Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 546 542. Comments on Along the River During the Qingming Festival

Today I would like to recommend to you a historical novel written thirteen years ago.

"Along the River During the Qingming Festival", light ink and blue shirt.QD, level 3 author.

Category: History - Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties.

【Introduction】

"The shame of Jingkang has not yet been avenged; when will the hatred of the ministers be extinguished?
Shen Tuo, a high-ranking official of the Republic, possesses the body of the captive Emperor Qinzong of Song. See how he turns the tide, rebuilds the old mountains and rivers, revive the Song Dynasty, and bring back the prosperity depicted in the Qingming Shanghe Tu.

【Brief Comment】

I originally wanted to write the Golden Five Chapters, but the first chapters of this book don’t have chapter titles, so it’s not very easy to write.

The story actually begins with the Jingkang Incident, when Emperors Huizong and Qinzong were imprisoned in five cities and guarded by a thousand soldiers.

The protagonist Shen Tuo was a high-ranking official in his previous life. He died in a car accident and traveled through time to become Zhao Heng, the Emperor Qinzong of Song Dynasty, and later changed his name to Zhao Huan.

His body was weak at first. He would gasp for breath after walking a few steps and looked hollowed out.

So after he adapted to this era, he started exercising and being kind to others. He went to the stadium to watch the Jin people play polo, but a group of Song Dynasty children refused to play with them.

After the protagonist inquired about the reason, he learned that the leading young man was a descendant of a farming family and was proficient in horsemanship, so he ordered him to fight. The result was naturally a crushing victory.

He took these young men under his command and kept them for future use.

At the same time, he was going to Shangjing to participate in the royal competition. With this team, he became full of confidence.

Of course, these were all illusions he had to create as the Hun De Hou. Otherwise, how could he have made friends with grassland heroes, defeated the Jin army, successfully returned to the Southern Song Dynasty, and then recaptured the throne from Song Renzong Zhao Zhen.

So, even though this book is short in number, it tells the story of this not-so-long time interval very clearly, and the protagonist even takes back the throne from a prisoner.

This book lacks a system or cheat codes; it relies primarily on the protagonist's extraordinary political skills, ability to treat others peacefully, and well-thought-out planning to change his own destiny and rewrite history. Additionally, Danmo Qingshan.QD has written eight other excellent works, including "Returning to the Ming Dynasty as Crown Prince" and "The Rise of the Han Dynasty."

"Along the River During the Qingming Festival" has 14 collections on Qidian, 1381 collections in the bookstore, and 23 fans.

As for the connection between the title of the book and the famous painting, and what kind of patriotism the author wants to express, it is left to the readers to understand.

However, many details in the book reminded me of another fictional historical novel, "The Son-in-Law".

Although "The Son-in-Law" is fictional, many details still come from the Song Dynasty, especially the Jingkang Shame, which just shows the charm of the novel in another way.

Are there any connections between the two? I believe there definitely is.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

The achievements of these veteran historical authors may not be as brilliant as before. Some have even withdrawn from the online literature circle or changed their identities and started over.

But the works they left behind are still very interesting to look at sometimes.

Especially those works with excellent writing and relatively complete story structure are much better than those reckless people who directly use the system nowadays.

If you can't find any good historical novels to read now, you might as well take a look at these early works. You can still learn a lot of writing skills.

Of course, the most important thing is diligence!
