Novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties: Songyin Manglu 1
by Wang Tao
About This Novel
The genre and subject matter of "Songyin Manglu" are imitated by Pu Songling's "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", but the scope of the material is wider than that of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", including many stories about Japanese geishas such as "The Story of Japanese Girl A Chuan", "The Beauty of Willow Bridge", "Seventeen Famous Flowers in the North Bridge", "Japanese Talented Girl" and European beauties "Biography of Mei Li". "Songyin Manglu" is Wang Tao's "recollection of what he has seen and heard in the past thirty years, and the things that can be celebrated or shocked, and he talks about them eleven times, sometimes touching on past events, or reveling in old grudges... Alternating with tears." It is also known as "The Illustrated Notes on Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" and "The Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio after Illustrations", published in the Qing Dynasty. Wang Tao's collection of classical Chinese short stories was engraved in the early years of Guangxu (1875); each article was originally published in the supplement "Pictured" of Shanghai's "Shenbao", which lasted for more than three years.
