About This Novel
"The Peony Pavilion Picture Book" was carefully painted by the young painter Hua Zhangyi over a period of three years, recreating the fantasy and romantic love story that transcends life and death in the works of Tang Xianzu, a playwright of the Ming Dynasty. During a dream trip to a garden, Du Liniang, a daughter of an official family who had been living in a boudoir for a long time, fell in love at first sight with the scholar Liu Mengmei in her dream. However, she died of grief and turned into a ghost, and fell in love with a human ghost in Liu Sheng. After many twists and turns, Du Liniang came back to life, and the two married themselves without a matchmaker, and they will be together forever. More than 70 master-level paintings in the book are a new interpretation of the pinnacle of Chinese classical drama "The Peony Pavilion". The vernacular text adapted in a storyboard style retains the complete story line, three-dimensional character portrayal and classic lyrics, allowing readers to quickly appreciate the essence of the story of "The Peony Pavilion". This is not only an easy-to-read master-level picture book that depicts the drama classic "The Peony Pavilion", but it is also a work of art with great aesthetic value and collection value.

Live passionately after death
It turns out that this is a book about life consciousness, the so-called dream in a garden, awakening from the ignorance of inaction. The awakening of life is expressed in this book in the form of desire or love. Liniang died once, and then she lived with the strongest emotions. What makes people think even more is that it was only after she died that she began to face difficulties in the world. Perhaps, only when the soul wakes up can we truly come to the world. The paintings in the picture book are beautiful, soft and enchanting, making people fall into dreams. The refined and rewritten passages also have a unique charm.
