Features: "The Story of the Mirror Flowers" is often referred to as a novel, but its fictional elements are not particularly strong. To say it lacks strong fiction, it first does not create any truly well-developed typical characters. Even the main characters like Tang Ao and Tang Xiaoshan seem rather pale. Moreover, its structure is extremely loose, with the stories lacking organic connections, appearing as if they are pieced together from countless beautiful images. As a result, its artistic power is weak, and its literary value is not very high. Of course, these shortcomings are merely minor flaws in this great work. It should be said that the author Li Ruzhen poured twenty years of effort into writing this masterpiece, which still holds a certain position among classical Chinese long novels.
