Thoughts after reading "War on Xia Yang" (1): Listen to storytelling and learn about history
After reading "The Young Master of Spring Deng" by Zhang Dachun, I was fascinated by the historical stories in the book in the form of storytelling. Impressed. I heard that Zhang Dachun's second novel "War on Xia Yang" had been published, and I immediately bought a copy to take a sneak peek.
The author is compiling a set of novels based on legendary notes, which is a four-part series based on "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter". It still continues the extremely skillful but contemporary bookstore narrative technique in the previous work. The author Zhang Dachun still transforms into a storyteller, leading readers as if they have returned to the lively storytelling scene and the deep story forest of ancient China to get a glimpse of its secrets. This book talks about the strange, ugly and embarrassing situations in ancient officialdom and imperial examinations. This time, the perspective changes from the vast and deep rivers, lakes, forests and noisy market books and shops to focusing on temples, private schools and palaces. Among them. It is based on ancient Chinese notebook novels and unofficial historical anecdotes. The social conditions in the Qing Dynasty were due to hundreds of years of feudal monopoly rule in the Qing Dynasty, and corruption was rampant. The notebook novel touches on a very broad social level, from the governor of the ministry to the three religions and nine streams. The book is afraid of the cowardice of the officials of the Qing Dynasty. There are also quite vivid characterizations.
This book paints a social picture of the Qing Empire and provides a detailed description of various social phenomena caused by the corruption of court officials. With spicy brushstrokes, he boldly depicts the social beings at that time. It also describes the attitude of intellectual students in Chinese history after they successfully developed into the powerful class, and the strange current situation of officialdom and examination hall in ancient times, which is thought-provoking
The story notes here are drawn from different perspectives by the author. The perspective reveals that in the narrative, he expressed his thoughts with laughter, anger, and pungent strokes. It also focuses on portraying the heroic spirit of those martyrs and the deep friendship between them. Their final ending reflects the essence and destiny of the feudal society of the Qing Dynasty.
This book still inherits the tradition of Chinese classical notebook novels and has the artistic style of modern novel narrative. These notebook novels prominently reflect the author's artistic style, with sharp writing, solemn and humorous, spicy and interesting. The description of the characters is like flowing clouds and flowing water, and thousands of thoughts are vividly displayed on the paper in just a few strokes. The narrative of note novels is unique in storytelling novels, and the story runs throughout.
The author Zhang Dachun is a Chinese novelist. Born in Taiwan, his ancestral home is Jinan, Shandong. A good storyteller, good at storytelling, good at calligraphy, and loves to write poems. He is the author of numerous books and has won many Chinese literature awards. His representative works are "Listen to My Father", "Articles at ease", "Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty", "City-State Violent Group", "Novel Barnyard", "Apartment Tour Guide", "Four Joys and Worries about the Country", etc.
Zhang Dachun tells these touching stories for readers in the way of a storyteller, allowing us to follow the author's thoughts back to that specific historical era that was like wind, rain and wind. The depth of historical knowledge is astonishing. People in ancient times were not as rich in cultural life as we are now. Listening to books became a part of cultural life. Going to a teahouse after dinner to listen to a story telling was a symbol of all living beings in that era. Now, Zhang Dachun has brought us into the storytelling scene, which is indeed a wonderful experience of listening to storytelling.
Thoughts after reading "War on Xia Yang" (Part 2): Chaos in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty
This book is the second in the Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter series of novels based on Chinese legendary notebooks written by Zhang Dachun. I think that to read this book, in addition to having a little historical knowledge, you also need to have a certain literary background. The writing of this book is quite profound to a certain extent. I learned a lot of words through this book.
Another point that needs to be endorsed by everyone is the author Zhang Dachun himself. Zhang Dachun, a Chinese novelist, was born in Jinan, Shandong. Good stories, good at storytelling, good at calligraphy, and loves to write poems. Master of Chinese Literature from Fu Jen University in Taiwan. He has taught at Fu Jen University and Cultural University.
Currently, he is a lecturer in the Chinese Department of Fuzhou University and a host of News98 radio station. He has won the Times Literary Award, Wu Sanlian Literary Award, etc. If you don’t quite understand what these titles mean, then I can summarize it in one sentence: Teacher Zhang Dachun is definitely a master in explaining Chinese characters. You can also follow his radio and audio books. He is definitely a master of knowledge.
This book mainly wants to tell some stories from ancient times, but incorporates some current ideas. From the beginning of the dialogue between Sima Zichang and his colleagues to the whole story of Zhang Yugu's wrongful imprisonment, this book tells twelve historical stories in one chapter and analyzes the strange phenomena of officialdom. This is a classic work by a scholar who is unique in ancient and modern times, and is a collection of knowledge points.
After analyzing various conditions and reasons, I think this book should be adapted from the Taiwan version. You can imagine how famous this book is, and it is on the personal book lists of many great writers. . It should be said that there are quite a lot of classical Chinese texts in the book, and many parts have been explained for the convenience of readers. Many people think that Bi Chun is more readable, but I think these four books have their own meanings, and they are different in spring, summer, autumn and winter
I think if you have been working in the workplace for a period of time, or have People who have a certain life experience will find it more interesting when reading this book, because this book is written from some inconspicuous small keys and details in history, not those well-known historical facts. Big shot stories. The chapters will seem loose and unconnected, but in fact there will always be something to connect them. In addition, compared with the common use of a certain rare character as a person's name in romance novels, this book contains a lot of rare characters as content. For a very curious person like me, I learned a lot of new characters.
All the stories in this novel are still mainly concentrated in the Qing Dynasty. The corruption of court officials caused social chaos, and the development of the intellectuals and power class in Chinese history were all related to the entire officialdom. . This book is very reminiscent of "The Appearance of Officialdom", but it is not the same. After all, there are still many differences in perspective and novelty.
In short, if you have a certain state of mind and can read and study a book well, this is the best choice.
Thoughts after reading "The Battle of Xia Yang" (Part 3): Maybe there are more notes, but there are fewer novels
Zhang Dachun's notebook novels "The Spring Deng Gongzi" and "The Battle of Xia Yang", one writes anecdotes about the world, and the other writes Examination legend.
The storyline is much duller than in Zhang's other novels, and the characters are not three-dimensional and full.
The novel is interspersed from time to time with historical classics, unofficial legends, poems, songs, and anecdotes - strengthening the meaning of "notes". In addition, the narrative language is elegant and neat, and lacks the "game" of rampage. To some extent, it weakens the novel’s appeal and readability.
You can read the notebook novel as a paper or as a prose.
——Note-style novels such as "Zi Buyu" and "Yuewei Thatched Cottage Notes", etc., either record people's past, collect unofficial histories, or appreciate life, which aim to create a cultural meaning. A feeling of writing, a kind of elegance of a literati.
Zhang Dachun may be committed to broadening the boundaries of modern Chinese novels and continuing the tradition of Chinese classical notebook novels. He does not follow the mold of Western novels, and does not tie himself in a cocoon or draw a ground.
In fact, Kundera also likes to make philosophical contemplations in his novels.
But this kind of novel is really a test for readers. As a fan of Dachun, although I don’t like it very much, I will read and chew it one by one.
Thoughts after reading "War on Xia Yang" (4): Reading - Zhang Yugu's Unjust Prison from beginning to end
In fact, I was not used to listening to books at first. I listened to it by chance, and I sincerely I feel that those storytellers really analyzed the history thoroughly and couldn’t help but express the thoughts of the people involved, and they really said what I wanted to say.
The author Zhang Dachun, born in 1957, is a Chinese novelist and a native of Jinan, Shandong. Good stories, good at storytelling, good at calligraphy, and loves to write poems.
The novelist further focuses his attention from the vast and secluded rivers, lakes and forests, and the noisy market and bookstores to the temples and private schools, and all he talks about is the ancient officialdom and examination halls. The strange, ugly and embarrassing states are various characters with different thoughts and motives, and also present the complex spectrum of the rise and fall of the intellectual and powerful classes in modern China.
Let’s talk about the part that interests me the most. From the beginning to end of Zhang Yugu's wrongful imprisonment, the author can actually catch our attention very well, and the description of the characters is vivid and vivid. Everyone's emotional attitude is full. Make people really interested in reading.
Zhang Dachun once said: "A novelist does not spend his whole life writing stories for people to read. The most important thing is: how can I help my generation regain the training and upbringing that has been collectively wasted.
With his arrogant writing style and playful and mocking narrative style, when Taipei began to keep up with the pace of international cities in the 1980s, Zhang Dachun, who was in his early twenties, relied on his old school roots and his understanding of the new urban atmosphere. He is keen to write one novel after another that has won domestic literary awards, which foreshadows Zhang Dachun's upcoming role in the world of literature. Behind his distinctive narrative style is his constant thinking about the realistic tradition, which makes Zhang Dachun's novels unique. His works are closely in tune with the pulse of the times. In addition, he can not only imitate Marquez, but also parody the stormy sands of Sima Central Plains. He uses a teasing brushwork to describe the absurdity of the world, and stands at the forefront of popular culture to recite ancient Chinese history. In addition, he has a rich and complex creation. He can be said to be the most capable Taiwanese writer in modern times who studies ancient and modern times. Zhang Dachun is like the Monkey King in "Journey to the West". He is the most talented, unruly, and extremely interesting writer in Taiwan. Contact with Taiwanese writers is a kind of motivation, and you can feel your own shortcomings.
