Chapter 24 second quarter

Nagafu read "Muromachi Night Talk" on the return plane and jumped up for joy.The content is very, very interesting.Simply put, it is the story of the wives and concubines of the two shoguns vying for favor.There are more than a dozen women, in which humbleness, vanity, jealousy, conspiracy, decline and defeat are repeated.The era happened to be the maturing period of the splendid Ashikaga shogunate.In addition to these heroines, there are also their closeness, plus the powerful ministers who manipulate them behind the scenes. The power of the samurai at the time of the shrine and the romantic style of the prince, and there are all kinds of poems, songs, and chronicles. As long as it is handled properly, it may become a magnificent and powerful work.

Of course, there is nothing exciting in the original text.First, it uses classical Chinese style, and the description is also old-fashioned.The article is sincere, but it is still written down, it is already a wonderful story, and there is no need to spend much time on the structure.It is enough to add some descriptions appropriately in the narrative.This is really a godsend, fortunately, he did not refuse Fuchu's speech.Going for a walk, maybe there will be good ideas after the atmosphere changes, this premonition has been fully realized. However, Tonji Chofu still had two worries. One is that such a wonderful book, someone may have already written it.Since he is not very keen on reading, this is a concern.If someone had actually written it, then he would inevitably be blamed for making nothing.

The other is "Akio Hayashida, a scholar of letters." Could he be a famous scholar?Is it just me who doesn't know it?Of course, this book was released in the 25th year of Meiji (1892), and the author must have passed away. If he is a famous scholar, then this "Muromachi Night Talk" must have been read by many people.If you use such a book to write a novel, you will immediately give up.This is not acceptable.He's been quiet for so long, and he might be accused of a lack of creativity. These two doubts and fears became unfounded worries after returning to Tokyo. He went to one of the oldest and old-fashioned second-hand bookstores in Kanda, and deliberately asked if there was such a book by such an author.The old shop owner shook his head and said he didn't know at all.Even many scholars and experts had to respect the boss's knowledge of used books, so Dunzhi was a little relieved, but just to be cautious, he also visited several second-hand bookstores, and the results were the same.

Still not relaxing, he went to the National Library to inquire, and learned that this library also had no collections.In this way, it can be said that no one in Japan knows this book anymore. The vice president of R magazine called and asked him about the progress of the manuscript.Dunji energetically assured that the first draft would be delivered before the deadline.What kind of content?He told the other party a rough plot.The other party seemed not satisfied with the background of the Muromachi period, but he still replied forcefully: "Things with the background of the Muromachi period can also be popular, I am 100% sure."

The serial novels of Chofu Tonji appeared in the R magazine, and from about the fourth issue, there was a response from readers.Some readers sent letters to their homes, and the editorial department received more and more submissions.This time, the deputy editor brought whiskey to encourage him. "Sir, you are really young. I really didn't expect to give them a brilliant masterpiece. We are all very happy. The reputation is also very good." Tonji Chofu smiled and listened to the other party.He didn't think the vice president was flattering.While writing, he himself felt that it would definitely be a hit.

There is no need to arrange any plot at all, as long as the "Muromachi Night Talk" is rewritten into a modern text.Of course, psychological description needs to be added. In this regard, he used the previous skills.Since the structure of the original book is very solid, it seems that it can be written according to the blueprint.He took the title "Pictures of Ronghua Women", and after ten issues were published, the editor-in-chief personally came out to ask him to continue writing for another year.At first it was the deputy editor-in-chief who was sent to invite manuscripts, but this time not only the chief editor came by himself, but also accompanied by a director.

About eight months after the serialization began, the novel has completely won the unanimous praise of the reading circle.Recently, there are no novels in weekly magazines that are particularly popular.At this moment, "The Picture of Prosperous Women" depicts a gorgeous background and women who are burning like flames frantically for power and love.There are those who expose the nature of women, some who are only hypocritical and scheming day and night, and there are also poor people who have fallen out of favor and realized the impermanence of the world and escaped into Buddhism.In order to suppress the local officials, General Yoshimitsu often traveled far to pay homage to various local shrines and Buddhist pavilions. The extravagant appearance is like a colorful picture scroll.Such elegant, magnificent and climax-filled period novels are really rare.

First of all, the names of the women in the text have never appeared in any historian's writing.The more Dunzhi read it carefully, the more he was amazed by the erudition of "Akio Hayashida, a scholar of letters".That's amazing, he thought.Although there is no reference to each one, it is impossible to write such a thing without studying ancient books and documents.Such a Bachelor of Arts in Lintian is not well-known.I think it was a dedicated scholar in the Meiji period who buried Cao Lai silently.If he hadn't used this book as the basis of the novel, he would really like to check this BA and highlight him.

In the reader column of R magazine, every issue publishes a book, and the words of praise are exactly the same: a masterpiece comparable to the Tale of Genji; the investigation is extremely detailed and thorough; the author's efforts and accomplishments are admirable... and so on. This situation is not limited to readers, and comments on such novels have also begun to appear in the cultural columns of various newspapers.They were all in amazement at Tonji Chofu's masterpiece, especially the investigation of historical facts and customs in the text.On the one hand, it is also because the author has been silent for a long time, so he especially gives it a very high evaluation.

Chofu Dunji has completed a beautiful comeback, and with this article, he has completely restored his reputation at the peak of previous years.In fact, some critics pointed this out, and some even mentioned the literary prize. Because of the publication of this series in R magazine, the paper in Luoyang was expensive at that time, and the circulation grew rapidly. The president came here to express his gratitude. When Chofu Tonji was intoxicated with happiness, one day he saw a letter in the mail he received.For a long time, there have been many letters from readers, and the reason why this letter particularly attracted his attention was because of the ancient handwriting and the name of the sender was Hayashida Shohei from Fuchu City, Hiroshima Prefecture.It was because of the surnames of Fuchu City and Lintian that he opened this letter first.

"The masterpiece 'Picture of Ronghua Women' seems to be very sensational. I heard the news and couldn't help borrowing it to read it from the beginning. I was surprised by it. The writing of the masterpiece is a plagiarism of my grandfather's 'Muromachi Night Talk', only changing the classical Chinese into a modern one. That's all. My grandfather died in Tokyo at the age of fifty. He was a man of great learning. "I read forty chapters of the serialized masterpieces against my grandfather's original book. I think I know everything at the end of writing. I don't need to list all the plagiarism. What I want to tell is that my grandfather wrote "Muromachi Night Talk" 'At the time, I worked hard to consult a lot of ancient books. Not only the history books, but also went to the shrines and Buddhist pavilions visited by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and Yoshimitsu, and also visited many fields in the past, and read all the ancient documents. Only the grandfather left The data catalog is extremely large in number. "Only the common materials include: 'Bannangchao', 'Three Generations of Huajue', 'Wuzheng Norms', 'Talking about Governance', 'Manji Zhunhou Diary', 'Hanlin Hulu Collection', 'Lan Fuji Records'' Shilong Gong's Diary''Bishan Daily Record''Muromachi Hall Journey Records''Yu Tang Temple Diary''Woyun Daily Records''Eating Tea Exchange''Yin Liang Xuan Diary''Three Kingdoms''Zongchang Diary'' 'Dajingu Shrine'... Stop here, because there are too many to list. These are only famous ones. Now there are convenient books such as 'Historical Book Collection', 'Da Japanese Historical Materials', 'Japanese Essays Dacheng', etc., you can find These documents, therefore, in the 1920s of the Meiji period, my grandfather searched and dabbled hard. The kind of hard work and hard work may not be understood by Taiduan. "In addition, Liange, scripts, ballads, etc. in literature, plus Itsukushima Shrine documents, Kumano Shrine documents, Ouchi documents, Hosokawa documents, Mahayana Temple documents, Geshima documents, Ninnaji documents, etc., I don’t even know Fanji. The above are just general records, and there are also ancient documents that are not known to the world. My grandfather relied on these to write down the power and glory of General Muromachi, as well as the lives of the women who lived behind them. Mr. Of course, my grandfather was not a literati, so there are only narrations, but the historical facts are accurate. May I ask the current scholars, are there any people with this kind of knowledge? The origin of the word explains, that is, the fact of theft. "Perhaps Taiduan will say that it is a work published in the 25th year of Meiji, so it has long been invalid. However, the copyright is not a problem, the problem lies in morality. Taiduan owes the gift of his grandfather's works, and it has become a public praise The object of admiration. Ignorant critics certainly don’t know the original works of their grandfathers. They thought they were all investigated by Taiduan himself, and they were amazed by them. I always thought that critics were ignorant people, just lying Looking at other people's works, someone invites them, and immediately puts their personal feelings into words; this time, after reading the critical literature on the stage, I know that this generation of people is not desirable, and it is beyond imagination."
