[Chinese classical masterpieces that have been popular in Europe for two hundred years have triggered the craze of "transmitting middle schools to the west".
[German literature master Goethe wrote after reading this book: The Chinese are almost the same as us in terms of thoughts, behaviors and emotions, but everything there is clearer, purer and more moral than here. The story is interspersed with countless allusions, which are like mottos. For example, it is said that a girl walked lightly and stood on a flower, and the flower was not damaged; it is also said that a man and woman in love were very chaste and self-possessed during their long acquaintance. Once they had to spend the night in the same room, so they talked all night long without disturbing each other.
You can read some ancient novels: this book is also called "The Legend of Hao Qiu". There are more than 30 selected or complete translations in English, French, Dutch, German, Latin, Russian, Japanese and other foreign languages. The book was translated into English in the 18th century and was later translated into French, German and Dutch as a basis, triggering the first boom in translation and publishing in Europe. For a long time, it has become an important reference for Westerners to understand Chinese literature and culture. It is also the first novel to be translated into Western languages. "The Legend of the Chivalrous Man" written by Takizawa Makoto of Japan was adapted from this book. This also shows the profound influence of this Chinese legendary novel on Japanese literature.
A one-page classic of Chinese classical novels. The plot is compact and dangerous. It makes people sigh at the villain's immortality and the hatefulness of trying to succeed again and again! Tie Zhongyu's integrity and heroism; Shui Bingxin's intelligence, wisdom, and purity make people read it so catchy that they can't put it down!
