    (The postscript is written in the front, which is a bit strange, but it is written in the back and can only be accessed through IP, so forgive me for putting it here) I finally finished it.  (None., pop-up window

    This is the first book.  From September of the year before last to now, it took more than a year to write and stop writing, but I finally finished it.  Although the time was a bit long, fortunately there was no TJ.

    Thank you very much to friends who pay attention to and love this book. Thank you all for your love and support for this book.  If it weren't for you, it might have been a long time ago.

    It¡¯s a bit sad that my grades are not good.  But good-looking books may not necessarily lead to good grades (consol yourself).  Of course, a truly good book will be appreciated by others.  Therefore, I am even more grateful to all my friends who have benefited from this experience.

    Of course, maybe I didn¡¯t write well enough, but I wrote very carefully.

    In historical novels, the characters in the novel may be made up, and the process of historical events is also fabricated.  But in the book I wrote, the geography, customs, and most of the events at that time in history are not fictional, but attached to them, trying to be as real as possible.

    For example, I checked a lot of information about the layout of Chang'an City and Luoyang City. I tried my best to use real names on the layout of the two most important capital cities in the Tang Dynasty, including the layout of temples, palaces, pools and pavilions, and even went as far as to carefully describe the layout of Chang'an City and Luoyang City.  There is a well-documented location of the "Fangli" where famous figures lived in Chang'an City.  The same is true for "Northern Capital" Taiyuan and "Yangzhou".  For other things, such as the names of places all over the world at that time and the names of streets and lanes in small places, we have tried our best to check the facts.

    Not only that, I also took into account the changes in place names in the Tang Dynasty and the historical era I wrote about.  Take Chang'an for example. Many people know Chang'an, but many people don't know that Tang Chang'an and Han Chang'an are two completely different cities.  Tang Chang'an was built in the early Sui Dynasty. It was a completely new city built south of Han Chang'an.  Another example is the imperial palace. Many people know that there were three major palaces in Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty: "Taiji Palace", "Daming Palace" and "Xingqing Palace"; but few people know that "Taiji Palace" originally continued to be called the "Taiji Palace" in the Sui Dynasty.  "Daxing Palace" was renamed "Taiji Palace" in the first year of Jingyuan (710) of Emperor Ruizong of the Tang Dynasty.  Moreover, Daxing Palace was the real palace of the emperors in the early Tang Dynasty. The political turmoil from Li Yuan, Li Shimin to the early days of Li Zhi all took place here.  The Daming Palace was originally built by Li Shimin after Li Yuan moved out of the palace. However, Li Yuan died before he could live there, so the construction was stopped.  It was not until the Daxing Palace was low-lying and humid due to the terrain that it was not good for health, and in addition to the flood disaster in Yonghui in the fifth year, that the Daming Palace was built again.  Therefore, Wu Zetian's main political activity in Chang'an City was the Daming Palace.

    There are also the customs of the people at that time, from titles to clothes, we try to be strict.  For example, in the Tang Dynasty and before, women were called not by their ¡°husband¡¯s surname¡± but by their own surname. Many travelers may not have noticed this.  Another example is the driving rules of the ancients on the streets: "keep to the right", "the young avoid the old, the lower avoid the upper, the low avoid the noble, the light avoid the heavy", etc., and even the names of wines in the Tang Dynasty I try to "restore" them as much as possible.

    One thing I particularly want to point out is that most people know that the Tang people were open-minded and bold in their clothing, but few people have noticed its evolution.  Someone once accused me of writing about the "black gauze veil" which is purely nonsense, but according to my research, aristocratic women in the early Tang Dynasty did use "full body veils" when traveling (a bit like the one worn by Ren Yingying in Yu Ma's version of "The Swordsman")  , and some only used "hoods" (like in Lao Mouzi's "Ambush from Flying Daggers"). Of course, it became more and more open later, and many aristocratic women simply went out in men's clothes or Hufu for convenience.  It is also true that palace clothes are exposed, but most of them are at banquets.  Moreover, the upper part can be exposed boldly, but the lower part is tightly protected.  Although the skirts are not as "stingy" as the later prohibition of showing feet, "long skirts with trains" are also often used.

    Of course, I am not always so rigorous in writing, and some ancient people¡¯s names are not deliberately ¡°restored¡±.  For example, "brother" in Tang Dynasty can refer to elder brother, but sometimes it is also used to refer to one's father.  If it were really written like this, everyone would probably feel dizzy after reading it.  )

    In short, I try my best to be "rigorous and rigorous" (I think I have finished writing this book, and I can even write a "Tang Dynasty Secret Book").

    The story structure is also as logical and reasonable as possible, rather than just making up random things.

    Of course, there are inevitably many unsatisfactory things in it, and I ask for your understanding and corrections.

    I remember that in the discussion group, I once asked, "I think my writing is good, why"?  A book friend said, "The day you feel that your writing is not good enough will mean that your writing has improved."  Thank you very much for this book friend¡¯s advice.  If it is true, when I wrote the second half of the second volume, some friends may have felt that my writing style had changed.  At that time, I felt that what I wrote before was indeed "unsatisfactory". I think that was because I had made some progress!

    All in all, there are many unsatisfactory aspects in the book.  There are also many things that I am not satisfied with.  Maybe one day I will revise the version, so please pay more attention then.

    Thanks againSupport from all my friends!  Please also look forward to my next book, haha!
