The name "Book of Scholars" originated from Jin Shengtan's concept of the "Six Books of Scholars," in which he regarded the classical Chinese literature such as the Zhuangzi, Li Sao, Records of the Grand Historian, Du Fu's regulated verse, Water Margin, and Romance of the West Chamber as works of literary excellence that scholars and talented individuals must read. After the early Qing Dynasty, it came to refer to novels that depicted romantic relationships, with male and female protagonists who were both talented and beautiful. They all featured charming scholars and stunningly beautiful ladies as protagonists, indulgently describing the tender affections and romantic escapades of these literary figures and their lovers.
