A chapter-based novel about the Calabash Brothers, a tale of gods and demons written in the style of vernacular fiction from the Ming and Qing dynasties, rather than classical Chinese. It has 54 chapters. Its style is similar to Journey to the West, with some touches of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Dream of the Red Chamber. Though the Calabash Brothers originated as animated characters, they now stand alongside Sun Wukong, Nezha, and others.
Synopsis: Tao Yuanming, the foremost recluse of the Eastern Jin dynasty, was so enamored with the scenery of Peach Blossom Spring that he carved out a retreat of his own, Five Willows Valley. But the old gentleman had no idea that two demons, Snake and Scorpion, were imprisoned beneath a mountain in this paradise known as Calabash Mountain. Many years later, the miraculous land was thriving with people, but the demons found their chance to escape from Calabash Mountain. From then on, Five Willows Valley knew no peace...
