Qing Dynasty Literary History Case
by Yan Dichang
About This Novel
Around 1998, Mr. Yan Dichang was invited to write "History of Literature in the Qing Dynasty", which was planned to be 100 articles, each of 5,000 words. By the time of his death in 2003, he had written a total of 26 articles, which was only a quarter of the original plan. The manuscript of the posthumous work is still there and has not been officially published. The disciples of the Yan Sect have compiled it, totaling about 300,000 words. The entire manuscript is divided into six parts: "The Heart of the Remaining People", "The Separation of the Government and the Opposition", "The Growth and Decline of Schools", "General Presidency of Fengya", "The Situation of the World", and "Eight Banners Humanities and Beauties and Talents", covering Qing Dynasty literature such as poems, lyrics, essays, dramas, novels and other genres as well as the intellectual history and social history of the Qing Dynasty. In terms of aspects, there are not only "new ones on familiar topics" such as Qian Qianyi, Nalan Xingde, Yao Nai, "The Palace of Eternal Life", "Dream of Red Mansions", etc., But also revisions of issues that few people pay attention to but have high research value, such as Hangzhou Xiaoshantang Zhao Family and Yangzhou Ma Family Xiaolinglong Mountain Pavilion. The vision is broad and the examination is incisive.
