"Liancheng Bi" is a collection of vernacular short stories written by Li Yu, a famous dramatist in the Qing Dynasty, and is also a classic of ancient Chinese vernacular novels. The book is composed of twelve independent stories. The themes are close to urban life, covering love, marriage, fame, good and evil, retribution, etc. The style is popular and humorous, and the plot is twists and turns. The work depicts various aspects of the world from a civilian perspective, creating vivid images such as an actor, a beggar, a civil servant, a scholar, a jealous wife, and a righteous servant. The story is both humorous and satirical, and contains moral advice. The author is good at using coincidences and reversals to promote the plot, and reveals the good and evil of human nature and the world's human feelings in the joys and sorrows. The language is simple, smooth and highly readable. This book has both literary interest and educational significance.
