Qing Ping Shan Tang Hua Ben (popular Library of Chinese Classical Novels)
by Hong Chu
About This Novel
"Qing Ping Shan Tang Hua Ben" is a collection of Hua Ben that records the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, and is the earliest extant collection of Hua Ben. It was originally called "Sixty Family Novels". In the 1920s and 1930s, Mr. Ma Lian and Mr. A Ying successively discovered the annihilated version of this book, and obtained 29 chapters, which were named "Qingping Shantang Huaben". "Qingpingshan Hall" is the name of the hall of Hong Zhen, a native of Qiantang during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. "Qing Ping Shan Tang Hua Ben" truly preserves the original appearance of the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasty Hua Ben. The works included are all folk creations, with relatively simple and superficial ideas, not very high taste, and short and vulgar writing. However, it is the most real. It looks at these colorful mortal things from the eyes of ordinary people, presenting an artistic realm of folk culture that is completely different from the refined culture such as poetry and prose.
