by Selected Notes By Zhang Yanjin
About This Novel
Wang Guowei once said that every generation has its own literature, such as the poetry of Chu, the poetry of Han, the parallelism of the Six Dynasties, the poetry of Tang, the lyrics of Song, and the music of Yuan. As a representative of the literature of the Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Opera includes two parts: Zaju and Sanqu. The subject matter of Sanqu in the Yuan Dynasty is diverse and broad, with a mixture of elegance and vulgarity, beauty and ugliness, and the works that focus on retreat from the world and secular tastes best reflect the characteristics of its content; the language is popular and simple, close to spoken language, and it is the most natural literature with natural qualities. This book selects 318 Sanqu from the Yuan Dynasty, including both suites and small songs, with diverse themes and styles. The annotations are clear, rigorous and accurate. By reading this compilation, one can get a glimpse of the whole Sanqu of the Yuan Dynasty and appreciate the style of "quweier".
