The Legendary Life in Qingci

About This Novel
This book selects and analyzes the masterpieces of many poets from the Shunzhi period to the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. Some chapters are written in the form of novels. Nalan Xingde who "does not shy away from the ice and snow for your love", Zhang Huiyan who "looks lonely outside the setting sun, and is filled with sorrow", Gong Zizhen who "flowers bloom at the same time as the spring twilight", Jiang Chunlin who "tears into the pipa" are the focus of this volume. The other authors also have great personalities and characteristics. Among them are Li E, a reclusive scholar who "is still lying in the deep valley", Zheng Banqiao, an alternative painter who "ruined all his articles and wiped out his reputation", Hong Liangji, an imperial editor who was outspoken and angered Long Yan, and Huang Jingren, a poor poet who died in his prime and was famous in the mountains. In addition, Lin Zexu and Deng Tingzhen, two powerful figures in the political arena of the late Qing Dynasty, also appear on the stage in this volume of essays, showing off their lyrical skills. What is particularly worth mentioning is that the essays in this volume outline the portraits of three female poets. They are He Shuangqing, a farmer's wife, Wu Zao, a businessman, and Gu Chun, a princess with a mysterious life experience from the Taiping Lake. Three talented women perform three plays. Although there is a huge gap in their status and circumstances, their elegant and noble thoughts and writing styles have an indistinguishable charm.
