The Interaction between Refined and Popular: a Study on the Symbiotic Relationship between Song Dynasty Storytellers and Classical Chinese Novels
by Li Jianjun
About This Novel
This book believes that the dialect scripts of Song and Yuan Dynasties evolved from oral texts to written texts, from classical Chinese scripts to vernacular scripts, from simplified script scripts to traditional script scripts, to traditional script scripts, to mixed scripts, and finally to edited scripts. The entertainment and fictitiousness of the Song Dynasty story-telling novels (folk narratives) impacted the "replenishing history" and "benefiting education" of classical Chinese novels (literati narratives), and promoted the shift of the focus of narrative literature from historical narratives and documentary narratives to literary narratives and fictional narratives. The interactive symbiosis between classical Chinese novels and vernacular novels in the Song Dynasty contributed to the vulgarization of classical Chinese novels and the growth of vernacular novels, promoted a major transition in Chinese narrative literature from elegance to vulgarity, and from prose to whiteness, and laid the conceptual and stylistic foundation for the prosperity of modern narrative literature.
