About This Novel

This book deeply explores the evolution of the writing methods of vernacular novels in the Ming and Qing dynasties and the contributions of literati to the vernacular novels of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Vernacular novels originated from the art of speaking and have evolved over hundreds of years. The role of literati in it is undoubted. The three compilation methods of Zhanghui novels are generational collective creation, literati supplementation and literati original creation. Their creative characteristics and the contributions of literati writers are very different. In the early chapter novels, literati writers used the materials of their predecessors and imitated the art of speaking to create the genre of chapter novels. The supplementary chapters of chapter novels drew on the characters and plots of the original books and imitated the style of the original books. The overall achievements were not high. There are also some writers who borrowed other people's wine glasses to pour themselves. Along the way, some good works have been written; the chapter novels created by literati have brought new changes to this genre. The characters and plots are derived from real life, and the ideas are the independent thinking of the novelist. They represent the development direction of novel creation and push chapter novels to their peak. This result provides a new interpretation and analysis of the works of some novel writers, such as the type of adventure novels that existed in the chapter novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. "Jin Ping Mei Ci Hua" is a supplement to the chapter novels. Baoyu's rebellious character is directly related to his adolescence. This has not been published before and is quite influential in the academic world.
