Riding the wind of rebirth

The novel section of the Clover Forum is actually still in its wild development stage. The content mainly comes from several sources. The first is the content copied and pasted from various forums. Many of them were downloaded from Hong Kong and Taiwan websites by students from major universities using Aidianfa in the early years, and then converted into simplified Chinese using the traditional-simplified conversion function provided by the Clover Editor and then posted on the forum.

In addition, there are some novels that are very popular among college students, such as science fiction and romance. They are rented from book stalls and typed into the forum by hand on a voluntary basis. College students are full of energy, and a few words of praise can make them feel less tired. They even call it "typing practice."

Another category is that some authors have tried to write in the forum. Apart from the poetry section, the most popular ones are the novel serialization section and the history review section.

Some of the content is quite popular.

Zhou Zhi was very pleased to see that several "old masters" that he liked in his previous life now appeared on the forum he founded. It was also a strange feeling.

The most attractive feature of the Clover Forum is the comment function. Since the JAVA version was launched first, it now has many more functions. You can add your own comments anywhere you want in the novel, and then a number will be added there like the annotations in classical books. You can continue to add comments and replies under the comments, and the number will continue to grow. There will often be hundreds of comments piled up in places where discussions are heated.

Of course, there will also be such comments displayed under the chapters. In fact, these are routines that have been overused by novel websites in later generations. However, they have just been launched, making the Clover Forum the talk of the town and overshadowing all other online forums in the country.

"Just looking at the first chapter, the writing is excellent."

"It's refined and comfortable. This should be a traditional literary master, right? And it's from the mainland, not like the Hong Kong and Taiwan style."

"West Shu has beautiful scenery. Was Meishan really like this at that time?"

"The writing is concise. Blame it on my difficulty in composition. I am totally confused."

"With such a good literary style, why did you write about the Song Dynasty? It's really a dynasty that makes people curse."

"The above comment is too extreme. In fact, there was still blood in the early stage. It was mainly because Zhao Er gave away a wave of heads, and there was also Xixia who was disgusting."

"Damn it! That was the era when cavalry rose to prominence. There was no horse farm in Tianshan, Hetao, or Southern Yunnan in the Song Dynasty. How could we have fun? Even if we became canned people, we would just have to wait to be fired."

"If I win, I lose money. If I lose, I lose money. Sometimes I wonder why I want to play. Isn't it always a loss in the end?"

“Reply: So I just stopped calling and gave the money directly.”

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh. As far as all the Han dynasties are concerned, the Song Dynasty is probably the most misunderstood, while the most highly praised ones are basically the Qin, Han, Tang and Ming dynasties.

But in fact, every dynasty has three stages: early, middle and late, and it has three stages: rising to dominate the world and then collapsing. However, the Song Dynasty is not wronged because it is the only one that lacks the second stage.

However, the reason is very complicated and cannot be explained clearly in a few simple words as netizens do. Otherwise, there would be no need to write this book myself.

So far, Zhou Zhi has not found the first point of controversy, that is, the appearance of the first "face-slapping post", because Zhou Zhi wrote in the article that "the Yangtze River was not called the Yangtze River in the Song Dynasty, but was called the river in history", and "after passing Kuizhou, it entered the Minjiang River section."

Several comments appeared below: "Disappointed. I thought the author was of high standard at first, but it turned out to have made several common sense mistakes."

"Yes, the book says that after passing the Three Gorges, you will reach Kuizhou. Kuizhou is now Yuzhou, right? But anyone who has studied high school geography knows that the mouth of the Minjiang River into the Yangtze River is in Yibin, which is a long way from Yuzhou."

"Yes, yes, yes, the Yangtze River is called the Jinsha River above Yibin. The Minjiang River and the Jinsha River merge into one there, and then it starts to be called the Yangtze River. The author has no common sense."

"Some people also say that the Yangtze River was not called the Yangtze River at that time. Then, is it a waste to recite the Tang poem 'The lone sail disappears into the blue sky, and only the Yangtze River is seen flowing across the horizon'?"

"Yes, there is also 'Holding the distant mountains and swallowing the Yangtze River' which must be memorized in high school. It was written by Fan Zhongyan. Conclusion: The author graduated from junior high school."

Zhou Zhi was happy, so he logged in with a small account and wrote under the comment: "The name Yangtze River is still mostly seen in poems and notes. In the maps and important official documents and history books of the Song Dynasty, the official name is still 'Jiang'. Jianghe, Huaihe and Ji are called 'Four Rivers'." Then he replied to the comment that slapped Minjiang in the face: "The saying that Minjiang River starts from Yizhou actually did not start until the Republic of China. Before that, the ancient Chinese always believed that Minjiang River, which flows through the prosperous area of ​​Shuzhong soon after it emerged from the mountains, was the source of the Yangtze River, and called Jinsha River 'Lushui'. Zhuge Liang said 'crossing Lu in May, deep into the barren land', which refers to crossing the Jinsha River; it is also called 'Lishui', and 'gold is born in Lishui, jade comes out of Kungang', which is also referring to it."

"Therefore, the ancients did not attach importance to the Jinsha River, but only used the 300-li gorge as the dividing line between the two regions of the Yangtze River. The area above the gorge was the Minjiang River, and the area below the gorge was the 'Jiang River'."

"In terms of ancient Chinese geographical divisions, the area above the gorge was Shu, the area within the gorge was Yong and Wu, and the area outside was Chu, which is also closely related to the division of the Yangtze River."

I just sent out a reply to this comment, and someone replied: "Here comes the counter-slapper!"

"What he said may not be true, but his citations from scriptures are a bit intimidating."

"Yes, even if the ancients did not regard the Jinsha River as the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, they did not say that the starting point of the Minjiang River was Yuzhou. We have to find the historical data to make it count!"

Zhou Zhi immediately posted a screenshot under the comment using a second account: "This is the 'Complete Map of Bashu' from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, which is now kept in the Shu University Library. You can take a look at the annotations about the Yangtze River under Kuizhou Prefecture. The lower part says 'Yangtze River' and the upper part says 'Minjiang River'."

"Hahaha, I just like the people above using historical data to slap me in the face. I've learned something new."

And there were even more comments following Bolijiang's words.

"Wait, is there glass already at this time?"

"Glass? Impossible? Can anyone explain it to me?"

"There is glass, but it came from Rome. It is rare and expensive. It was introduced to China through the Silk Road and is worth a fortune. I don't know if Sichuan has it."

"Even if glass comes to China, it should be called Liuli."

"The person above is pretending to know something. In the Tang and Song dynasties, transparent quartz, which was similar to crystal, was called glass, or polyglaze. It is not the same as colored glaze."

Zhou Zhi almost laughed himself to death, and directly uploaded two poems, "Song Dynasty, Lu You, "Dream Record", 'A thousand peaks in Lushan Mountain, a brocade valley, a river in Shu Road, a glassy river.', Su Shi, "Farewell to Yang Mengrong", 'My home is in the shadow of Mount Emei, and we are from the same state. We are sixty miles apart, and we drink from the glassy river together.'"

The comment section suddenly became lively again.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

“Hahahahaha…”

"Clap clap clap..."

“Reading book reviews can help you learn more!”

"Damn, that's awesome, you're awesome!"

"The author is awesome, and the comment section boss is awesome too!"

Zhou Zhi immediately began to advertise: "In fact, there is a search function in the search engine of Clover Browser. After the search results come out, click on the 'Academic' tab and all these contents are there. You can check it out before questioning it."

The first reply left Zhou Zhi speechless: "But I like to question first and then read the reply. Who has the patience to look up information!" (End of this chapter)
