"The Peony Pavilion Picture Book" was carefully painted by the young painter Hua Zhangyi over a period of three years, recreating the fantasy and romantic love story that transcends life and death in the works of Tang Xianzu, a playwright of the Ming Dynasty. During a dream trip to a garden, Du Liniang, a daughter of an official family who had been living in a boudoir for a long time, fell in love at first sight with the scholar Liu Mengmei in her dream. However, she died of grief and turned into a ghost, and fell in love with a human ghost in Liu Sheng. After many twists and turns, Du Liniang came back to life, and the two married themselves without a matchmaker, and they will be together forever. More than 70 master-level paintings in the book are a new interpretation of the pinnacle of Chinese classical drama "The Peony Pavilion". The vernacular text adapted in a storyboard style retains the complete story line, three-dimensional character portrayal and classic lyrics, allowing readers to quickly appreciate the essence of the story of "The Peony Pavilion". This is not only an easy-to-read master-level picture book that depicts the drama classic "The Peony Pavilion", but it is also a work of art with great aesthetic value and collection value.
