I have always believed that all descriptions of war scenes and keywords in literary works are all imaginings of war, not the real appearance of war.
If modern war can be partially restored due to film and television materials and written materials, then the description of ancient war is basically splicing and imagination.
What impressed me most is that when you look at the historical video materials of World War II, which were taken by foreigners at that time, you will find that during the Zhifeng War, the pictures of both sides were messy, like a large-scale armed battle scene, and perhaps troops were being mobilized on the spot. There is a certain smooth logic shown in the deployment, but this is how it feels to me under the camera.
This was still war in the age of firearms.
What about military warfare in the cold weapon era?
Some authors may have watched several film and television dramas, such as The Great Qin Empire. They use some techniques to present seemingly spectacular scenes, sell war aesthetics, and then enrich the characters and create heroic spirit through relatively hot lines. This has become the so-called in the eyes of some readers. Good war drama.
Some authors have verified some archaeological data and map texts to give people a more realistic style of painting.
Remember, it’s about looks.
But you must understand that everything is made up.
The problem is that some readers actually regard the imagination of war in other works as a real war?
I have not participated in several wars in the late Ming Dynasty or served in the Ming army. Have you participated? Or was it a war fought by an author you admire? Did he command an ancient war involving a thousand men?
Therefore, textual research and archaeological data are only restored through imagination, and future generations will never be able to get a glimpse of the real war scenes. All literary works are all compiled...
Some people have preconceived ideas and regard the content compiled by others as the only template formula for war, and firmly believe that this is a real war scene.
Anyway, I have never fought in ancient battles, and I have never fought in large group fights since I was a child. The words I wrote are all my imagination.
Two words summary, compiled.
I don’t think I made it up, I just saw it.
And each work has its own tone. For some books, his selling point is to imagine and restore spectacular and grand war scenes. He relies on this to attract readers. How can he do it without making great efforts?
To this end, he has done a lot of homework, collected a lot of information, and watched a lot of large-scale film and television works. But sorry, in addition to archaeological information, some of these information are actually made up, passed down from rumor to rumor.
Just talking about the historical area, can the theory of the collapse of the three achievements be applied to all war scenarios? Is there any statistical data to support this?
I don’t know who was the first to write this, and it has become a golden rule in the eyes of some readers and authors.
Have you overlooked the specific factors in a certain battle or even a certain scene in the war? For example, the personal charm of generals, the treatment system and honor construction of soldiers? The Qin army and the army of the Six Nations were both 30% collapsed?
Could it be that soldiers who fight are programmed to collapse when they suffer three casualties?
There is also a comment that before the war, war horses were fed beans and eggs. Where did you read Jia Zhiyan?
So what should we do if we don’t have beans or eggs? No more fighting?
Therefore, the reality is complex and ever-changing.
Because the selling point of this book is not to fill in the details of the war in every detail, I didn’t do much homework, which I admit.
This is my comprehensive grasp of the tone and selling points of the work. Just enough is enough, and the rest is left to the reader’s imagination, because I think that in the current limited time, the excessive investment and output in this area are disproportionate.
This is not the main selling point of the book.
Moreover, in the final analysis, it is still made up, it just looks more like it when it is made up.
However, I also have pursuits, and I am also trying my best to find information, and try my best to compile it more closely within the limited time.
But I don’t think that the war descriptions by other authors in the Qidian History Zone are true representations of war.
It's all the author's imagination, but he just happened to use his knowledge of doing a little more homework than you, plus some literary techniques and visual creation to scare you.
I know this, and I hope you know it too.
Just like, who are we talking about... I thought what he said made sense, until he got into my professional field.
Professional knowledge must be hard-core and boring, because the information density is high and the level of professionalism is high, which makes it difficult to read. You will not want to see too much in it.
In fact, unless he is Qi Jiguang who has traveled through time, but even if it is Qi Jiguang, if you ask him to imagine the wars in the Middle Ages, or even the chariot era of the pre-Qin Dynasty, for him, he will not understand many details of the "ancient" wars.
Or because I didn’t regard this as the differentiated selling point of the book, so I didn’t do any special homework, but chose to focus on other aspects.
Anyone who has read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms knows that there is no description of war in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but more of a description and portrayal of the choices made by the characters in the war.
Each book has its main selling point. When serializing, due to the high pressure of updating, energy is limited and it is impossible to cover everything.
Also, we are fortunate to live in a peaceful age and still have romantic fantasies about war.
But the real scenes must be boring, boring and cruel.
The blood may not be the bright red seen in movies and TV shows, but black and red, sticky and dirty.
The picture is dirty, messy, messy...
And the notes of later generations are not very pictorial, they are just the imagination of the literati at that time.
Books such as the Military Bei Zhi describe weapons and equipment.
That's generally it, that's the situation.
All I can say is that I try my best to describe, present, collect, and integrate.
If I were to write a book with the main selling point of selling the aesthetics of war, it goes without saying that I would have done my homework to the extreme beforehand, and it would leave you stunned.
Maybe they would even post a book list and name the dishes.
Am I great? You have done so much homework, hurry up, hurry up, praise me.
But sometimes the sad thing is that it is precisely because of overexertion in this aspect that other aspects such as story rhythm, character portrayal, etc. are not paid enough attention to, and the writing is not exciting enough... but it ends up being blocked.
At this time, no one is interested in your war drama, and no one cares whether your war drama truly restores the geographical features and military warfare of the late Ming, Han and Tang Dynasties.
Interesting or not?
Because the story is poorly written and not satisfying enough, there are still a few old white readers who like free prostitution to tell you in the comment area, well, the author wrote it really well, with great care, and the scenes are real...haha.
Finally, please ask for a monthly ticket at the end of the month.
