Features: In the 18th and 19th centuries in Europe, if you asked a scholar or writer which Chinese novel they considered the best, they would undoubtedly tell you it was A Love Across the Mountains. The title of A Love Across the Mountains is derived from the phrase "A gentle and graceful woman, a fine match for a nobleman" from the Guofeng section of the Book of Songs (Book of Odes). The entire 18-volume work tells the love story of Tie Zhongyu and Shui Bingxin. The two, who help each other in adversity, develop mutual affection while strictly adhering to the principles of propriety. In the end, they are granted a marriage by imperial decree, becoming the perfect "match." Wu Hang Ye Ke commented in A Small History of Zhen Chun Yuan that A Love Across the Mountains has a unique style, breaking free from common themes, and that even a master like Qin Xi Bian Shi could stand out with his own banner. Yu Xin, who had often criticized the tales of scholars and beauties, said of A Love Across the Mountains that it "has better literary craftsmanship and slightly more distinctive character personalities."
