Features: Yushi Mingyan contains 40 works, divided into three parts: first, storytelling scripts from the Song and Yuan dynasties; second, storytelling scripts and imitations from the Ming dynasty (including works by Feng Menglong); and third, Feng Menglong's own works. Both the first two types of works were edited and revised by Feng Menglong. According to expert research, Yang Sixun's Encounter with an Old Friend in Yan Mountain, Wang Xinyi Saving His Family with One Death, The Monk's Clever Deception of the Empress's Concubine, and The Four Gentlemen of Song Causing Havoc in the Forbidden Spirit Hall may be storytelling scripts from the Song dynasty; Jiang Xingge's Reunion with the Pearl Shirt, Yang Bao's Extraordinary Adventure in the State of Yue, Zheng Huichen's Revenge at the Mulberry Grove, Jin Yuni's Beating of the Unfeeling Lover, and Shen Xiaoxia's Meeting with the Emperor's Farewell Letter may be works from the Ming dynasty (including those by Feng Menglong). The era of the other pieces is difficult to determine. This book contains 40 works, divided into three parts: first, storytelling scripts from the Song and Yuan dynasties; second, storytelling scripts and imitations from the Ming dynasty (including works by Feng Menglong); and third, Feng Menglong's own works.
