Words written before the beginning of the third volume
First of all, I'm sorry, but the length of the second volume is really beyond my imagination, and although I tried my best to write it, it still took too much pen and ink.
The most difficult thing to write is Confucius, the controversy is too great, there are too many colors on the body, how to write it will provoke people to scold, I am not very satisfied with it myself, barely count it as a passing line, but he and Nanzi can be said to be the two characters who spend the most thought.
The third volume will cut off all the side details, tell the story well with a tight rhythm, write the most important climax of the book, and the main stage of the story will also return to the Jin Kingdom, but the pattern will involve the entire Central Plains
There are a few characters that will be rewritten, Ji Huan is of course the first, and the sisters can rest assured.
……
In addition, to explain the word "Warring States", the following is something from Yang Kuan's "History of the Warring States".
The term "Warring States" already existed during the Warring States period, and it was not the name of the era, but the seven great powers of Wei, Zhao, Han, Qi, Chu, Qin, and Yan, which were engaged in annexation wars for many years at that time. For example, "Warring States Policy: Qin Ce IV" contains a weak saying: "There are six Warring States in Shandong. "Chu Ce II" Zai Zhao often said to King Chu Qingxiang: "Today, I will go to the east for 500 miles, and I will go to the Warring States for half of it." "Zhao Ce San" contains Zhao Hao said: "Those who take the ancient as all the countries today are divided into the seven warring states." "Yan Ce I" contains Su Dai said: "Where there are seven warring states in the world, and Yan is weak." ”
It can be seen that the seven major powers at that time all had the title of "Warring States".
By the early years of the Han Dynasty, the meaning of the term "Warring States" had not changed, for example, the "Historical Records and Pingzhun Shu" said: "Since then, the world has fought for the Warring States." It was not until the end of the Western Han Dynasty that Liu Xiang edited the book "Warring States Policy" that he began to use "Warring States" as the name of a specific historical era.
So what did the original "Sengoku" mean? "Wei Xuanzi. The first part of the military order says: "The Warring States used their might to resist the enemy, and they could not abolish the army." "It's probably a military war and a country that aims to merge with each other.
So the "Warring States" here in July is also the original meaning, which is quite in line with the plot.
That's right, the name of the third volume is "The Seven Heroes of the Warring States", let me title the party once, and the fooled person slapped me in the face.
The merger of Jinqing, the beacon fire for many years, is for the Warring States! Zhi, Fan, Bank of China, Wei, Han, Xizhao, and Dongzhao are the Seven Heroes!
Finally, by the way, I will help you calculate the time, at the end of the second volume, it is the seventh month of the summer calendar in 499 BC, Zhao Wuxian is nineteen years old, and Ji Ying is nineteen and a half years old.
We hope that all readers will continue to support July! Ask for a commuter pass and a referral ticket! This chapter is free.
