About This Novel

This book is a legend (drama) created by Li Yu in the Qing Dynasty and published in the 17th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty. It is written about the struggle of the Donglin Party against the brutal rule of Wei Zhongxian and other eunuchs in the late Ming Dynasty, and concentratedly exposes the crimes of the Wei Party's spy politics at that time. "Qing Zhongpu" is Li Yu's masterpiece in his later years and is listed as one of China's top ten classical tragedies. At that time, Wei Party agents used various vicious criminal laws to harm the people in order to maintain their reactionary rule. The author did not write about Wei Zhongxian directly, but wrote about the arrogant politicians under his command, highlighting Wei Zhongxian's cruelty and evil. "Qingzhongpu" depicts the raging civil struggle on the opera stage for the first time, truly reproducing the vigorous mass struggle scene, making the common people a symbol of justice, affirming their historical status, and making them important figures in the drama. This is unprecedented in the history of Chinese opera. "Qingzhongpu" has a unique status. It is the first historical drama in the history of Chinese opera that "accordes to the facts" and played an important role on the stage of the Qing Dynasty. This had an influence on later dramas such as "The Peach Blossom Fan". After the work came out, it was adapted into the Peking Opera "Five People's Righteousness", which also had a great influence among the masses. A classic not to be missed by readers interested in opera. There are many characters in the play, the struggle scenes are magnificent, and the scenes change frequently. However, the script does not make people feel messy, but the plot unfolds in an orderly manner and the structure is relatively rigorous. Whether it is a hobby or a hobby, this book has great reading value.
