About the name of the dancing horse (very important, it is recommended to read it before reading)
Many book friends have questioned the name of the protagonist, Dancing Horse.
There are two main views.
First, there was no surname Wu in the Tang Dynasty, and the author's information was not checked, so he must not have been serious about writing the book.
Secondly, this name is terrible, or too fancy, and very discouraging. The author was out of his mind when he came up with this name, so it would be better to call him Zhang San or something like that (I will never admit that the name is terrible, but the author is out of his mind, so I might consider it).
Below is my response.
【About the first point】
First of all, Wu Ma is a time traveler. Second, there was already a Wu surname in the Tang Dynasty.
The following information comes from the Internet - although the surname Wu is a rare surname, it is an ancient surname. There are three sources:
1.
It comes from the surname Ji, who is a descendant of the court dancers of the Zhou Dynasty. It is a surname based on the position. According to "Zhou Li·Di Guan": "The official name has a dancer." In other words, this surname comes from the dancers in the court.
Teachers are professional technical talents who specialize in teaching dance to palace people.
2.
It comes from Wushui (today's Sanli River), and is a surname based on the place of residence. According to "Geographical Records of the Former Han Dynasty": "Wuyin, the name of the county. It also has a surname."
3．
Modified by Wu Xiao. See also "surname Yuan".

The dance surname derived from Wu Shui, its birthplace is Pingdingshan Dance, Wuyang County, Luohe City, Henan Province today
Steel City area.
[About the second point of view].
The name Dancing Horse was not given randomly.
Even the author's inspiration for writing this book came from the word dancing horse.
After a little research, you can find that the idea of horse dancing comes from the prosperous Tang Dynasty. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, music and dance were flourishing, and horse dancing was one of the programs.
Dancing downstairs in Qinzheng.
There are many articles on the Internet that specifically introduce horse dancing, so I won’t go into details.
The reason why the protagonist is named Dancing Horse is related to the theme and outline of the entire novel, and is not random.
As mentioned before, the inspiration for this book came from Dancing Horse, so I especially wanted to use Dancing Horse as the name of the protagonist.
I have always felt that to be a writer and to create, you must have your own persistence.
You can accept other people's opinions, you can revise and improve the novel repeatedly, and you can constantly overturn it and start over, but the core and soul must stick to it to the end.
Dancing horses is one of my persistences in writing this book.
So, no matter what, I will stick to it with Dancing Horse to the end.
Of course, I also respect readers' preferences.
If you don't like the name Dancing Horse, that's completely normal.
It is impossible for everyone to like a name. However, the probability of not being liked by the name Dancing Horse is higher.
The same novel cannot be liked by everyone or satisfy everyone.
You insist on what you don't like.
I stick to my persistence.
We are destined to meet again.
[Finally, some people questioned the author’s writing attitude because of the name Dancing Horse]
I just want to say that I devoted all my energy to this book except sleeping and working. I gave up rest, all entertainment, reunion with my family, and social interaction. I got up early every day and stayed late every day. It felt like a luxury to waste even a minute.
In order to write something that satisfies me.
That's why I revised it repeatedly and constantly. The previous part was overhauled at least three times, not to mention the details.
Maybe my talent is poor, but my writing attitude will never give up.
I am very serious about this book.
The above is my response.
I am who I am, a dancing horse that is stubborn to the end.
