Surprised at the First Moment
About This Novel
"The Surprise at the First Moment" is a collection of Chinese novels written by Ling Shuchu in the late Ming Dynasty. The book was written in the seventh year of Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty (1627), and was published by Shangyoutang Bookstore in the second year. Later, Ling Shuchu compiled "The Surprise of Shooting the Case at Two Moments" and published it in the fifth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1632). The two books are collectively called "Er Pai". The contents of the books are very complex, and their ideological tendencies are also different. They mainly include works that describe the thoughts, actions, fate of businessmen, and works that describe marriage and love. Although most of the story themes come from the writings of previous generations, after Ling's re-creation, they express the social reality and atmosphere of the times in the late Ming Dynasty, and are imbued with Ling's own ideas and cynical resentment.
