Features: This book defines the scope of Dunhuang fiction and, based on the actual conditions of the history of Chinese fiction, divides it into two main parts: Dunhuang classical fiction and Dunhuang popular fiction. It provides a relatively detailed description of the works discussed and conducts a relatively in-depth and meticulous analysis of them from the perspective of narrative art. This book particularly focuses on the study of Dunhuang popular fiction and is a specialized theoretical work on Dunhuang fiction. Using narratological theory to analyze Dunhuang fiction is a major feature of this book, and it is also an aspect that has been relatively lacking in previous research. The main purpose of this book is to accurately position Dunhuang fiction in the history of Chinese fiction, the history of Chinese literature, and the history of Chinese culture.
