About This Novel
Zheng Yimei is a well-known literary and historical storyteller at home and abroad, and has written extensively. In 1934, a collection of his essays about flowers and fruits was published as "Flowers and Fruits Essays". Zhou Shoujuan said, "Each recitation is like appreciating famous flowers and eating precious fruits, with a lingering aftertaste." Zhu Tianmu praised his "meaningful writing and detailed textual research." At that time, he was highly praised by famous officials and sages and passed it down as a classic. In summary, "Flowers and Fruits Essays" includes flowers in the front, ranging from plum blossoms to pine trees, spring buds, autumn lilies, summer lilies and winter tea; fruits are in the back, ranging from sugar cane to gourds, plums, floating melons, and pear and jujube; at the end is attached "Xiang Guo Fu", a total of more than 100 pieces. The anecdotes of all flowers and fruits are described in many poems and articles written by the sages. They are rich in splendid fragrances and fruitful fruits. Since the first edition came out, it has been reprinted and spread widely. However, many articles on flowers and fruits failed to harvest, which Zheng Yimei later wrote many times as a regret. The updated edition now released is based on extensive research, intensive review and careful proofreading, comparison of various editions, correction of errors, more than 40 chapters added, and nearly 100 pictures of flowers and fruits.
