"Jingshi Tongyan" describes the lives of citizens in the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, showing the persecution they suffered under the rule of the feudal dark forces and their resistance struggles. Love descriptions account for a large proportion in the works of "Warning to the World", which generally reflect the more common social problems at that time, especially the misfortunes of women. Among them, "Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Box in Anger" represents the highest achievement of the Ming Dynasty's scripts in both ideological and artistic terms. "Warning to the World" also has some works that promote loyalty, such as "Lu Dalang Returns Gold and Flesh and Bones", which emphasizes the need to be generous with temporary wealth, "Zhao Taizu Sends Thousand Miles to Jingniang" highlights selfless help to others, and "Gui Yuan's Confession while Traveling" criticizes ungrateful behavior from the negative side, all of which reflect the moral concepts of the citizen class. However, there are many works in "Jingshi Tongyan", such as "Old Disciple Repays His Gratitude in Three Lives", "Chen Kechang Sitting on the Dragon Boat Festival", etc., Which advocate feudal morality and promote religious superstition. This shows that even some excellent works are often mixed with some backward ideological elements and show considerable limitations.

"The Scholars" is a novel with intellectuals as the main description object, and it is also a typical satirical novel. It describes some images of Confucian scholars who were deeply poisoned by the eight-part imperial examination system. For example, it is written that Zhou Jin and Fan Jin spent their entire lives trying to pass the examination, and even when their beards turned gray, they still failed to pass the examination. Although life was extremely difficult, he still couldn't forget the imperial examination. Zhou Jin passed by an examination room and went in to watch. He was touched by a lifetime of bitterness and pain. He burst into tears and was so sad that he could not help but feel miserable. Later, with the help of some small businessmen, he took the exam and won the sympathy of the examiner, and things turned around. When he passed the exam, those who had ridiculed him in the past came to flatter him and praised him as the most knowledgeable person. Another example is Fan Jin. Before he passed the imperial examination, his family was so poor that he had no rice to cook with, so he went to the market to sell an old hen. When he learned that he had won the election, he was so happy that he became a madman. Fortunately, his father-in-law Hu Tuhu slapped him and he regained consciousness. At this time, the local squires and other prominent people all looked at him with admiration. Some gave him houses and some gave him property. Fan Jin's life immediately changed... And so on, which reflected the corruption of the secular customs at that time. On the one hand, it truly reveals the process and reasons for the corruption of human nature, thereby deeply criticizing and ridiculing the corruption of officialdom at that time, the shortcomings of imperial examinations, and the hypocrisy of ethics; on the other hand, it passionately praises the protection of human nature by a few characters by insisting on themselves, thus embodying the author's ideals.

"The Miracle of 20th Century Poetry" Sylvia Plath's violent swan song towards death and rebirth. 40 Unpublished manuscripts with poem creation dates, translator Bao Huiyi's long translation postscript and annotations, the latest complete Chinese classic version. A beloved book by contemporary cultural icon Patti Smith and feminist pioneer Anne Sexton. This collection of poems begins with "love" and ends with "spring". Suicide was just a moment lost to sadness, and she never gave up this effort until her death. Because there is a cruel but beautiful world between ascension and fall that is worth risking your life for. "Ariel" is irreplaceable - it is a posthumous work and the most authentic representation of Plath's depressed mental world before her death. It also adds more appeal and authenticity to the semi-autobiographical coming-of-age novel "The Bell Jar" ten years ago. If "The Bell Jar" records her rebellion and restlessness in adolescence, then "Ariel" is her more authentic "confession." Before Plath committed suicide in her London apartment in 1963, she left a black spring binder on her desk, which contained 40 complete poetry manuscripts. It was originally titled "Ariel and Other Poems". Her husband Hughes organized and deleted the poems according to the order of the manuscript (deleting poems that were too cruel or allusive), and published them in two different editions in the United Kingdom and the United States in 1965 and 1966 respectively. This restored version of "Ariel" contains 40 complete poems with dates of creation, and is arranged in strict accordance with the order of the manuscript left by Plath, making it of special and irreplaceable significance compared with other works. It authentically presents the poet's mental journey along the way and is the most authentic confession of Plath's conflicted and struggling life. It has been translated by Bao Huiyi, an authoritative domestic literary translator and writer (the editor and translator have made extensive revisions to the translation). It is accompanied by a long postscript and nearly 40 annotations. It has been published in its entirety for the first time!

New People's Theory·recasting the British Empire: from American Independence to World War Ii

224K0

This book tells the story of how Britain re-emerged through step-by-step reform, development and expansion from 1784 to 1939 after the defeat in the North American War of Independence and the disintegration of the First Empire. Domestically, in the face of population growth and the polarization between rich and poor brought about by the Industrial Revolution, Britain was not bewitched by abstract ideas. Instead, it used parliament as a reform mechanism and in a spirit of mutual accommodation, which prevented clusters of social conflicts from intensifying into large-scale violence. As far as the overseas empire is concerned, the failure of North America made British imperialism enter a new stage. It no longer carried out rigid control, but emphasized the value of freedom and the symbol of royal power as a bond, giving more autonomy to the colonies, which was also tested by the world war.
