Zhao Yan also knows about Lu Yang's time and space, such as "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "The Investiture of the Gods", and several representative works by Jin Yong, etc.

Zhao Yan has watched "The Turbulent Waves" many times since he was a child, three or four times were reading books, and more were watching its TV series or series of movies.

If you want to compare "The Turbulent Waves" with Lu Yang's classic TV series or movies in this time and space, Zhao Yan thinks it is probably similar to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", slightly lower than "Journey to the West". This shows that "The Turbulent Waves" is well-known in the Ming Dynasty.

As mentioned earlier, Guan Ying's works have always been famous for their darkness. Logically, it is difficult to achieve such exaggerated dissemination. Even readers and movie fans like them, the official will not allow darkness works to become film and television works to be replayed year after year.

Guan Ying's other works do conform to this rule. Many of his works have been adapted into movies and TV series, but usually they are rarely replayed by TV stations after they are released once or twice.

Only "The Turbulent Waves" is an exception!

"The Turbulent Waves" is also a dark work, which is in line with Guan Ying's other works. However, compared with Guan Ying's other works, "The Turbulent Waves" has another characteristic that the Ming Dynasty officials cannot dislike, that is, the praise of the Ming Dynasty royal family, which greatly strengthens the cohesion of the Han people.

I don’t know if Guan Ying thought so much about this work. Anyway, when he read this book, or his movies and TV series, after seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Taizu, appearing, he led a group of civil servants and military generals to fight south and north, overthrow the rule of the Mongolian Yuan, and defeat other grass-headed kings, readers and movie fans always feel excited and excited, and the pride of the nation rises sharply.

It can be said that before Zhu Yuanzhang started his army, the social situation at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was turbid and waves. In the book "The turbid and waves", since Zhu Yuanzhang appeared, the current situation of turbid and waves was changed little by little. When the Ming Dynasty finally established a country, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was from the bottom of society, did not forget the brothers of the poor class. Not only did he set up a precedent in history to severely restrict the rights and salaries of civil and military officials, but also severely cracked down on various social and bad phenomena, and for a time, the whole world was cleared.

Zhao Yan remembers watching an old man studying history on a TV forum program say this: "The Ming Dynasty has such a long life, the people's will, and support the Ming Dynasty royal family so much, Guan Ying's book "The Turbulent Waves" is an indelible contribution!"

Zhao Yan thinks this is true. "The Turbulent Waves" is simply the best patriotic educational work. Its story is ups and downs, heart-stirring, and the characters are vivid. Even if you compare the events in the story to historical books, it is difficult to find anything contrary to the records in historical books. This is the awesomeness of Guan Ying, and it is also an important reason why the people of the Ming Dynasty think this book is wonderful and has a great sense of substitution.

When Zhao Yan was studying history in middle school, his history teachers recommended it to them, saying that if you want to understand the history of the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, it was too boring to read history books, and it was best to read Guan Ying's "The Turbid Waves". The historical events and characters in "The Turbid Waves" are basically real.

Compared to Long Yin, Guan Ying, who is also one of the two great martial arts masters, has always been a very controversial master.

The controversy over him is not whether he is qualified to be the title of master, but whether Guan Ying is a patriotic writer!

Before writing "The Turbid Waves", it was common for the literary world to criticize and criticize Guan Ying, because reading Guan Ying's works really hit the fighting spirit of young people. More than once, some people tended to commit suicide because they read Guan Ying's works.

After the publication of "The Turbulent Waves" and especially after it was adapted into a TV series and became known to the general public, during that period, the world's evaluation of Guan Ying suddenly made a 180-degree turn.

At that time, a book fan of Guan Ying shouted proudly: "Guan Ying is the deepest patriot! "The Turbid Waves" is proof of it!"

Even the Ming Dynasty official, who had always been disliked by Guan Ying, became a popular drama that was popular all over the country and had a huge reputation and the patriotic enthusiasm of the whole country increased unprecedentedly, and it rarely began to report "Guang Ying" in official media, praising Guan Ying.

Just when everyone thought that everyone had finally seen Guan Ying's true face, his enthusiastic patriotism, and thought that Guan Ying's works after him would still maintain the consistent style of "The Turbid Waves", continue to praise and beautify the Ming Dynasty royal family, inspire everyone's sense of national pride, and patriotic enthusiasm, Guan Ying's new work was released.

A book called "The Apostle of the Dark Night" surprised everyone again.

"The Apostle of Dark Night" is as dark as ever. When everyone first reads it, they all feel it is not unexpected. They all read it patiently, hoping that this book will sublimate the spirit of this book to a height of patriotism in the middle and late stages like "The Turbid Waves". As a result, those who hold this expectation have been seeing the end of this book and have not found the shadow of what they expect.

"The Apostle of the Dark Night" is an absolute dark work, without light! The plot of the story is as refreshing as ever, but the darkness of human nature, the injustice of the world, and the confusion about the future are filled with the whole book.

At that time, many people were stunned.

Is "The Apostle of the Dark Night" good?

Judging from the story alone, this book is absolutely wonderful, but after reading it, it really makes people feel pessimistic! After the publication of "The Apostle of Dark Night", many critics who had continued to praise Guan Ying were silent for a while. A few media were still trying to excuse Guan Ying when commenting on this book, saying that Master Guan Ying might have been in a bad state when he was writing it, or it might be the hidden highlight in this book. Everyone has not yet discovered it, which makes everyone look forward to Master Guan Ying's next masterpiece.

What's the result!

After Guan Ying's works, they were all completely dark, and they never let everyone see the feeling of "The Turbulent Waves" in his book.

Until Zhao Yan grew up, all sectors of society still had mixed reviews of Guan Ying.

The Ming Dynasty officials loved and hated Guan Ying. What they loved was Guan Ying's book "The Turbid Waves" that did have a great role in supporting the Ming Dynasty and the people's support. Naturally, it was because Guan Ying clearly had such amazing talent, but he never wrote works like "The Turbid Waves".

The royal family awarded Guan Ying a title, but none of them changed the style of Guan Ying's works.

Later, in a fit of anger, the royal family abolished Guan Ying's title, and since then, the style of Guan Ying's works has not changed.
