Features: Ancient Chinese literary works, apart from some widely circulated pieces in Tang poetry and Song lyrics, the most influential among contemporary readers must be novels. Among novels, besides the four major classics—Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, Journey to the West, and Dream of the Red Chamber—other works with a large readership include "Er Yan San Pai," Golden Lotus, The Scholars, and Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. In contrast to the widespread popularity of novels among the masses, academic research on them tends to lean towards complex textual and metaphysical theoretical directions. Bridging the gap between scholarly research and the mass reading of the general public has long been a question and direction of our efforts.
The book Water Margin is rich in the traditional Chinese social and cultural heritage, yet over the centuries, it has been subjected to numerous misinterpretations for various reasons. The focus of this book is to expose the of the misleading interpretations and restore the original essence of Water Margin to the readers, serving as a valuable reference for rereading the book and understanding its evolutionary process.
