Features: Flowers in the Mirror is the only literary masterpiece in the history of Chinese literature that combines fantasy novels, historical novels, satirical novels, and travelogue novels. Set against the backdrop of Wu Zetian establishing the Imperial Examination for Women, the work takes readers on a journey through the extraordinary adventures of Tang Ao, a failed scholar, as he travels to various countries overseas. It immerses readers in a fantastical world filled with wonders and vivid colors. The content is novel, the style is unique, the plot is bizarre, the language is exquisite, and it blends seriousness with humor, leaving a profound and meaningful impact. The satirical style of Flowers in the Mirror has its own distinctive features—whether through ridicule and scorn or playful humor, it is both sharp and witty, yet lively and engaging. The artistic flaws lie in the overly general discussions and narrations, as well as the lack of well-defined, vivid characters, which lead to the novel becoming overly conceptual and lacking in artistic appeal. To promote our national culture and help readers understand this famous novel, Flowers in the Mirror has been illustrated and compiled into Reading Through Pictures. This illustrated edition is richly illustrated and faithful to the original, maintaining the continuity of the story while reflecting the essence and artistic characteristics of the original work. It is suitable for both middle and high school students as well as adults to read. It is hoped that readers will be inspired to read and appreciate Flowers in the Mirror and other classical novels through this book.
