a hundred schools of thought contended, and people with lofty ideals held their own doctrines, wandering around the world, or trying to save the world with their own ideas, or trying to gain respect and even benefits with their own talents. From the political point of view, the open-minded atmosphere of scholars made it possible for scholars to lobby the nations, and the common people could also be immediately crowned, and the desire for a strong country made it fashionable to change the law, and the relative balance of power in various countries for a long time made it possible for the columnists to speak a word to a thousand armies. From a military point of view, the chariot is declining, but has not yet withdrawn from the battlefield, the new infantry represented by Wei Wushu is becoming the trend of history, the cavalry that comes and goes like the wind has not yet been popularized, and the emergence of various military techniques has made the decisive factor of war have changed from soldiers to generals, if you don't change then you will be beaten, which gives the protagonist room to play. In my opinion, highlighting the role of a sergeant in a hundred schools of thought, highlighting the war in the dispute between the nations, and then emphasizing the influence of people's hearts when the social system changed from slavery to feudalism should give the protagonist a space to play, a reason for the reader to read it.

However, now I find that this alone is not enough, and with my current level, it is still very difficult to write all of the above feelings. So I began to pay attention to the details, just like the sense of style of the times and the sense of substitution that someone mentioned, so what is it to support these? I mentioned in the previous sentence that I would try my best to restore a real Eastern Zhou Warring States period for readers, but now that I think about it carefully, I really ignore many details. For example, some readers have mentioned the problem of titles, such as princes, slaves, adults, etc., such as the scenes of some people meeting people, how to salute, how to eat, etc., and then such as architecture, dress and food, etc., although I have been carefully studied, but there is indeed a lack of a pre-Qin ancient style, that I want to write but can't write about the ancient style. So I'm also confused, is it because I have too little historical information, or because my skills are too poor, or both, and which is more important?

Things before the pre-Qin period are indeed difficult to write, there is too little information, the exact information has historical records, Lü's Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States Policy and Zizhi Tongjian, and then the Analects, Zhuangzi, Chu Ci and other works will have a description of the social landscape at that time, but after all, it is still too little, the reason, I think it is not that the ancients did not remember history, but that Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, and there are clear records in the historical records, and the historians and non-Qin records are burned, so since then, it is Sima Qian who wrote the historical records and lamented that there are too few historical materials. Later works, such as Feng Menglong's biography of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, refer to the basic history books I wrote above, but if you look closely, you will find that if you take the three families as the boundary, there are 83 chapters in the Spring and Autumn Period, and only 37 chapters in the Warring States Period.

Therefore, it is difficult to write works during the Warring States period, which is an objective reason, but the main thing is my subjective ability, and I am weak to write. On weekdays, it is easy to read, but when it comes to typing the keyboard by yourself, I feel that it is difficult to move, and I think that many novices will have such an experience, but I don't know what will happen if I keep walking.

However, I will continue to work hard, a real warrior, dare to face a bleak life, a real warrior, dare to face the sluggish clicks. Since you have chosen this path, you must go on firmly, and I promise again here that I will not be a eunuch.

In fact, at the beginning, I told my daughter-in-law that if a thousand people were reading my novels, I would be content. In fact, when it was first published, it was 20 or 30 hits a day, which really made me anxious, but fortunately, in the past few days, there are more than 1,000 hits every day. To all those who have followed me, and those who are following me, I would like to thank you, especially the few readers who have commented on my books for a long time, as well as those who have criticized, because of you, I have the happiness of being noticed.

I have written so much, but I don't know what to do when I look back, maybe it is a feeling, but after all, it is still a true portrayal of my heart. Since I chose it myself, I have to write it down no matter how difficult it is, not to mention that there are still people paying attention, so I will work harder!

That's all there is to say, it is the last word for good students to spend their energy on the text.
