It is difficult to write about the Warring States Period. Since the emergence of historical novels, few authors have questioned them. Han Chuanzi, a fellow countryman in Nanyang, wrote a historical novel for the first time, starting with The Warring States, and his courage was commendable. Looking at this novel, the Warring States period is vividly portrayed, which is amazing! It's gratifying that there is a cold Kawako in the literary world.

If I can choose, I would like to live in the Warring States period. The traffic in the buildings, the breath of walking, the best use of everything, the best use of people, the coexistence of the world's sages, the emergence of heroes, a hundred flowers, a hundred schools of thought contend ... The Warring States period belongs to the literati, and it is a real literati era! In his novel The Warring States, Han Chuanzi restored the spirit and temperament of this era for us.
-Liu Jianwei
After reading this book, my first feeling is that Han Chuanzi is not writing about ancient China people, but about the world today. "Hanchuanzi" seems to have no intention of exploring the tragic root of the "Wang Ba Rebellion" in human history, but deliberately highlights the universal value of ancient and modern times-reconciliation. Here, he gave new meaning to the selective communication strategy advocated and adhered to by Su Qin, a grass-roots figure. I think this is "stop attacking and cutting, be kind to others, make sincere reconciliation and live a common life."

The climber watched the world surging with disappointment.

The novel weaves major historical events one by one through the clues of the four sons of Ghost Valley, Pang Juan, Sun Bin, Su Qin and Zhang Yi, and other minor figures such as counselors from various countries, so that the fate of historical figures is closely linked with the changes of the situation in various countries, forming a historical picture.
In today's era of historical novels, it is not easy to write an unconventional and unique historical novel. What Han Chuanzi, the author of The Warring States: Flying Dragons in the Sky, wants to control is a complex and magnificent historical picture of the Warring States. In this sense, Han Chuanzi's courage is commendable. Previously, his "Warring States: Four Sons Returning to the Mountain" has challenged historical novels with unprecedented difficulty.
As the saying goes, "stand tall and see far." The true meaning of this proverb also applies to the creation of historical novels. Without enough distance and height, it is difficult for human beings to enjoy the panoramic view of history. Only after thousands of years of thinking, I look down on history with the attitude that "all other mountains are dwarfed under the sky". Can you open your eyes and discuss history calmly with modern eyes, so that the world can have a panoramic view without being bound by historical facts? In a country of free imagination, we can enjoy Wang Yang and plans.
I think this kind of attempt and exploration made by Han Chuanzi in the second "Tianlong Babu" is successful. It is because of his mastery of language and his examination of history that this book stands out among many historical novels.
After all, writing historical novels is different from simple historical records, which requires the integration of historicity and literariness. Talking about historicity is not to tie the creation in the cage of historical facts, legends and allusions; Literariness doesn't just mean some kind of catering or subversion. In fact, the longer and more complicated the history, the more gaps there are, which brings difficulties to the creation of historical novels, but also brings freedom to gallop, enabling writers to spread their imagination wings, vindicate themselves in another world, make the vague history clear, and make the originally rational historical world emotional.
Although some historical events and characters' fates in Han Chuanzi's works have already been revealed in the history books, it does not affect our reading interest at all. In his sometimes "river of no return" description, and sometimes "small bridge like flowing water", those familiar historical facts and the fate of characters are still touching people's hearts, while those unfamiliar or processed events and characters are equally fascinating. The novel weaves Wang Xiang in Xuzhou, Tian Ji's shame, Pang Juan's rivalry for favor, Zhang Yi's drunken marriage, Langya Bridge's sword, Sun Bin's pretending to be crazy, the pianist's swan song, Su Qin's second return to China, the dispute, Sun Bin's theft, the Six Kingdoms and other minor events one by one.
If a writer takes troubled times as the theme, he must write about autocracy and servility, struggle and killing, fame and fortune and love and hate, success or failure and conspiracy, pride and frustration. However, Han Chuanzi seems to have no intention of showing these dog-eat-dog and intrigue. Therefore, in swords and swords and rivers of blood, what readers first see is often not the cruelty and unpredictability of the world, but the great love of the benevolent, the outline of the wise and the grand plan of the brave. The appreciation of these spirits is embodied in the book's revelation of the way of a powerful country against the enemy, the method of marching and the method of killing people by force.
In Han Chuanzi's works, real heroes don't waste their lives. No matter how many difficulties and frustrations they encounter and how many temptations of fame and fortune they experience, they will cherish the whole world forever, cherish their own selfish desires, cherish the happiness of the whole world, love and be harmonious for the great good, struggle in troubled times, wander in intrigue and contingency, and seek * * * * economy and fairness and justice. The main characters in the book, Guiguzi Four Saints, got their own unique skills under the enlightenment of Guiguzi, and successively went down the mountain to join the WTO and began their own life experiences. Pang Juan, known as a schemer, was forced by the situation and showed remorse for framing Sun Bin by hook or by crook, while Sun Bin's kindness, heart of saving the world and economic talent were impressive-Pang and Sun were different after all. Su Qin advocated uniting the weak with superb strategy and eloquence, and Zhang Yi persuaded the Great King to advocate swallowing the weak with golden mouths. Although they use different means to help the world, they have the same ultimate pursuit, that is, "* * *". On the stage of feudal disputes, they knew each other and competed with each other, supplemented each other, dispatched troops to each other, and strategized. No matter who they are, they can stand on high places and look at the world attentively, so as to follow the trend and unify the world.
"The dream of chivalrous men through the ages", Han Chuanzi can be described as the dream to the extreme. From the text, we can't see his temperament as a weak scholar. On the contrary, he is more like a chivalrous man who is happy and resentful. He climbed the summit with historical figures, watched the changing situation, drifted with the tide, and showed his pride in turbulent times. The narration of those vivid stories and the shaping of vivid characters are not only to activate history, but also to understand the spirit of the historical era and explore the mystery of human survival and development, so as to grasp the reality and look forward to the future.

Hanchuanzi VS February River
Frontless frost knife
□
I like to compare when reading novels. Only comparison can distinguish me. I like the historical novels of Han Chuanzi and Er Yuehe very much. When I like them, I often unconsciously compare them together. They are all from Nanyang, Henan. This place has produced excellent historical novelists, including those before Yao, those after February River, and now Hanchuanzi.
Yao's novels are the products of the revolutionary period, bearing the brand of that era. Let's not talk about them. The reason why Er Yuehe's novels are expensive once published in Luoyang is not only because of his good writing style and good stories, but because he subverts the previous standards for judging historical figures and has his own unique views, so that everyone can see a realistic and three-dimensional image of the emperor. Han Chuanzi, this is quite similar. He intercepted the troubled times of the Warring States, reinterpreted a historical legend with his own unique perspective, and expounded the views that novelists who wrote this history had never had before. He has his own unique view of history, which is the similarity between Hanchuanzi and February River. But what I want to say is not their similarities, but their differences.
Their concept of survival between the lines is different. Er Yuehe's historical novels openly describe court battles: father and son are suspicious, brothers turn against each other, ministers form gangs, traitors kill people ... After reading Yongzheng Dynasty, I admire the author's skill, but I feel sad: the world is too cruel, what else can there be but fighting, killing and hatred? Although February River overthrew Yongzheng's conviction and described him as a great man who served as a connecting link between the preceding and the following, I still shuddered after reading it. In contrast, reading Han Chuanzi's Warring States Policy is very exciting. The story itself is ups and downs, gripping, and one link after another, which makes you want to stop, but what makes you more happy is that you can appreciate a great kindness, wisdom, generosity and generosity everywhere. Han Chuanzi's outstanding figures do not seek self-interest or the interests of the country. As long as they can settle disputes for the world, they will do whatever it takes. There is no treason or patriotism, no loyalty to the monarch or betrayal of the Lord, because the world belongs to everyone, and everyone wants peace, tranquility and survival. Therefore, there is a great love for * * in Han Chuanzi's works.
Their writing perspectives are also quite different. February River's novels can be integrated into the nuances of historical life. Subtle to the palace utensils, official etiquette, clothing texture, cornices ... can be said to be truly "meticulous." It is no exaggeration to say that it is a novel describing life in the Qing Dynasty. Reading his novels has a strong sense of scene, as if you were in it. You will always be entangled in the diffuse historical atmosphere, immersed in it and unable to get rid of it. Therefore, you will be unconsciously influenced by the author's historical view, which is "fascinated by those who fall into it." At this point, I admire the ingenuity of February River. On the contrary, Han Chuanzi has always been detached from the outside world, but he is not outside. But standing on high, overlooking history. Reading his "Warring States Policy", you seem to be standing in the clouds and have a panoramic view of the world. In his works, Guiguzi, Sui Chaozi, Han Quanzi, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin and Pang Juan all stood at the peak, calmly observed the disputes among countries, and then balanced the world situation in their own unique way, promoting the historical process.
As the saying goes, "stand high and see far", just like the characters in the novel, whoever can stand at the highest place will eventually be the master of history. The chaotic Warring States was finally ruled by the State of Qin only because several monarchs of the State of Qin looked at it from a height. In the second year, Qin died, because he was self-righteous after winning the world, thinking that the world was safe, and he no longer stood on the heights to see the world, which probably gave us a deep enlightenment.
February River is about emperors, and Hanchuanzi is about literati. February River is about how slaves plan the country for their masters and how masters control slaves. What Han Chuanzi wrote was how to accommodate scholars all over the world and how scholars understood the world. I like the brushwork and unique perspective of February River historical novels, but in recent years I have been tired of those "braids" and "chirps" in my ears. Suddenly reading the exquisite conception and philosophical exposition of Nanyang writer Han Chuanzi made me feel refreshed and delighted-there are so many wise people in China's 5,000-year history!

Warring States VS romance of the three kingdoms
Sun Qun
□
Since its birth, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not only loved by the world, but also a treasure of military strategists. Throughout the ages, many military strategists have regarded The Romance of the Three Kingdoms as a treasure house of fighting. Compared with the profound and wonderful abstract theory in Sun Tzu's Art of War, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has richer, more intuitive and more vivid military cases. There is such a detail in the red TV series Long March: Kaifeng ridiculed Mao Zedong for using two books, one is The Art of War and the other is The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Although the words are arbitrary, they at least illustrate the weight of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the eyes of military strategists. Now, a long historical novel "The Warring States" is born. Under the wonderful interpretation of today's hermit Han Chuanzi, wonderful diplomatic skills are displayed in front of readers, attracting you to read them in one breath.
Turning to the page of the Warring States Period, the complicated situation of various countries, the intrigue of princes with different designs and the struggle of wits and wits against each other can be described as brilliant and dazzling. At the Jin Meng meeting, Qin Xiaogong was in a dilemma, and Sun Yang turned crisis into opportunity; Okanagan Valley is the king, Wei Huiwang is riding a tiger, and Hui Shi is giving directions. Forced to hire Zhou Shi, Qin Wei intends to compete for men; Playing the fool, defending the country and defending the country are caught in the cracks to survive ... Diplomatic experts come out of the mountains one after another to seek survival and development for the country. Depicting these masters paved the way again and again, setting off the appearance of two top figures, just like Zhuge Liang, Cheng Yu, Xu Shu and others in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. When the real protagonist appears, these people are really like "fireflies" submerged in "the brilliance of the sun and the moon". Therefore, in the Warring States period, when readers marveled at the superb diplomatic skills of Sun Yang, Hui Shi, Gongsun Yan and other masters, it was the first time that Su Qin and Zhang Yi appeared, allowing readers to appreciate the truly ingenious diplomatic strategies. With a glib tongue, Zhang Yi played with the powers, monarchs and subjects in his palm, and fully demonstrated the outstanding talent of a great diplomat with Lian Heng's tricks, but all this fell into the political layout carefully constructed by another more brilliant diplomat, Su Qin. That is the overall situation of seeking world reconciliation, and it is the wisdom crystallization of compassionate talented diplomats. Su Qin himself is unique in the history of human diplomacy. This novel describes in detail the great vision, eloquence and superb skills of these diplomatic masters. Military strategists can know how to fight when they read Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and diplomats can know how to make friends and make plans when they read Warring States Policy. Even ordinary readers can learn a lot of valuable experience in interpersonal communication.
As one of the four classical novels, Romance of the Three Kingdoms is also flawed. Around Battle of Red Cliffs, people from all walks of life are full of enthusiasm and excitement. As soon as Liu Bei entered Sichuan, the whole drama went from bad to worse. It can be said that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is anticlimactic and can only be regarded as a semi-classic. The warring States period is like a pot of water on the stove. The more it burns, the hotter it gets, the more it boils, the more it burns, the more it rolls, and the more exciting it looks.
Of course, it will take time to test whether the Warring States can become a classic. At least, "The Warring States" can be improved in Han Chuanzi's lifetime, but "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can only be regretted forever-maybe someone can make up for this shortcoming one day!
