Five-story Pagoda
About This Novel
This book contains two representative novels "The Five-Storied Pagoda" and "Merry Buddha" by the famous Japanese writer Koda Rohan. When "The Five-Storied Pagoda" was written, the craftsmen were obsessed with technology and devoted themselves to building the tower, overcoming many difficulties, and finally built a perfect five-story tower that could withstand the test of storms. "Feng Liu Buddha" tells the story of a young monk, Zhu Yun, who was determined to carve the most exquisite Buddha statue, so he visited famous mountains and rivers. On the way of exploration and confusion, he accidentally rescued a girl and fell in love with her. However, the girl's biological father betrothed her to someone else. The young monk had nowhere to turn to, so he carved the girl's image into a lifelike Buddha statue. The two novels are in line with today's admiration and exploration of "craftsman spirit". At the same time, their style is similar to ancient Chinese chapter novels. It can be seen that Koda Rohan has profound Chinese culture and is deeply influenced by Chinese classical culture.
