"Knowing the past is to control the present. Being able to know the past is the Taoist scripture." Dear readers and friends, thank you very much for your appreciation and reading my historical novel "The Spring and Autumn Records of Wushi".

Since we are writing historical novels, let’s briefly talk about what historical novels are. Historical novels, as the name suggests, are novels with historical stories as the subject matter. However, the author believes that historical novels are actually very difficult to write. Because as a novel, the most important thing is to be good and fun, and the stories should be vivid and interesting. The characters in the novel should have clear positions and outstanding personalities. However, real historical stories are often not so fun, and the right and wrong of historical characters are often "mixed" in the right and wrong of historical events. Moreover, the evaluation of a certain historical event is always right and wrong. Although it is clear bystanders, because each bystander has different positions and experiences, two completely different views may be formed for the same historical event and the same historical figure.

This will create certain obstacles to the writing of historical novels. The more you know history and the more you understand it, the less you dare to write "historical novels". For example, what do novelists often portray Wei Zhongxian? What do Chongzhen be portrayed? I believe that if I don't talk about it here, you will definitely be able to imagine it. But is that a real historical image? This question can be found in many historical celebrities from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. If you really want to discuss the cause of the fall of the Ming Dynasty in detail, it will probably be endless to debate in the days and nights. How can a novel book tell the Qing Dao Ming?

Therefore, writing historical novels is destined to be more difficult than other forms of novels. If readers don’t like reading other forms of novels, they are not read. But if they are historical novels, it is completely different. If they are not so "likable", they are likely to be criticized. However, although historical novels have so many inconveniences, many scholars have liked to challenge and try "historical novels". Why? Because historical novels are really the most charming form of novels.

The so-called "story" is what happened in history. Since it has happened, it must have value that can be used as a reference. In the words of Emperor Taizong of Tang, it is "using the ancients as a mirror to know the rise and fall." Therefore, the reason why historical novels can last forever is precisely because every reader hopes to draw knowledge and nutrients from the vast river of history in a simpler way. This knowledge can often help oneself, so that one can gain more accurate insight into human nature and human hearts.

Therefore, the author hopes to use this novel to explore a unique journey of historical discovery with readers. Amidst many historical hypotheses, an unusual historical context will emerge.

As the saying goes, a thousand cups of wine are enough for friends. I hope readers can gain something and think about it in my novel.

In addition, today is another special day for me. Because today is the birthday of my wife. Here, I also want to take advantage of the opportunity to start a new book and say loudly to my wife:

"My wife! Happy birthday to you! Momo!"
