Is there a gap between the history reflected in The Longest Day in Chang 'an and the real history?

If Ma Boyong's successful construction of virtual Chang 'an Day has changed the established history of Tianbao Lantern Festival for three years, thus conforming to the narrative mode of overhead narrative, then the author's deconstruction of traditional values with imperial power politics as the core and the expression of historical nothingness in the text narrative process show distinct speculative attributes. So is there a gap between the history reflected in The Longest Day in Chang 'an and the real history?

First, the true history of the longest day in Chang 'an

The narrative mode adopted by traditional historical novels such as historical romance is the identity narrative mode under the ideological convention, which regards "* * * enjoys a system of value, truth and * * * synonyms" as the deep reference attached to novels after history. "It is an important feature of historical speculative narrative to re-examine historical narrative with modern consciousness and knowledge", which realizes the modern examination and reflection on traditional morality, values and historical view by exposing the power identity and value identity hidden behind historical narrative. In addition, the view of history reflected in The Longest Day in Chang 'an is not a general view of historical progress, but shows a certain degree of circularity and nothingness, thus further dissolving the essence of history. From the diachronic development of historical novels, there are mainly four historical views: degeneration, evolution, circulation and nothingness, which are different from the view that overhead historical novels regard historical development as linear progress with the help of scientific and technological determinism. The new historical novels present a general sense of nothingness because of the differences in their generating contexts and the questioning of historical authenticity and the ideology behind them.

Second, the history reflected in The Longest Day in Chang 'an

This nihility is manifested in the novel as a meaningless presentation of "redemption" itself. In Li Bi's view, the ultimate goal of this 24-hour life-and-death duel is to maintain the rule of Prince Hengli, but in fact, the "rescue" he and Zhang Xiaojing jointly carried out pushed the Prince into the abyss of suspicion of his father, which was harmful to him. From Zhang Xiaojing's point of view, Zhang Xiaojing always refused to be a political pawn, but once again fell into a power struggle, desperately defending the justice of the people and his heart. As a result, just like guarding the capital of the western regions more than ten years ago, the grief and indignation of the ephemera could not be exchanged for the slightest emotion of the ruler, and he was still played by power. Such a weak historical cycle not only shows the futility of people's actions, but also challenges the authenticity of history itself: the so-called official history and the so-called prosperity and peace are just the illusion deliberately created by the rulers, and to some extent, folk unofficial history may be closer to the truth of history. The narrative tension of the text is enhanced between the abolition and the establishment.
