"Young Emperor" describes a series of reforms adopted after entering the customs in the first year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, as well as the contradictions and struggles with the aristocratic forces in the Manchu Dynasty. At the same time, it also describes the emotional love story between the emperor shunzhi Fu Lin and the imperial concubine Wu Yunzhu. One of the successes of this novel is the description of the characters, and the original intention of literature is human studies. Therefore, in the process of shaping the young emperor, the author always takes the young emperor the emperor shunzhi Fu Lin as the creative center. All the characters, plots and clues in the book surround him and are written for him; It is through his fate, his struggle and success or failure that he tries to reflect the basic characteristics and characteristics of his times. Therefore, the author has a clear theme in this 700-page novel: trying to describe Fu Lin, the emperor at the border between Manchu and Han. The author's technique is successful, and he tries his best to use all available artistic means to complete the image of this character. Write both the majesty of the emperor and human nature; Writing about political struggles and writing about feelings like fire; Write not only the appearance, voice and smile, but also the inner world; It not only describes the emperor shunzhi in the eyes of Empress Zhuang, Princess Dong E, Princess Kang, Prince An, Prince Jane, Minister of Manchu Dynasty, literati and common people, but also describes the emperor shunzhi's different performances when interacting with various characters, which reflects all aspects of personality from many angles, so there are two pairs of important contradictions that constitute his personality characteristics: self-esteem and inferiority; Headstrong and fragile. Fu Lin's multiple personalities made him determined to run the country and ambitious. But this violent, self-respecting and moody supreme emperor is also a smart, studious, gentle and enthusiastic young man. And how does the author realize the natural harmony and unity of this contradiction in his creation? Take the Jinling incident as an example: before entering the customs, Manchu society was undergoing a transformation from clan society to slave society and feudal society, and its economy and culture were very backward. After entering the customs, they actually want to rule a Han nationality with thousands of years of history, developed economy, profound culture and large population, which is a heavy psychological burden for Manchu rulers, that is, the origin of the emperor shunzhi's inferiority complex. But inferiority has been suppressed by the arrogance of the conqueror and the majesty of the emperor. In Fu Lin's mind, this is only subconscious. He will never admit it or even think about it. When the news of Zheng Chenggong's siege of Jinling reached, it was at a time when the later officials framed Wu Yunzhu through the "food gain" incident, leaving Fu Lin in a state of psychological imbalance. In addition, the long-standing subconscious suddenly triggered, and Fu Lin, who was usually moody, suddenly lost control of herself, and her inferiority complex was exposed, so she ran to her mother in fright and tried to escape from the Commissioner. Queen Mother Zhuang's scolding greatly hurt Fu Lin's extremely sensitive self-esteem, aroused his rage, and suddenly made a 180 degree turn, desperate to use personal expedition. He wants to save face and wash away the shame of "coward" with the heroic image of personal expedition. Since then, all kinds of excessive and willful behaviors of splitting the throne, threatening the wet nurse and not listening to anyone's advice are all responses to the self-esteem scolded by the mother. Fu Lin is a wise man, of course, knowing that it is wrong to escape and personal expedition, but he will not take the opportunity to step down until Tang Ruowang, whose prestige and status are high enough, comes forward to dissuade him. After another wave of unrest, Kang Fei did not flee to Liaodong to remonstrate, but it also exposed the shortcomings of Fu Lin. He flew into a rage and rudely demanded a knife to cut Kang Fei, which led to the coup of Prince Jane. Although the coup was shattered, Fu Lin felt disillusioned and extremely weak physically and mentally, so he wanted to escape into an empty door and seek relief. He asked the Yulin monk to give him a dharma name, "You must choose the ugliest word", which is the psychological reaction at this time. Finally, in front of Wu Yunzhu, who was seriously ill, his confession finally revealed his inner inferiority and fragility ... This way, the ideological logic and psychological process of writing characters are more reasonable, which can achieve the organic unity of contradictory characters and make Fu Lin's image more full and complete.

Morning bell and dusk drum-reminder

The original intention of the morning bell is: Buddhist rules, playing drums in the temple at night and ringing the bell in the morning. The title here refers to: Young Kangxi and sourdrang queen, a long historical novel describing the second generation emperor Kangxi regaining imperial power and stepping into politics in the early Qing Dynasty.

Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of seven, facing a complicated and severe political situation. Under the pretext of restoring the patriarchal clan system, the Fourth Assistant Minister almost completely overthrew the emperor shunzhi's reform measures in line with the historical trend. In particular, Ao Bai's bossiness, cronyism, killing dissidents and coveting the throne have caused political chaos and boiling public resentment. Kangxi studied diligently under the guidance of his grandmother, Empress Dowager Tai, and had great political ambitions. He gradually became dissatisfied with the assistant minister's treachery and puppet status, and launched a sharp struggle with Ao Bai in various ways. In the third year of Kangxi, Ao Bai's plot to kill the king was exposed. Kangxi, who was only 16 or 17 years old, captured it in one fell swoop and completely regained the imperial power.

In fact, every book has its own reading place. Ice Moon is the loveliest and most respectable, Borg's hero is sad ... The most touching is "Twilight Drum and Morning Bell". Of course, The Son of Heaven is also a good novel, and you can read both of them.
