About This Novel
"Eternal Words to Awaken the World" is a collection of short stories in vernacular. Compiled by Feng Menglong in the late Ming Dynasty. It was first published in 1627 (the seventh year of tomorrow). The themes may come from folk facts, historical biographies and stories from the Tang and Song Dynasties. Except for a few old works from the Song and Yuan Dynasties, most of them are works from the Ming Dynasty, and some are imitations by Feng. The image is clear, the structure is substantial and complete, and the description is delicate. It reflects the social outlook and citizens' thoughts and feelings at that time to varying degrees. But some works contain feudal preaching, karma propaganda and pornographic rendering.
