The book has four volumes and 50 chapters. The author is unknown and is often classified as a popular vernacular novel.
The purpose of the novel is to use "vulgar sentiments" as the entry point, by describing women's behaviors and emotions in daily life, to resolve negative temperaments such as aggressiveness, jealousy, and lust, and then return them to morality, moderation, and chastity, which reflects the author's social concern for women's moral shaping. The preface at the beginning emphasizes: Although many ancient teachings are profound in reason but not emotional, they should be based on "common feelings" to cultivate women's character.
Through various chapters or stories, the book shows the reflective family ethics, boudoir etiquette and female cultivation fields, and connects traditional female education with the reality of the market. It is a popular masterpiece that combines education and interest. The language is easy to understand and the plot is touching. It is a unique female-themed work among the popular novels of the late Qing Dynasty.
Reader comments
Not bad, watchable
Very good! Thank you!
This book is full of positive energy and is a good book
The introduction of the book has nothing to do with the content, nor does it have anything to do with the sword fairy. It is just a novel that covers public cases and redress of grievances.
