The following is a column by Banshan Master. An An is honored to be interviewed by Banshan. The following is an interview column by Banshan Master:

The author of this column has recently written two articles about love and love poetry in "The Rise and Fall of Kingdoms". However, the author points out that to only talk about romance would be an incomplete overview of this work.

In fact, just by looking at the title, you can tell that this is a book with a broad layout. The author is very skilled in romance and writes emotions and psychology in a delicate and subtle way, but that does not mean that this is a story that uses other elements to highlight love.

Especially when I look at the chapter names in the second volume, some of them are about strategy and fighting and killing. It is said that business war elements will be inserted later, so if I only recommend the romance part, it will inevitably bury the other exciting aspects of the book.

Therefore, this columnist conducted a remote interview with the author to hear his own views on this story.

Column owner:

An Da, since you said this book is not just about romance, why do you start with tens of thousands of words of delicate romance?

author:

Ha? Is it delicate... I think it's quite simple and crude... Some people accuse Liu Ying of being a scumbag who uses sweet words to deceive the heroine... But the princess of Qi who appears at the beginning is not the heroine at all...

Besides, those who can talk sweet words to make girls happy are not necessarily scumbags, right? They may also be chivalrous and gentle... heroes with online IQs? But some readers may have formed a fixed mindset and think that those who talk sweet words must be

He is a liar, but the good people are those who suffer deeply and have deep hatred?

Column owner:

So why start with a romance?

author:

If you look carefully... is it really just romance?

Maybe the tangled romance can make the gradually unfolding epic appear softer? More hazy? Only then can there be a sense of enlightenment and enlightenment in the unfolding process?

Just like good and evil need to be contrasted, beauty and ugliness need to be contrasted. How delicate is the emotion in the opening chapter, how grand will the subsequent pattern be? Haha...

Column owner:

Okay... where is the atmospheric pattern behind it embodied?

author:

emmm... When writing novels, of course, the main focus is on portraying characters. The more grand the characters are, the more grand the layout will be.

I think the pattern does not mean how big the map is, how many countries there are, how many people are killed in the war, nor does it mean how big the protagonist's aura is, how awesome his abilities are, or how complete the team's equipment is.

The atmosphere I want to talk about is psychological, moral, and spiritual.

I think young people today may be a little too impulsive when reading books. They want to see how to slap people in the face and how to overwhelm the audience... But this is misleading. People need to have a growth process. There is no love or hate for no reason.

There is no such thing as being strong for no reason.

Behavioral ability and psychological quality are also directly proportional.

Column owner:

Then you...throw out a...chestnut in the article? Can you explain what a strong psychology and an atmospheric spiritual realm are?

author:

In a nutshell, it probably means: A man can bend and stretch.

The characters in various countries are all "real men". I think this is positive spiritual food, which can be mixed with the dog food of romance and fed to readers who are not good at reading.

Column owner:

How about throwing a chestnut that can bend and stretch?

author:

For example, there are two male characters in the article who appear a lot.

Let’s talk about Lin Ying first.

He is the most fleshed-out, most complex character I have written so far, and the one who can make me cry and laugh the most.

In front of many martial arts masters in the article, he is powerless and even a somewhat hunchbacked piano and painting talent.

In order not to distance himself from his sister Shu'er, he disguised himself for eleven years and acted as a cut-off sleeve, blocking countless opportunities from wealthy families.

He could leisurely sell calligraphy and paintings on the old city tower of Chen State, or after returning to Chu State, he could study military books and become a competent lord. He could hold the title of General Jing Ning and be popular among all the generals.

Unwilling to fight the first battle in his life, he chose to fight a big defeat.

When he was a Jianghu man, he could compete with the Song Dynasty King Liu in his piano skills. Many years later, he could become the King of Chu and personally instigate the Chu-Song business war, destroying the prestige of the Song Dynasty.

Lin Ying's ability to bend and stretch is reflected in his dramatic behavior.

Column owner:

Haha, not bad! What about the other one?

author:

The other is Zhuge Congrong.

This is a more painful character for me to write because it is difficult to write.

He is a very iron-blooded man, but also chivalrous and tender. He has been strictly trained by his adoptive father since he was a child. Not only must he be good at martial arts, he must also be wise and brave, travel around the world, and have a broad vision. Because his adoptive father wants to cultivate him into a

The little brother who rules the world.

He has the most noble bloodline in all of Kyushu, and he also received the best and most devilish education...

But he got into trouble.

Are you thinking about the life and death of the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Restoration Allied Forces, your adoptive father's upbringing, or... are you thinking about the heroine in your heart?

If I don’t do it for the world’s righteousness, I would be ashamed to be a man. If I don’t do it for you, I would be ashamed of being a man.

When he was in a dilemma, he remembered what the heroine said to him:

Things that are urgent must be done first. If there are misunderstandings, disputes, or helplessness between you and me, as long as we trust each other, all grievances, all resentments, and all confusion will be resolved by time.

So he made a decision:

Do the urgent things first. If between you and me, time can't resolve it, let me resolve it.

A few years later, his martial arts skills were useless and he had no noble blood, but he could only become a beggar on the street.

But he will resolve her grievances step by step and heal her heartache.

Column owner:

It's a bit touching. So what do you think, such an inspirational book hidden in romance, strategy and martial arts, can be of help to young readers?

author:

Haha... I can't talk about help, after all, it's hard to agree with everyone.

Some people walked away as soon as they read the boring love story at the beginning. Some people got through the romance at the beginning and saw that the heroine started doing business. They thought it would develop into a business and farming story, so they left.

Some people like the touching love words and love songs at the beginning, and think that after a while, it would be good to learn martial arts in Jianghu and see the daily grievances, so they stay and continue reading, only to find that what follows is faith, conspiracy, battlefield, and court.

It was a bit scary, so I left.

The few readers who have not left Qianyi Qianqiu probably think that dating and fighting at the same time is extremely brain-burning...

All I can say is that I want to tell young people that if they want to be a winner in life, they must first learn to lower their profile.

If you want to have an even love relationship, you must first cultivate yourself into a better person.

Without chivalrous bones, how can we talk about soft intestines?

And chivalrous bones are not only blessed by profound martial arts.

Chivalrous bones are muscles and bones that can bend and stretch, and a calm and unhurried mentality.
Chapter completed!
