Summary "飛龍全傳" by Xuan Wu is a historical novel written in the 18th century. The book revolves around the character of Zhao Kuangyin, who is destined to become a significant leader and ruler. It explores themes of destiny, heroism, and the tumultuous nature of politics during a time of great upheaval. The opening of the novel introduces the historical context following the fall of the Later Han dynasty and sets the stage for the emergence of Zhao Kuangyin. We witness a prophesied encounter between Zhao and a fortune teller named Miao Xun, who recognizes Zhao's imperial potential and foreshadows his destiny. Zhao's initial disbelief and subsequent confrontations, both with Miao and later, with a local bully named Han Tong, establish his strong character and heroic nature. The section captures the vibrant atmosphere of the time, illustrating Zhao's relationships with his friends and his growing sense of purpose, ultimately leading him toward a path of greatness amidst chaos.
