Waters of the Jordan River

Zhang Ziping

38K0

"Water of the Yotan River", his debut novel published in 1920, was Zhang Ziping's early work. Most of it reflected the yearning and pursuit of young men and women during the "May 4th" period for freedom of love and freedom of marriage, as well as the constraints imposed on them by the outdated feudal ethics and money power. It reflected anti-feudal ideas and the desire for liberation. This was consistent with the trend of the times at that time, making him an important novelist second only to Yu Dafu in the early creation society. After the mid-1920s, the focus of Zhang Ziping's novel creation shifted. Triangular, four-cornered and even polygonal love became the main theme of his novel creation, making him very popular and gaining a large number of readers. Romance novels brought Zhang Ziping widespread fame, but also brought him considerable criticism. The novel "Spring in Meiling" accuses the oppression of young men and women by feudal ethics and old customs through the love tragedy of child bride Baoying. The novella "Flying Catkins" is adapted from a Japanese novel and tells the story of the marriage tragedy of a female student in the 1920s. It was very popular among readers after its publication and was printed in three editions within half a year. Because of these creations, Zhang Ziping became a very popular writer in my country in the 1920s. His works were best-selling for eight years and he was known as "the founder of modern Chinese romance novels."

Zhang Ziping, the founder of modern Chinese romance novels, occupies an important position in the history of modern Chinese literature. The first full-length novel in the history of modern Chinese literature was written by him. He was one of the most popular writers in my country in the early 1930s and the most prolific writer in the "Creation Society". His works had many readers and had a profound influence on the literary world. His works focus on describing the love between young men and women, from love triangles to polyamorous love. Lu Xun sarcastically called him a "triangular and polyamorous love novelist." In the Chinese metropolises at that time, citizens regarded holding Zhang Ziping's novels as a fashionable way of life. "Flying Catkins" is Zhang Ziping's second full-length romance novel. First published in June 1926 by Shanghai Guangming Bookstore. The work describes the story of an emotionally fragile young woman who was addicted to the vortex of love and finally committed suicide in love.
