Features: This book is one of the "100 Chinese Classical Masterpieces." In addition to Feng Menglong's own works, excellent short story tales from the Song, Yuan, Ming dynasties and beyond have been rewritten, supplemented, and polished by him, forming a collection that is part of the "Three Words." It contains a total of forty stories, making it a comprehensive collection of short tale tales. Among them, stories such as "The Gardener's Late Encounter with a Fairy," "The Fifteen Guan Coin and the Misfortune of a Joke," "The Mayor's Wild Matchmaking," "The Oil Seller's Exclusive Claim to the Beauty," "Su Xiaomei's Three Challenges to Her Husband," "Lü Dongbin's Flying Sword that Slayed the Yellow Dragon," "The Emperor Sui Yang's Leisurely Journey and Condemnation," and "Lu Tai's Poetry and Wine that Showed Off to the Nobility" are particularly famous. Some criticize the dark reality, some mock feudal etiquette, and some passionately pursue free and happy marriages. The stories are both dramatic, legendary, and complete, transcending the limitations of time and space to recreate a vivid and colorful picture of ancient life.
