Chapter 81 "Ming" Trend (Part 2)
"What Things in the Ming Dynasty" was launched in Taiwan half a month after its launch in Hong Kong.
Then in just one or two months, the Ming Dynasty wind blew across Hong Kong and Taiwan, with sales reaching 500,000 or 600,000 copies.
Almost everywhere are people who read "Ming Dynasty" and people who talk about "Ming Dynasty". It seems that as soon as "Ming Dynasty" comes out, paper in Luoyang is expensive. There are quite a lot of places with wells, and there are ancient styles of "Ming Dynasty".
Such a Ming Dynasty history reading book that was popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan, involving hundreds of Ming Dynasty historical objects and has been spreading for more than 300 years, naturally triggered a protracted war of verbalism.
Some people said disdainfully: "That is, the story is good, there is not much academic value, and the subjective tendency is very serious."
"A hyped bestseller is a waste of time and life after reading it."
"This kind of garbage that poisons Hong Kong and Taiwan should not be released at all." Someone gritted his teeth and shouted.
Faced with such ill-hearted accusations, Professor Wang Limin of New Asia Academy stood up: "One is still less than sixteen years old, and the other freshman is able to write such a work, we should look at it with a tolerant attitude."
"There is a lot more history than novels and a lot more jokes than history."
"Overall, it's pretty good. The writing attitude is sincere, the language is playful, and it's pretty good."
"Lin Jing is worthy of being the author of writing three novels. She also used the brushwork of a little hand in this book, but it was easier and more humorous, and incorporated popular elements from the present, integrating into the "Things of the Ming Dynasty" that readers now see. It has both humor and official history, and there are also some details and descriptions of the characters' psychology. For a person who only sees the history of the Ming Dynasty from books, he will find that the history written by Lin Jing is more interesting and more realistic. The characters are no longer stereotyped, but have their own multifaceted and complexity."
"I have read this book. Although I don't know how it is written, I always think the author is a very powerful person. I heard that he is still a girl. Wow, I really want to say, I like you." Some people are both slutty and sexy.
"It is the biggest advantage of this book that can make more people interested in history," said Jin Yong.
"It is completely different from her previous three works. Miss Lin Jing is very open in this book, both in terms of writing and thinking. You can say it is vulgar, but it is easy to understand; it is true, it is really touching; it is interesting, it is fun." Lin Yanni, a recognized best essayist in Hong Kong, said, "It is enough to have these three points."
When asked about Yishu, Yishu claimed that he had not read it yet and could not make an evaluation.
Others also hold the theory of the middle: "This book uses many vivid and lively methods in its narrative, which is mainly true to the historical books seen by the author (note that it is a historical book, not a history), but there are many elements that add to the jealousy and imagination, such as the ideological activities of the characters, which are basically the author's own ideas. If you want to study Ming history in depth, you still have to read the historical books and the works of historians."
There are also historical nihilists who believe that there is only one historical truth, but the only thing they really know is the moon, because for billions of years it has only been staring at every move on the earth. But the moon has no thinking and cannot speak, so the historical truth is destined to not be reproduced in the hands of any person. In short, the historical truth is not on the earth!
In other words, this book should not appear, nor should it appear, including all other historical works.
As Mr. Lu Xun said, among the readers of "Dream of Red Mansions", scholars see "The Book of Changes", Taoists see lust, talented men see lingering, revolutionaries see platoons, and rumors see secrets in the palace.
When everyone looks at "Ming Dynasty" from their own perspective, they will have their own praise and criticism.
There are a thousand Hamlets in the so-called thousand readers.
In addition, the Ming Pao, which has great power, even interviewed Qian Mu.
Qian Mu is a well-known master of Chinese studies. As early as the beginning of the Republic of China, there was a saying of "Southern Qian and Bei Hu". Nan Qian is naturally Qian Mu, and Bei Hu is Hu Shi.
Qian Mu moved to Hong Kong as early as 1949 and founded the New Asia Academy. In October 1967, Qian Mu was invited by Jiang to go to Taiwan as a scholar who "returned to China". The following year, he moved to Sushuangxi, Wai Shuangxi, Shilin District, Taipei City. In the same year, he was elected as an academician of the "Central Research Institute".
In the past ten years, he has lived in seclusion in Sushu Building in Waishuangxi, Taipei City, specializing in lectures and writings, and has no longer discussed the world.
The reason why reporters interviewed Qian Mu was that, firstly, Lin Jing is now studying at the New Asia Academy of Xiangjiang Chinese University, and in name, he can be regarded as Qian Mu's student; secondly, naturally, Qian Mu once evaluated the Ming Dynasty in "Political Gains and Losses in China" as: Unfortunately, this stage of Western history was progressing, while this stage of China (Ming Dynasty) has regressed, at least in terms of the political system, it has greatly regressed.
Therefore, many people think that Qian Mu was a black man in the Ming Dynasty.
Those who read "What Things in the Ming Dynasty" can easily see from it that Lin Jing is a fan of the Ming Dynasty.
Some people even commented that "Ming Dynasty" is a "magical work" for the Ming Dynasty to overturn the verdict. Without this book, many people probably think that when they mention the Ming Dynasty, the bad impression of "the darkest dynasty in Chinese history" appears in their minds.
One is black in the Ming Dynasty and the other is pink in the Ming Dynasty. Of course, Lin Jing cannot be compared with a master of Chinese studies like Qian Mu, but Lin Jing is the topic of the year this year.
There are many talented people in the popular literary world in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Martial arts novelists include Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng, Gu Long, Chen Qingyun, Wen Rui'an, etc. Romantic novelists include Qiong Yao, Cen Kailun, Ji Xiaotai, Yan Qin, Yishu, etc. Others include prose Lin Yanni and Li Bihua, but those who can start writing history at the age of Lin Jing and write new ideas (although it is only a novel idea in brushwork), but there is no one who can write history at the age of Lin Jing.
Therefore, although all the above-mentioned writers have a greater reputation than Lin Jing, they are not as topical as Lin Jing.
There is news when there is a topic, so whenever Lin Jing releases new works, she will become the target of pursuit by the media.
The previous "Heroics" is, "Kunlun" is, "Those Times I Can't Go Back", and the current "Things in the Ming Dynasty" is also the same.
If Qian Mu can obtain his evaluation of Lin Jing and Lin Jing's works, even if it is just a word, it can be used as a material and hyped it up, the newspaper will not worry about not having sales at that time.
Many of the reporters interviewed were ulterior motives.
Because they do not think that even if a master of Chinese studies like Qian Mu who has been famous for decades, he would not read popular historical books such as "story meeting" like "Ming Dynasty".
Of course it is good to read it, but if you haven’t read it, it’s better.
Just like the joke of "Tang Monk and reporters" that was widely circulated in later generations, as journalists, no matter which possibility they are, they always have a way to get what they want.
But they did not expect that Qian Mu had read a little, and expressed his opinions generously during an interview with reporters.
"It is easy to understand and has some considerable points. If you can continue to work hard, you will surely achieve something in the future."
Qian Mu's evaluation means to correct the name of Lin Jing and "What Things in the Ming Dynasty".
