Chapter 393
Words:842Update:22/06/21 13:01:28
When I woke up, it was already four in the morning. Tonight, I have to go to my aunt's house for dinner and maybe play cards. I can't guarantee that there will be a later update … but there's a high chance that there won't be any today.
Also, let's talk about Sakurai Tokimasa's words. When I was writing, I thought about being more objective, but on second thought, Sakurai Tokimasa is a foreigner, so his point of view should be subjective and a little one-sided. When an author writes, he uses the pen (keyboard) in his hand to create a world. In this world, there are all kinds of people, different thoughts, different worldviews … If one can do this, then one can be considered a qualified author.
When I wrote that sentence, I wrote it from Sakurai Tokimasa's point of view. (Other than this sentence, I didn't write anything good about the Qing Dynasty) Personally, I feel that this is the only way to perfectly create the distinct characteristics of the characters, as well as the conflict of worldviews. Of course, I'm still far from that level.
Look, Li Xianyu doesn't think the Qing Dynasty is good. He always felt that it was the most tragic era in history.
In terms of the clash of ideologies between the characters, I think I did a good job. My characters don't have a face, be it a villain or a good character.
But maybe the readers are too rational, or my book is too immersive. You always get out of character, and when you see something that doesn't match your point of view, you immediately think it's the author's problem. Say: Ah, author, you're a Qing bootlicker …
You don't have a soul reading like this (manual comedy).
Then, let's talk about my point of view. In simple terms, the Qing Dynasty was a powerful dynasty in the early stage, weak in the middle, and tragic in the late stage.
None of the dynasties in China were as tragic as this one. Compared to the late Qing Dynasty, all of this was child's play. "After Cliff Mountain, there was no more China."
As for the issue of territory, the Qing Dynasty was indeed the "largest" dynasty in China's history. Even the Tang Dynasty wasn't as big as it.
This is not what I said, it's what history says. Those readers who say that I have too many personal points of view should look at the history themselves.
I didn't include the Yuan Dynasty here, so I added double quotes. Because the debate about the Yuan Dynasty was more intense than the Qing Dynasty. Some people said that the Yuan Dynasty wasn't China's, and China was just one of the many little brothers it fought. The best proof is that the Ming Dynasty only chased them out.
So, the Ming Dynasty wasn't as big as the Qing Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty took over Beijing, they included their original territory and the territory of the Ming Dynasty (This is official history, not private property).
There were also people who said that the Yuan Dynasty belonged to China. If the Qing Dynasty was considered China, then why couldn't the Yuan Dynasty be considered China?
I think it was mainly because the Mongols split, and the Manchus were assimilated. (This is my personal point)
Actually, because the last chapter ended with a joke, and some people took it seriously.
That's why I'm afraid that if I don't update something today, you'll really think that this book is over. It just so happened that everyone was debating about the Qing Dynasty, so they wrote a separate chapter on this topic … Don't worry, it's not over yet.
Happy.
