《riverside scene at qing ming festival》book review

The best part of this book is that it not only resurrects 824 characters, but the first five volumes also tell the story of the five different social classes of the time, including scholars, merchants, soldiers, workers, and farmers, and the style of Bianjing through the perspectives of five protagonists (five uniques)., every aspect of urban life is unknown.

Under the prosperity, all kinds of sharp social contradictions are revealed: scholars are involved in debates about new and old laws; economically, business laws have been updated frequently, businessmen are at a loss, and prices in the market are in chaos; the army is weak in military administration, lack of training, corrupt generals, and lack of combat effectiveness.The people are extremely poor, the imperial court is extravagant, and the people follow suit, competing for splendor; in the countryside, farmers are miserable because of the land confiscation order.

The second is the story of each character.

When writing about characters in traditional Chinese novels, they often introduce their background and personality traits in a few words when they appear, which is quite flat and lacks growth and change.The book writes about small characters from all walks of life, and they are often introduced through this method of appearance.

However, as the story unfolds, each character becomes three-dimensional.Especially those little people in the market. They have various problems such as greed, selfishness, narrow-mindedness, and low self-esteem, but they have not lost the gentle side of human nature.In this painful struggle, a series of criminal incidents occurred.

The end is the end.Previous works ended with the solution of the case, leaving the rest of the story to the readers' imagination.But the real climax of the book is not yet here.

Most historical suspense novels have a common problem: behind an event is ultimately a political issue concerning the world.This is all a simplification of historical issues.

《riverside scene at qing ming festival》 attempts to correct such problems. The final expression of the book is that the historical trend cannot be reversed by one or two figures.

The story is based on "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". Soon after, the Jin soldiers went south, and the city of Bianjing was ravaged by the Jin soldiers.Hundreds of characters in previous books could not escape this disaster in the end.At the end of the story, the vivid characters have gone through many hardships and still cannot escape the final disaster.

For example, there is a Lanke Temple in the book. There is a young monk named Yi Xin in the temple. He loves poetry very much. If you ask him anything, he likes to ask a few lines of poetry first.This somewhat silly monk is actually the clearest one in the book, with a heart as pure as the moon and no worries. However, his final ending is:

Only halfway through the sweep, there was a sound of horse hooves outside the wall, rolling like thunder from far away, and several horses stopped outside the temple gate.Several ferocious men in fur coats walked in with knives in their hands and roared at Yi Xin.Yi Xin stopped the broom and saluted respectfully with one palm.One of the barbarians shouted loudly, swung his sword and slashed at him.

Yi Xin closed her eyes and softly chanted: “The guests are coming and the wind is strong, I'll go to Baixue...”

The author used words to draw a magnificent picture of "Along the River During Qingming Festival", and finally burned it with his own hands, which was extremely sad!

《riverside scene at qing ming festival》In many aspects, historical works have reached the extreme, but it also exposed a fatal flaw.

No matter how high the historical authenticity of the work is and how profound its thoughts on rise and fall are, it is still essentially a mystery novel.Like the author weaving a web, the story pattern of the first five volumes is that several cases happen at the same time, and a truth is finally revealed.

Then each volume leaves a few “ buttons”, and is finally summarized in the sixth volume.A political conspiracy with a grand and grand layout, but ultimately lacking in logical rationality.

For a trick setting, the fewer the number of participants, the better; the more, the greater the uncertainty.The same is true for mystery novels. The more characters there are and the more complex the clues, the more reasonable they will be.

The author himself wanted to criticize the “flaws” of the imperial layout, but in fact, it caused a loss of pleasure in reading the final reveal.

It’s rare to have both in this world.If we want to write a panoramic picture of society, we will lose the compactness and smoothness of the story.For example, on the basketball court, you cannot expect a certain star player to be tall and able to run all over the court. If he has both, his strength will inevitably be flawed.

The most exciting part of the book is actually the more than 200 small cases.These cases have borrowed a lot of tricks from original, changed, and new original mystery novels, but many settings are still far-fetched and contain too many coincidences.

However, what is shown behind the crime is the distortion of human nature caused by the chaotic society, which makes the truth of many cases extremely shocking. There are too many examples of this kind.

From this perspective, - riverside scene at qing ming festival - is often more like “socialist reasoning”.

《A Picture Along the River During the Qingming Festival》six volumes, more than 2 million words, and a huge number of characters. Readers often give up after reading less than half of the book.

But if you are a serious history buff, it is still worth a look.
