Wenkang

The reason why chivalrous koan novels have been popular in our country for a long time and are welcomed by people from all walks of life is mainly because the famous officials and officials portrayed in chivalrous koan novels mostly appear as upright and honest people. They are upright, not afraid of powerful people, and considerate of the people. Many people have been deified by the author and become "supermen"; the image of knights and righteous men is close to the people. They rob the rich and give to the poor, eradicate corrupt officials, and become the embodiment of justice. They are the saviors in the eyes of the people and the hope for social stability and peace. As the most popular form of literature with Chinese cultural characteristics, chivalrous koan novels themselves are the remnants of traditional culture. The characteristics of chivalrous koan novels, in which chivalrous men and upright officials eradicate evil and hoe rapes, are deeply imprinted on the people's expectation of political clarity and super-powerful justice, and reflect the aspirations of the people from a specific perspective. Of course, there are inevitably certain historical limitations, which need to be correctly understood by readers during the reading process.

Today, the editor of "Ten Chinese Tragedies and Comedies" published by Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House in 1989 identified him as an anonymous person from the Ming Dynasty. When I was rewriting it, I renamed it "Qujiang Singer". This is because the original name is difficult to understand, not popular and loud, and because someone has changed it to this name. I think "The Songstress of Qujiang" highlights the identity of the heroine and is defined by place names, making it popular and loud. Li Yaxian was born in the Tang Dynasty and was a famous singing girl in Quchi Scenic Area in Chang'an, the capital. She fell in love sincerely with the scholar Zheng Yuanhe.

"The New Talented Man Nine Clouds" has been lost in our country for a long time and was only discovered this year. The book tells the story of Yang Shaoyou, a young student from Xianning County, Wuchang Prefecture, Huguang Province, who passed the imperial examination and rose to the rank of prime minister. His six sons lived up to their family status and were all on the gold medal list. They can be said to be a glorious ancestor. In terms of narrative and artistic techniques, this book not only inherits the unity of ancient novels, but also creates a unique way of describing the world. It can be regarded as a relatively mature vernacular novel.
