Selected Chinese Classic Novels (set of Three Volumes)

About This Novel
Includes two novels, "Mingyuetai" and "Hedong Ji". The book "Ming Yue Tai" has twelve chapters. It starts from a myth and tells the story of two people's experiences. The opposite is true and the contrast is sharp. The intention is as stated in the preface of the book: "From loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, joys and sorrows, a vague and absurd reason is born, and the reason is used to punish and persuade the world." This book was conceived and created by the author based on what he saw and heard in his personal experience, and in some places he also borrowed from "Dream of Red Mansions". "Hedong Ji" was written by Xue Yusi. Many stories in the book took place during the Yamato period (827-835) of Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty, so we know that this book was written after the Yamato period. Although the content of this book is characterized by weirdness and weirdness, it is different from those fantasy novels that simply promote monsters and monsters. Instead, it often reflects real life in twists and turns through supernatural stories, which reflects the characteristics of intentional novels in the Tang Dynasty. The book not only boldly satirizes the ignorance of emperors and bureaucrats as well as political corruption, but also criticizes evil behaviors such as murdering people for money, selfishness and cruelty, and also creates some beautiful images of women. In short, this book is still a better collection of Tang Dynasty legendary novels.
