Features: This series of books adopts a unique publishing format: we publish the original ancient drama alongside its contemporary adaptation into a novel or what can be called a story in the same book. In one volume, you can enjoy the ups and downs of the dramatic story with great pleasure, while also savoring the exquisite lines of the original drama at your own pace. However, it must be emphasized that their relationship is not a simple contrast between written and colloquial language. Although the adaptation remains faithful to the original, it also reflects the author's understanding and creativity, which can be considered a form of transformation. The original remains the original, but to facilitate children's reading, specialists in writing have made textual revisions, proofread, and annotated it. We believe that through such adaptation, proofreading, and revision, the mysterious veil of classical drama will be gently lifted, and our children along with the readers who love Chinese classical drama will gradually step into its magnificent hall. At least, the reading difficulty is reduced by more than half. To understand it, to become familiar with it, and then to memorize it, master it, even to perform it, inherit it, and promote it.
