Background introduction and notes for new writers

This book takes the history of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties as the background. Speaking of the Five Dynasties, it is the most chaotic period in history. Most of the textbooks nowadays do not cover this history. Even if there is one, I will talk a few words and briefly describe it. This has caused many people to be unfamiliar with this period. So many friends screamed when they learned that I was going to write a novel about the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties as the background: "What is the Five Dynasties?"

Here I will briefly describe which sacred states of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were. The Tang and Song dynasties were two powerful dynasties in history, but these two dynasties were not closely connected with each other. There were still more than fifty years of chaos between the Tang and Song dynasties. This was the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were so chaotic that they could not be chaotic anymore. Why are the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms? Because during this period, there were five replacement dynasties in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and of course there were many regimes in the north that stood together. However, these five mutually inherited dynasties had the largest territory in these fifty years, so they were called the Five Dynasties. These five dynasties were the Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou in sequence. The shortest dynasty was the Later Han, which was only three years ago. The warlords achieved dynasty replacement by annexing each other and generals seizing power.

At the same time, many regimes appeared in the south, with ten countries larger, so they were called ten countries. Of course, this larger one was only for the south, and there was still a certain gap compared to the five regimes in the north. Since there were too many ten countries, everyone might not remember that the accumulation of historical homework would need to be accumulated for a long time. I hope everyone can pay attention to this period and read more of this history in the future. This is a matter of the descendants of China. Among the ten countries, you can mention the Southern Tang Dynasty, because the last emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty was Li Yu (disappeared, this sentence is really long), who wrote the "Yu Meiren" that fascinated thousands of middle-aged and elderly women. The Southern Tang Dynasty is the most powerful country among the ten countries. Of course, in addition to the ten countries, there are many small countries in the south. These countries may be the size of a production team, or the territory of several counties. Therefore, the Xiaguan will not list them one by one.

The historical background chosen in this book is the late Tang Dynasty, when major Jiedu governors merged each other and finally formed a five-generation pattern.

Before Xiaguan, I saw many writers who had written online articles about this period, but most of them failed to persevere. Generally, they wrote a few chapters and then stopped updating with hatred. However, Xiaguan would use practical actions to prove that what Xiaguan could complete would definitely not disappoint everyone. Ahem, Xiaguan also hopes to get everyone's support, so I hope everyone can always pay attention to "First-rank No. 1 Scholar". Friends with conditions can give rewards and throw red flowers. Xiaguan is very grateful. Other friends can click and click the word "Showing" with a mouse. Xiaguan can also be regarded as receiving everyone's support. Thank you for stepping down.

Here, I have some writing experience, hoping to help new authors. If a friend thinks something is wrong, he can correct it. After all, this is not an official speech. Everyone is based on the principle of common progress, communicates with each other and promotes each other.

First of all, gorgeous language is not the highest level of literature. With your own thinking and insights, literature is the most real and touching. Only things that you understand from the bottom of your heart can promote the continuous progress of literature, constantly update the blood of articles, and improve your writing ability. Remember, literature is precious and simple, don’t seek fancy, this is the same as being a human being.

You can have complex and gorgeous styles, but you must stop at the right time and grasp your own standards. Especially for writers who write online novels, everyone reads a novel to pass the time and seek a freshness. A style that is too complex and gorgeous and talks-in-one style is not worth imitating.

Secondly, authors with ambition and spirit should have their own pursuits. They are very clear about their purpose, which is why many writers are still struggling to persist in the current situation where there is no successor to martial arts novels. I sincerely hope that they can succeed. If you say too much, go back to the right track and look at the big picture, life is just an article, with beginning and ending, with beginning and ending. The subject matter of writing should come from life, take it from life, and remove the complexity.

After the beauty, everyone should learn to pay attention to life. What is writing is like and what is life. If a person can remove the complexity and glory and repair his own words, then his life will not be clean and will definitely change. Just like life, if lies and clichés are piled up all over the world, then this world will not make people happy. This is also the reason why the official repeatedly emphasized that writing should be simple, realistic, and not hypocritical. The kingdom is based on reality.

Some people may want to refute: "Does science fiction still be based on reality?" The official can only say: "Science fiction expresses a beautiful wish of people, which in some ways also flows deep in their hearts. Now many science fiction novels will also add many tearjer plots. To be tearjerjer, they must be based on life and grasp people's emotional factors. These people have a bit of the style of masters."

In writing, narrative essays are the most basic and difficult. Looking back, we learned to make sentences and write narrative essays when we were young. If we wrote novels and poems from the beginning, it would be even more inaccurate and impossible.

Everything starts with the basics. Writing narratives is such a basic training. First of all, you must use words to explain things clearly and write sentences smoothly. It can be said that this is the most basic, most important, and most difficult. We have been writing articles since we were very young, but it is still so difficult to write a good article after decades.

Novelists have two major skills: one is to record actual objects, and the other is to imagine and play. The former requires recording the real social life scenes, while the latter requires imagining and changing artistic techniques. The superposition of the two forms the usual novel works.

Xiaguan believes that a good novelist must be able to write good narrative essays. However, people who cannot write good narrative essays cannot have the ability to create good novels. This is because the foundation required for literary writing - basic and normal expression abilities.
