One Thousand and One Nights

"One Thousand and One Nights" is a collection of folk tales from the Arab region, and its title has been translated as "Arabian Nights". The great writer Gorky called this work "the most magnificent monument" in the history of world folk literature. According to legend, there was a kingdom of Sasan on the islands of ancient Arabia, and its king was named Shannuya. He was a tyrant who wanted to marry a woman every day and kill her the next morning. The people were very frightened and fled with their daughters. The prime minister's daughter, Sanruzo, was well-educated and voluntarily entered the palace to marry the king in order to save civilian women. She told the king a story every night for a thousand and one nights, and finally moved the king and made him repent, and he stopped killing innocent women. The king ordered people to record all the stories told by Samrudro - this is the origin of "One Thousand and One Nights". The stories in "One Thousand and One Nights" were produced as early as the sixth century AD and were widely spread in India, Persia, Syria, Iraq, Egypt and other places. Originally passed down by word of mouth, it has been continuously enriched and refined over hundreds of years of oral transmission, eventually forming this wonderful and outstanding work.
