Chapter 441 The general trend of the world (Chapter 1)
Li Min said: "I brought a new style today!"
Everyone was confused.
They all asked in unison: "What style?"
There are poems, lyrics, music and poems from the early Tang Dynasty, as well as some prose.
As for other literary styles, they are all in their infancy, and some have not even appeared yet.
Therefore, what Li Min brings today is completely different from the styles mentioned above.
Everyone was wondering, what did Li Min want to say?
"novel!"
As soon as Li Min's words came out, everyone was puzzled.
What is a novel?
The novel is a literary genre that focuses on portraying characters and reflects social life through complete storylines and environmental descriptions. The foundation of the novel went through more than 800 years of accumulation and precipitation in the Pre-Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. When history entered the Tang Dynasty
The novel was officially formed.
It was not until after the Song Dynasty that novels began to truly shine.
At this time, it was the early Tang Dynasty, and the novel had not yet developed.
At this time, everyone began to speculate.
I keep guessing, what is that novel?
In view of the punctuation marks advocated by Li Min before, will it be related to punctuation marks?
If it is, it can only be said to be an auxiliary, because the novel should make people look relaxed, rather than guessing what the author means by writing this.
Amid everyone's speculation, it seemed that the knowledgeable Kong Yingda had opened his mouth.
"There is a saying in "Zhuangzi: Foreign Things": To serve as a county magistrate is to decorate a novel, which is far away from Dada. Perhaps this novel is a novel written by Mr. Zili?"
"No!"
Li Min directly denied it.
Then he said:
"What Zhuangzi calls novels refers to trivial remarks, which are far from the concept of novels."
As a result, everyone fell into deep thought.
Li Shimin also began to join in the speculation.
Fang Xuanling said: "I have seen the word "novel" in Huan Tan's "New Theory" of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He said that novelists combined Can Cong's Xiaoyu and used recent metaphors to write short books to manage the body and family.
Remarkable words."
"Wei Guogong's meaning is closest to it, but it's not quite the same."
So, everyone asked in unison: "What is a novel?"
"In the past, there were mainly four aspects. One was fables. Books such as "Mencius", "Zhuangzi", "Han Feizi", and "Warring States Policy" have many fables with distinctive characters. They have brought
It has the feel of a novel.
The second is historical biographies. For example, "Zuo Zhuan", "Warring States Policy", "Historical Records", and "Three Kingdoms" describe characters' personalities and narrate storylines, which may provide materials for novels or accumulate narrative experience for novels.
The third is the literati's notes. This is especially obvious in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. The literati's notes mostly record some anecdotes, anecdotes, and materials.
The fourth is folk entertainment. Each dynasty has resident speakers and storytellers in teahouses and restaurants. Based on the storybook, they tell a short story (novel) every day to attract guests to come back every day to listen to the book, hoping to ensure business.
Prosperous.
But now, the novel I am talking about is different. It is a literary genre that focuses on portraying characters and reflects social life through complete storylines and environmental descriptions."
What he said was mysterious.
But everyone is completely confused.
Does such a thing still exist in this world?
Even the erudite Kong Yingda doesn't know what the so-called novel is.
Hou Junji even said: "I'm afraid this novel was created by Zi Li to fool us, right? You have given a new culture to a literary style that does not exist at all. What virtues and abilities do you have? Can you create a new literary style?"
Li Min didn't want to talk to him.
Instead, he continued: "I happen to have a novel, would you like to hear it?"
As soon as this was said, everyone expressed their interest in hearing it.
Because he talked about the new literary style, everyone wanted to know what it was about.
In this case, Li Min is welcome.
There are so many genres in his browser, and there are countless novels.
As long as he is willing, the novel he wants can be obtained in just an instant.
"Please give me some advice from Mr. Zili!"
At this time, everyone expressed their willingness to listen.
This is especially true for Li Shimin in the dark.
He said: "If this kid can really compose any so-called novel, it may be a great success for Datang!"
He didn't know how much impact the subsequent novel would have on society.
Novels can be adapted into plays, TV series, movies, etc. for dissemination.
It can also bring spiritual enjoyment to people when they are bored.
"Well, I'm here to read a novel for you today!"
After finishing, Li Min pretended to take out a book, which was a book without any words printed on it.
Others didn't know, but the girls behind him could see it clearly.
Is Li Min really that detached? Can he read the novel without writing it?
They didn't know that Li Min knew a lot.
At this time, he was going to read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one of the four great classics.
The author Luo Guanzhong, also known as Huhai Sanren, was a novelist in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.
This book is of extremely high value and is also Li Min's favorite book.
Therefore, he planned to read it and let these people know what a novel is.
So, he spoke:
"The rolling waters of the Yangtze River pass by, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure are all gone. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red a few times. The white-haired fisherman on the river is used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine happily meets. So many things in ancient and modern times.
, all in laughter.
Talking about the general trend of the world, if it is divided for a long time, it will be united, and if it is united for a long time, it will be divided. The seven kingdoms fought over the weekend and merged into Qin. After the destruction of Qin, Chu and Han fought against each other and merged into Han. The Han Dynasty revolted and unified the world since the Emperor Gaozu killed the White Snake.
Later, Guangwu Zhongxing, spread to Emperor Xian, and was divided into three kingdoms. The cause of the chaos probably started with Emperors Huan and Ling
…
The three of them rescued Dong Zhuo and returned to the stronghold. Zhuo asked the three of them what their current positions were. Xuande said, "White body." Zhuo treated him lightly and was not polite. When Xuande came out, Zhang Fei was furious and said, "We will go to the bloody battle in person."
, I saved this guy, but he was so rude. If I don’t kill him, it’s hard to get rid of my anger!” So I took the knife into the tent to kill Dong Zhuo.”
When he was there, he would pretend to be flipping through a wordless book.
This kind of operation made the girls feel puzzled.
Could it be that only Li Min can read the contents of this book?
When Li Min finished reading the first chapter, he stopped.
I saw everyone sitting quietly.
They are addicted to the plot and cannot extricate themselves.
Especially Li Shimin, his eyes became urgent.
Some people directly asked: "Mr. Zili, what happened to Dong Zhuo next? Is he dead?"
"Such a villain must die thousands of times! If I were Zhang Fei, I would kill Dong Zhuo directly!"
This was the first time, and everyone was hooked.
This is everything Li Min wants.
"Mr. Zili, what's next? Please continue reading for us!"
Kong Yingda said.
Li Min signaled that he was not in a hurry.
If they were told that Li Min was holding a blank book, the result would be very interesting.
