Four Letters of Recommendation

  "Yasha" was launched for a month and on the first day of the next month, it received a big promotion on the Qidian website's homepage, which is an honor that only the top monthly ticket can have. This is the honor given to Yasha by book friends.

  Xiao Dao has a special affection for traditional culture. Xiao Dao's "Upper-class Cold Scholars" was written during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and "Elegant and Rustic" was written during the late Ming Dynasty. These two periods, along with the Spring and Autumn period and the May Fourth Movement, are the four most prosperous stages of Chinese cultural history. Interestingly, cultural prosperity has always been accompanied by profound social crises. Why?

  The collapse of rituals and music, the abolition of shackles, human nature is allowed to flourish, artistic talents emerge one after another, but the subsequent cultural decline or even destruction is not a great tragedy. Why is this so? Is it a historical inevitability?

  With a passion for traditional culture and confusion, Xiao Dao returned from the Eastern Jin and plunged into the summer of Wanli 40, entrusting his dreams to young Zhang Yuan. This year, the Donglin giant Gu Xiancheng passed away; this year, Qian Yifu, who was itching to get into the imperial examination, became a high-ranking official; this year, it was still six years before Nurhaci and the Ming dynasty broke off relations and declared the Seven Great Hatreds; this year, it was still thirty-two years before Li Zicheng wore a fur hat and rode a black horse into Beijing; this year, twenty-five years had passed since the Wanli 15th year when Huang Renyu proved that the Ming dynasty was beyond salvation.

  Is it still in time?

  Today, "Yasha" has written more than 400,000 words. The curtain has been opened, and officials, scholars, eunuchs, and fallen people have all appeared on stage. The scenery of Shanyin, Kuaiji, Hangzhou, Qingpu, and the late Ming Jiangnan has emerged one after another. Have book friends ever immersed themselves in it with Xiaodao?

  The road is still long, don't rush, the scenery is on the way, towards the goal of saving the country, but also enjoy life, every day with a bitter and resentful look is not Xiaodao's style, I believe that book friends like and appreciate should also be Xiaodao's this point.

  Here is the translation:

  Taking this opportunity to express my gratitude, I'd like to thank all book friends for their support of "Elegant and Refined". Seeing those repeated rewards and monthly tickets, I recognize you, remember you, and there are many book friends who don't speak up but only subscribe. Your silent support touches me deeply. However, it would be even better if you could occasionally leave a comment in the review section - I need encouragement! Also, many book friends like to nurture books, so here I'm asking all of you for a full subscription; if you can set "Elegant and Refined" as an automatic subscription, that would be even better. This way, every time I update, I'll refresh the page and wow, there are so many subscriptions - it makes me happy!

  Thanks to the starting point for providing this platform, thanks to the four groups of editors Hu Shuo, Ya Su's editor Donggua MM, signed editor Yezi MM, without you there would be no today's Ya Su.

  A good man needs three helpers, Xiaodao is not a good man, just a writer who tries harder and is more serious. Please continue to support and help Xiaodao, on the first day of April, please give your guaranteed monthly votes to Yasha, don't let Yasha lose at the starting line. Yasha's goal for this month is to be in the top 15 of the monthly vote rankings, a higher ranking can make more readers see Yasha, thank you book friends.

  Finally, I recommend two completed novels by Xiao Dao - "Top Quality Cold Gentleman" and "Royal Entertainment Guide". The former is elegant, while the latter is unconventional. Please go and read them according to your preferences, you won't be disappointed.
