About writing
For this book, I set it as a story line rather than a character line, hoping to convey a complete and rich story. Therefore, in terms of writing techniques, I will try to use different narrative angles, camera descriptions, and even stream-of-consciousness writing to frame this story.
Historical-oriented novels have many characters, branches, and evidence, and it is difficult to write an excellent work with rigorous conception and reading without skillful writing skills. Judging from the chapters I have presented, the writing skills are still very young, and I need to strengthen my writing training.
Why I chose to create a story-based creation instead of characters is a personal appeal. In fact, I had considered writing Qin Liangyu before, but I thought that the accumulation was not enough, and I couldn't write the fan of the loyal marquis, so I didn't dare to write rashly. Maybe one day, or at a certain stage, I will still consider writing, after all, she is a representative of the Ming women in my heart.
So I imagined a female character out of thin air, Wu Yan. This character comes from a complex with me, which is why there are 'verbose first four chapters'.
I started writing from the day Chongzhen hanged himself, and it seems that it has nothing to do with the whole novel, but it is not. I have a good impression of Chongzhen, the emperor, based on his feminine outlook as an emperor. The emperor of the feudal era, this is especially valuable.
His appointment of female officials is not limited to the inner court, in fact, in the Ming Dynasty, there have always been excellent female officials who serve and the inner court, and they are talented and the emperor, not competing for favor in the harem, but there are too few records about them.
He named Qin Liangyu as a loyal marquis, and wrote a poem to praise: Women have always been willing to accept it, why should the general be a husband. How many strange men in the world, who are willing to travel thousands of miles on the battlefield. He directly expressed his attitude towards women: women are as good as men when it comes to making achievements.
An emperor can break through the feudal barrier of 'women do not speak up in politics and women do not interfere in politics', which in itself is worthy of praise.
There is also a contemporaneous Bi Shu, 'with a strange appearance, a young worker Wenhan, who can also hold a stone bow and be good at fencing. His father guarded Jiqiu, took the city according to thieves, and died in battle...... And an army broke in, and the thieves were as shocked as the world, and they were stunned. With his hands on the sword, he held the first number and said: Those who dare to resist the king and master have such a head! The thief was defeated, his camp was burned, the pursuit was not counted, and the thief was peaceful. When he was twenty years old, he ......
It's a pity that before he finished his feudal lordship, Daming died.
There is also a fictional emperor of the Ming Dynasty in this book, he also has Chongzhen's view of women, his relationship with the heroine is Bole and good horses, he promotes the heroine in an eclectic way, appoints her as an official, gives her the opportunity to experience at the grassroots level, and participates in the country's economic reform and construction...... Although she is not like Qin Liangyu and Bi who served the country in the army, why is she not another way to make contributions and serve the motherland?
Speaking of writing, talking about the characters, let's talk about the book itself, this book is not good at present, in fact, I have checked the outline, the story is complete, the logic is self-consistent, the plot also has ups and downs, and the cool point is also very cool, as for why the grades are not good, I can't control it, but I don't want to change it.
For the historical essay of the female protagonist, if it is written with family and country feelings, it can also be brilliant, but the background of this book is the reform of the peaceful era, there is no grand scene, and there is no historical figure with its own halo. Feelings only come from ordinary little people, and there may be some warmth, but it is not a grand epic.
I didn't want to make any changes because I loved the premise.
Let's talk about the plot when it's empty.
