A Collection of Three Words and Two Beats

About This Novel
The late Ming Dynasty was an era of bright colors. Transcendence of etiquette and publicity of individuality were the most distinctive characteristics of that era. This world style inevitably affected literary creation, so the collection of short stories in vernacular "Sanyan Erpai" that described the colorful urban life and human emotions was born. "Three words" refers to "Essays to enlighten the world", "Words to warn the world", and "Essential words to awaken the world"; "Erpai" refers to "Surprise at the first moment" and "Surprise at the second moment". "San Yan" and "Er Pai" were compiled at similar times and have similar contents and forms, so later generations often refer to them as "San Yan Er Pai".
