About This Novel
"Fantasy of Flying Flowers" is a long vernacular novel about talented people and beauties from the Qing Dynasty. It was once included in the "Forbidden Books in Ancient China". The main purpose of the work is to promote loyalty, filial piety and justice. The plots described in the book show the social scene at that time, such as the pursuit of literati in the imperial examination system, the dark strife in the officialdom, and the various life styles of the people. However, the plot also contains some clichés, such as choosing a son-in-law through a poem test, going on a diplomatic mission to negotiate peace, marrying a maid on behalf of a maid, getting married according to an order, and returning home with beautiful ladies, etc. These are all common plots in similar novels about talented people and beauties.
