Features: In 2006, Jin Yong's martial arts PKed against fantasy martial arts, breaking down the clichés of "brutal harem YY literature." "Zheng Chenggong in the Desert" once again "spoke of Tang." The editor-in-chief of Jin Gu Qichuan·Wuxia wrote a preface, uncovering the tragic song of the "Shi Lang Grand Prize Army" in the 9th century, a Tang-version of Yang Guo with tender emotions and a heroic spirit. A new-style classic subverts the traditional martial arts world, depicting the last glory of the Tang Dynasty.
Ten miles of the long pavilion, frost fills the sky,
How many years will white hair and black hair last?
No regrets in this life, no mistakes in this life,
In the next life, with fate, we shall move on.
A rare sentiment in the annals of late Tang history,
A page of iron-blooded loyalty in the martial arts world,
A picture of the melancholic tunes of the Qiang flute on the northern frontier,
A heart-stirring ballad of the Western Liang's tragic song—
On the vast and free desert of the Tianya Community, Zhang Jian Tian Ya, Bai Yi has brought the masculine, tough, and desolate style of Inoue Yasushi's works into the martial arts world, just as a gale from the west swept through the elegant Jiangnan.
The New Martial Arts of the mainland is reshaping the map of the martial arts world, rewriting the Western regions that have been demonized, and the paradise of contemporary martial arts readers is right before our eyes. — Jin Gu Qichuan·Wuxia
In today's era of fantastical, strange, and unconventional fiction, Bai Yi remains undisturbed, persisting in writing classic martial arts without compromising his heroic spirit. He still portrays the brotherhood that makes readers' blood boil and the heroism of the martial artist. He can still write love stories that make readers weep and feel deeply sorrowful, as well as the immortal martial spirit of the shining humanity of the martial arts world, leaving everyone deeply impressed. — Tencent Books
During the Tang Dynasty, the stories of the "Zhenguan Era" and the "Kaiyuan Prosperity" have long been familiar and beloved by the Chinese people. However, the bleak late Tang has been deliberately or unintentionally avoided by novelists time and again. Picking Up Liangzhou on Horseback is a unique new-style martial arts classic that directly confronts the dim national situation of late Tang, with a profound historical flavor.
This book shows us a grand picture of swords and horses: In the late Tang era, to revitalize the Tang Dynasty's prestige and resist foreign invasions, those lone heroes who ventured forward were as fierce as tigers devouring miles of land. On their shoulders, the magnificent "assassination of Qin" story, like "The wind blows, the water is cold," is even more heartbreaking.
In addition to the splendid Nirvana Dance, the difficult choices made by two pairs of heroic lovers between love and friendship are even more moving. Their bond moves the heavens and the earth. Reading Picking Up Liangzhou on Horseback, experience the unyielding backbone and indomitable spirit of the Tang Dynasty's martial arts heroes.
Set against the backdrop of the "Ganlu Incident" and the Heshuo people's uprising that returned to the Tang Dynasty, this book creates characters like the young hero Li Jian and Cui Du, naturally blending martial arts with politics and war, creating a captivating and inspiring story.
