When a person's overall good side is more than bad side, it can be said that he is a good person on the whole. With the increasing number of people I know, a person I judge in a short time will be denied in the following time, that is to say, I am a little blind.
My initial judgment will eventually be broken by my long-term relationship. But this is not right. This is probably why everyone says that human nature is unpredictable, and everyone has different ideas at each stage.
If everyone is fixed, there is no interest in exploring. After all, life is very dull, and a vigorous life cannot last long. Time will give us wisdom, different thinking, interesting knowledge, interesting personality and so on.
The epidemic will come to an end in China in 2020. After all, summer has come and the temperature continues to rise. I pray that the world will usher in a new chapter, and I try to restore one desire to express myself after another.
I recently watched the medieval trilogy while killing time, and now it is the second one. The medieval trilogy spanned nearly 500 years from 1 135- 1620. As long as it is a story about generations between Wang Qiao and Xia Ling, I have to say that The First Spring and Autumn of the Temple is just a friend's introduction to kill time.
At first, I thought there was nothing to see. Of course, I don't know why Tom was so poor in the Middle Ages (1 135). Just like my grandfather told me that 1950 reading was all about gnawing at bark, I didn't feel anything, so when Tom's wife Agnes bled to death while giving birth to Jonathan, I was afraid of nothing but nothing. But The Spring and Autumn Annals of the Temple begins with hanging, and then Allen appears pregnant with Jack, followed by Tom and his three children, Alfred and Martha Jonathan.
This is the main line of the story. From Xialing Town to Wangqiao Town, Tom has always wanted to build a cathedral one day.
At first, Jack's biological father died because of a secret. The three beneficiaries of this secret are Valerian, Earl bartholomew and Earl Percy Hamley, and what happened to them and their children because Dean Philip wanted to build a cathedral, as well as Tom's emergency (the dilapidated church was burned by Jack to find a job for Tom) and Allen.
I must stress that I really like Alina and Allen. I like that they are not afraid of failure, live bravely and dare to give up everything for their own beliefs. Of course, Alina should be with Jack. Their education and ideas are the closest, which is equivalent to the current three views. This is the first time I have read this book. In my memory, Alina should be five years old.
Tom Daqiang Gao is very strong, serious and successful in architecture, but he is the opposite of Allen. However, Allen happened to like powerful people in Daqiang Gao. After all, Jack's biological father was hanged when he was pregnant with Jack. Tom believes in God as a devout man, but Allen doesn't. Allen doesn't believe in God. Allen lived well in the forest by his own wisdom, while Tom believed in God without a job and went hungry everywhere.
I think it's ironic, but if you think about it from another angle, you will find that it will make people believe, just like some people in China believe in Buddhism, and of course I am an atheist.
Besides, Allen received a good education. I once guessed that Allen was born in a famous family. For example, Alina was born in a noble family, received a good education, loved reading, and was as good at learning as Allen. This book only deals with her life experience in Allen. I think I need to read it again to clarify the unclear details. Of course, this is beside the point.
Jack educated in Allen is undoubtedly excellent, and Tom's three children, except Jonathan, were all brought up by Philip in Wang Qiao, and received a good education. Finally, Philip got old and became an assistant bishop, which means he took over. Alfred is both violent and stupid. Later, Alina was depressed and forced by her brother to separate Jack and Alina. He ended up childless and was stabbed to death by Richard.
Martha has always had a crush on Jack, and she can't remember the details behind.
I have to say, the sons of William, Count Percy Hamley and Reagan have no brains, a murderous mind, cruelty, selfishness and illiteracy. William accepted the engagement by hook or by crook when he was in his early twenties, and Alena, the daughter of Count Bartholomew, refused to marry William because she despises him, being selfish, clumsy and stupid.
This makes William lose face, but at the same time he is infatuated with Alina's beauty, yes. Alina is well-cultivated, intelligent and beautiful, and her family is superior, so she has suffered a lot. In order to get Alaine's heart, William participated in a conspiracy, and Count Samuel of Bacelo was planning a reverse conspiracy, and Philip's brother Francis knew about it. Tell Philip. And reached an agreement with Warren to help him become the vice bishop and dean of Kingsbridge.
Warren informed Count Percy Hamley and Lady Reagan that Count Bassero was finally knocked down by Count Percy and died in prison, leaving only Alina and Richard to escape and finally make a living at Kingsbridge. Alina's biological mother died when she was very young.
Alina was in Xialing Town with her brother Richard when her father went to prison. She still doesn't know what happened. When none of these things happened, Alina already knew Jack. It was Jack 13 years old, and then she met him many years later.
When Alina's father was poor in prison, William raped Alina and cut off Richard's earlobe. This incident had a great influence on Alina before she was with Jack, so that at the age of 25, she didn't even think about getting married and refused many people.
William killed many people during Tom's construction of Kingsbridge Cathedral. He tried every means to stop it, and Tom finally died under William's horseshoe. The cathedral in Kingsbridge was built by Jack and Philip.
I have to say that Jack's talent in architecture is no less than Tom's, and even far exceeds him in the later period.
Alina has a business mind and has become the largest wool merchant. However, under the destruction of William, she once went bankrupt, but she made a strong start again. Alina swore before her father died that she would help Richard's brother return to Shiring to become an earl. This is the motivation for Alina to make money step by step. It can be understood that it is for the survival of her brother, not for herself.
In fact, Richard is an excellent knight. In the later period, when William occupied the position of Earl of Shiring, he once attacked Wang Qiao, and he became an important role in defending Wang Qiao. Later, after Richard regained the count's position, Alina was put in charge of Xialing Town, and he died with the battle of the king.
The Earl of Shiring was succeeded by Alaine and Jack's son Tommy. Tommy has his grandfather's genes. He is good at management and runs Xialing Town.
There are many details about this, such as how Allen survived in the forest and how Alina became the largest wool merchant in Wang Qiao step by step.
Temple Spring and Autumn is the first film. I watched 13 hours, and I watched1135-1174 in total.
He wrote about everyone's fate and a sculpture of tears in Paris. Jack left Wang Qiao when Alina refused to get married, traveled a lot, and finally found his hometown and family. The origin of his father, and later Alina found him with her newborn child and returned to Kingsbridge to build the cathedral. I am writing quietly now, but there is a wave of admiration in my heart.
I think it is necessary to watch the medieval trilogy several times. From here, I can see a track, that is, in a generation's time, we will find that when a person has a trough, there will be an climax, and what he had at the beginning will be taken away in the end. What does it inspire me? In other words, everyone will not always be on the highland. We should do things calmly and realistically with a pious mind, and don't take what we have for granted.
Where your energy is spent, it will be reflected. We are equal to this universe, but our life is our own master.
This reminds me a lot. A friend who studies Zhouyi said: A person's life is a picture. At the peak, the next step is the beginning of the decline. It's really interesting to look back at the medieval trilogy.
The medieval trilogy was about builders, especially mystery novels, but Follette was good at writing thrillers. With the experience of middle age, he began to spend ten years preparing, understanding the background and knowledge of architecture at that time, and wrote it out.
Because I was attracted by the plot at first, I deliberately went to understand the evaluation of this book, but there are many controversies. My humble opinion is that there should be no dispute about this. It takes a lot of time for each character's personality and the structure of the building itself, as well as the grievances of several generations. All character structures need careful logical thinking, which cannot be denied by a light sentence. If you want to talk about writing, do you have a choice? After all, it is suspense.
A main line drives the development of aristocratic power, knights, monks, bishops and civilians in the Middle Ages. Of course, there is a feeling of focusing on women, and women's awakening thinking.
Personally, I think Follette consulted a lot of historical records and kept up with the background of the Middle Ages. I really think he is very talented. In today's society, many people say that they love reading, and many people claim to be authors. But at the same time, they have to say that the medieval trilogy is average. I think the people who can evaluate it must be more than Follette himself, not just talking and trampling on other people's achievements at will.
I think highly of it, and of course I won't say that my friends around me will go to see it. People who like reading books will occasionally read this book by word of mouth, and it is useless to say more.
I wanted to write an essay along with it, but I accidentally sat here for two hours and wrote for so long. Yeah, that's right. I especially want to say that Philip really likes you. If you ask me why, I can say that he is not a lecherous, but he devoted his life to the church, never married and raised Jonathan. He surprised me and made me admire him. He is brave, self-disciplined and compassionate at the same time.
When Philip and his younger brother Francis were young, they witnessed their parents being killed by knights and their bellies being separated. Later, he was rescued by a priest, grew up in a college of education, and then grew into a generation of bishops. Francis has always been a close friend of powerful nobles.
Well, aside from the topic, I also like Jack and Alina very much. In the book, their looks are all right, and at the same time, they are in harmony with each other. They love each other for life with gratitude and love each other at every age.
Follette's calm, clear and rational thinking impressed me deeply and reminded me of the Napoli Tetralogy. I don't think so about the Napoli Tetralogy, but Naples wrote about the friendship between two Italian girls and the growth track of women, which once got me into it. Later, after watching the third film, I stopped to adjust my thinking.
In my spare time, I am watching the second film Endless World, which is after Spring and Autumn Annals of the Temple. Jack Ah Lena's children became grandparents, Martha's children. The film still laid a line, and then Mersing and Cai Qiufeng built a stone bridge in Wang Qiao to save Wang Qiao's economy and attract more people to do business in Wang Qiao.
Godwin is the new dean and vice bishop of this generation. It has to be said that the bishop of Kingsbridge has never sat on Kingsbridge, so the vice bishop is in power, a veritable peak of church power.
When I started watching the second film in a daze, I didn't really know who their ancestors were and what was the secret of knight Thomas. But what I know is that Mersin is a descendant of Jack and godwin is a descendant of Tom. Chris is godwin's cousin. Chris's father is a wool merchant and his family is well-off.
Mersin's younger brother Woolf always wanted to be a knight. He is lewd, brainless and selfish. I used to think he looked like the first William.
William's descendants appeared in this film. I don't know a lot of lines yet, but the foreshadowing of the first part makes me wonder how to develop in the next few hundred years. And Chris' restless and independent thoughts. It once reminded me of Jane Eyre. Think of Scarlett in Gone with the Wind. As a woman, although Chris is ugly, her wisdom and leadership have already appeared, even though she is only 18 years old, which really appeals to me. I wonder if she will be the next Alina and Allen. I am very curious.
Because of this, I will keep reading, or even read it several times, in order to understand it more deeply. When reading this book, especially about the economy, I want to read The Wealth of Nations several times to increase my understanding of the economy. After all, I am interested.
