There are many books about the Qing Palace, such as Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong, and there are at least dozens and hundreds of them. Quality? Not bad. Personally, I think the best is Cai Dongfan (1877- 1945), The Romance of the Manchu Dynasty written by Xiaoshan people in Zhejiang Province (illustrated with pictures and texts). 1890 (16th year of Guangxu) was admitted as a scholar. 19 10 went to Beijing for the senior high school entrance examination, and was assigned to Fujian as a magistrate's reserve. Dissatisfied with the bad habits of officialdom, he claimed to be ill, and returned to Li on 19 165438. Since then, I have been writing and teaching in primary schools. When War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, he didn't want to live under the bayonet of the Japanese invaders. He took refuge and drifted from place to place, and died on the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. In the late Qing Dynasty, Yan Fu, Xia Cengyou and others took a fancy to the novel's huge social enlightenment function and attempted to publicize the idea of political reform and reform through the novel. 1898 After the coup, Liang Qichao went into exile, founded New Novel magazine, and advocated "novel revolution". Since then, novels have received unprecedented attention, and various novels, including "Historical Romance", are surging. During the Republic of China, novel creation flourished. Cai Dongfan is a patriot. He cheered for Wuchang Uprising, * * and Chu Jian, but was soon met by Yuan Shikai who stole the country. Angry at current events, Cai Dongfan was determined to "play a historical story by borrowing a genre" and take historical novels as a tool to save the country. During the period from 19 16 to 1926, he worked day and night, and successively wrote 1 1 China popular romances, with 1040 times, which reproduced the period from Qin Shihuang to the Republic of China in the form of novels. After publication, it quickly became popular and reprinted many times.
