I find that some authors have very problematic attitudes towards history. Of course, if you write about foreign history, I don’t care what Constantinople looks like, just do whatever you want.
However, many ancient Chinese historical materials, especially ancient Chinese maps, cannot be found by professionals. This is also a shortcoming of the records at that time.
If you can't find it, just write it down casually. Don't give a superficial description and mislead readers into thinking that the real historical city was like this.
You can also compile a map and indicate in the easter egg chapter: This map was compiled by the author of the book.
Adding a watermark is not difficult, right?
But many authors are not like this.
I deliberately made up a map to match my plot, but I won’t say that I made it up, even if every stroke in it is real, and even the plane shape of the city is fake.
And I don’t say that it was borrowed from elsewhere. Anyway, I just didn’t say anything. The readers were misled into thinking that this was a historical map. That’s because they are stupid. I just bully you for not having the ability to discern, in order to create a "sense of reality" for me to write historical articles.
Next, I will post scanned versions of various ancient maps in the comment area of this chapter so that everyone can see what real historical maps look like. From now on, everyone will be able to tell at a glance which maps are historical maps and which maps were compiled by the author.
Pay attention to the comment section of this chapter.
