Research on Vietnamese Classical Literature
by Liu Zhiqiang
About This Novel
This book starts from the perspective of comparative literature and explores the emergence, development, prosperity, climax and decline of Vietnamese classical literature in the 18th and 19th centuries. The works include macro narratives of Vietnamese classical literature, as well as microscopic descriptions of specific masterpieces such as "Hua Jian Zhuan", "Gong Yuan Yin", "Zheng Fu Yin", "Liao Yun Xian", etc. The focus of this book is a multi-faceted examination of the classic work "Jin Yunqiao Biography" written by the Vietnamese great scholar Nguyen Yau. Although the work is based on the original work of a talented young man in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Ruan Yau re-created it in the form of poetry and injected Chinese and Vietnamese language and cultural elements into it, making it a "classic" among Vietnamese classical literary works. For this reason, Nguyen Yau himself was listed as a "World Cultural Celebrity" by UNESCO. Due to historical and cultural reasons, Vietnamese classical literature has more or less connections with Chinese literature and culture. This book also discusses the special cultural relationship between China and Vietnam, from which readers can experience the cultural differences between the two cultures that are "similar in appearance but different in taste".
