Can't novels write about real people in history?

Answer 1

Generally speaking, novels should avoid directly describing real people in history because it might violate the intellectual property rights and historical value of others. In addition, the evaluation and description of historical figures should also be based on their personal experience, personality, behavior and other aspects of imagination and understanding, rather than directly copying historical records.

Of course, in some cases, the novel might refer to or hint at real people or events in history in some way. In this case, the author of the novel had to be careful to ensure that it did not negatively affect the image of historical figures or historical events, nor did it violate the intellectual property rights of others.

The creation of a novel should respect history and intellectual property, and try to imagine and portray it appropriately.
