"Yu Shi Ming Yan", a collection of vernacular short stories, was originally titled "Ancient and Modern Novels", also known as "Full Image of Ancient and Modern Novels". Compiled by Feng Menglong in the late Ming Dynasty.
Some of them are old versions of the Song and Yuan dialects, and some were drafted by people in the Ming Dynasty. The text may have been processed by the editor. Most of the themes come from folklore, and some are adapted from historical novels and previous novels. "Ming Yan", together with "Tong Yan to Warn the World" and "Everlasting Words to Awaken the World" published later by the author, are collectively known as "Three Words", which is one of the most important collections of ancient Chinese vernacular short stories. It is also usually called "Three Words and Two Pai" together with Ling Shuchu's "Second Pai", namely "Surprise at the First Moment" and "Surprise at the Second Moment".
Reader comments
People who are poor are destined to have a destiny. They may be rich first and then poor, first humble and then noble. They are like clouds whose traces are unpredictable and change in an instant. They cannot be measured by human imagination. For example, in the Song Dynasty, when Lu Mengzheng was a scholar, his family was in a difficult situation. After not having a full meal for three days, I got a melon on credit on the Tianjin Bridge, knocked it on the bridge pillar, and accidentally dropped it under the bridge. The melon flows away with the water, but cannot reach the mouth. Later, when he reached the top position and reached the position of prime minister, he built the Luogua Pavilion to recognize the frustrations of the poor. You said that the person who is the number one prime minister will not be able to enjoy his destiny before it comes. Suppose, when he was falling into a melon, he said to others: "This person will become famous in the future." It would not be an exaggeration to be made ten thousand faces and spat on by others. Who would believe him? Therefore, it is said: "The future is like black paint, which cannot be touched in the dark."
"Yu Shi Ming Yan" mainly explains the skills and methods of communication between people. The book mainly explains a series of folk stories to teach readers the principles of life. The stories are collected from the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties. The book contains many love stories and tells a series of beautiful love stories, which was a great progress in thinking at that time. Of course, the book also tells about the darkness of the officialdom and the corruption of the system. For example, Shen Xiaoxia was slandered and eventually executed for speaking out, which is regrettable.
Feng Menglong collected a large number of folk tales and wrote them in vernacular. These works describe various life scenes. Some of them praise young men and women who are faithful in love and demand free and voluntary marriage. Some praise the style of small craftsmen and small businessmen who put money before justice. Some accuse the tyranny of bureaucrats and landlords and frame innocent civilians. Some expose the conflicts and disputes in feudal families. It profoundly reflects the gradual decline of the feudal landlord class and the gradual rise of the citizen class.
Feng Menglong wrote three famous works, "Tongyan to Warn the World", "Eternal Words to Awaken the World" and "Tongyan to Warning the World", "Everlasting Words to Awaken the World", collectively known as "Three Words". This book is one of them. It is a collection of short stories written in the late Ming Dynasty.
