This book is a collection of novels by the Japanese writer Kyoka Izumi. It includes five representative works: "The Holy Monk of Kono", "The Sleepy Watcher", "Surgery Room", "The Legend of Pipa" and "The Love of Yushima". It was translated by the famous translator Wen Jieruo. Izumi Kyoka's writing style is pure and brilliant, the content is profound and realistic, and the cruel reality is revealed in the dreamlike description. For example, "Surgery" uses unexpected dramatic plots to show the struggle of lovers in love against feudal arranged marriages. "Yushima Love" uses the description of the short life of the geisha Tokichi to reflect the miserable life of the people at the bottom, especially women, under the rule of feudal nobles. The novel's writing is compact and the plot is bizarre. While reading, one can speculate about the origin of ghosts, estimate the elasticity of human nature, and rejoice in one's own mediocrity, accompanied by Izumi Kyoka's clear Japanese voice.

This book contains a total of thirteen short stories and short stories by Akutagawa.

There is a mountain of books and a sea of ​​barnyards, and a garden of literature and history. I sink and play in it, and the hook is not hidden, and it is written in a day. It comes naturally at random, randomly, vertically and horizontally, and cannot be suppressed. From the high-ranking officials in the temple to the ordinary people in the city, from the depths of Zichen to the fate of the rivers and lakes, everything he writes about comes immediately and leaps onto the page.

He is less light and unrestrained and more depressed and desolate. This is easily evident from his works.

This novel is first of all a satirical work, a "slander", and its object of ridicule is the various evil habits in the British literary world at that time represented by Driffield (alluding to Hardy - although Maugham once publicly denied it) and Arroy Gere (alluding to Hugh Walpole) in the book, just like a British "The Scholars". "Bi Hua Chai Video" is also a hymn, praising Driffield's ex-wife and the heroine Lucy in the book: this image of the charming Earth Mother can be called the most charming female character in Maugham's works. This image has been haunting the author for decades. In his mind, he had long thought about writing it into his own works but struggled with the opportunity. It was not until the writing of "Bi Huachai Video Recording" that this long-awaited opportunity finally came into being; Maugham himself also frankly admitted that this was the most touching female image he had ever created.
