The Three Wonderful Stories of the Flower Goddess (An Erotic Novel That Was Once Banned)

This is a popular short romance novel from the Ming Dynasty, which mainly describes the erotic affair between Bai Jingyun and his three cousins, Zhao Mianniang, Sister Li Qiong, and Sister Chen Qi. During the Zhizheng period of the Yuan Dynasty, Bai Jingyun, a handsome man from the south of the Yangtze River, met these three women when he was traveling in Wushan. They all admired each other's beauty and fell in love with them. Baiwei followed to Zhao's house and found out that Zhao's widowed mother was in the house, and that Li and Chen were her aunts and cousins ​​who were staying in their home to avoid the war. Bai Zai rented a house next door to his sisters and worshiped Zhao's mother as his adoptive mother. He often went in and out of their house, and gradually fell in love with Jin Niang and became a happy couple. With the help of Jin Niang, he had fun with Sister Qiong and Sister Qi successively. The four of them made an alliance under the moonlight, often sang poems and songs, and had fun. The descriptions in this book are euphemistic and delicate, and the images are relatively vivid. Almost all the plots in the book were copied by later generations of novels about talents and beauties and erotic novels. Together with the novella "Jiaohong Ji" and "The Adventures of Tianyuan" and other classical Chinese novels, they directly influenced and promoted the development and prosperity of novels in the second generation of Ming and Qing Dynasties.
