Features: Legend has it that long ago, there was an island nation called Sasan, ruled by King Sharyar. Due to the infidelity of his queen, the king was greatly enraged and had all the queens, maids, and attendants in the palace killed. Afterward, he ordered the prime minister to present a young girl to him every day to live with him. The next day, he would kill her, using this as a way to retaliate against the unfaithfulness of women. To save the innocent sisters from being unjustly killed and to curb the king's cruelty, the prime minister's daughter, Scheherazade, voluntarily had her father send her to the king. Every night, she told the king an engaging and moving story, sometimes even shedding tears with great emotion. Whenever the story reached its climax, it would be close to dawn.
The story of "Aladdin's Magic Lamp" is selected from the Arabic folk tales collection One Thousand and One Nights. "One Thousand and One" is used to describe the vast number of stories, and after being introduced to China, people edited them into a collection called The Arabian Nights. In ancient China, the Arab region was regarded as "Tianfang," and in etymology, "tan" and "tan" are considered synonymous. Moreover, these stories were mostly told during leisure hours, such as after meals or on summer nights while cooling off, or in winter evenings around a fire. This is how The Arabian Nights got its name. One Thousand and One Nights has been widely circulated and possesses enduring artistic charm, making it a favorite among readers worldwide.
