Publishing Date: 2004-04-01
Features: The Green Forest Fairy Tale blends myth, history, and worldly life, with the worldly life section being particularly outstanding. Zheng Zhenduo praised it as "broader in scope than The Scholars, more profound in depicting the dark side of society, and even more vigorous in technique and pen power." He further remarked, "Miao Tu, Xiao Ma, Jin Jie—those street ruffians and courtesans—are portrayed with even greater depth than in The Golden Lotus. It is an extremely readable long narrative in vernacular Chinese by a Qing Dynasty literati, and holds an undeniable position in the history of the novel."
