Features: Ma Yuqing was a renowned book collector in modern China, making significant contributions to the rescue and preservation of ancient Chinese novels and theatrical works. He dedicated considerable effort to research in this field and became one of the great scholars who followed Lu Xun in delving into the study of the history of novels. However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, his research and status were not given the recognition they deserved. This book collects his works on the study of novels and theatrical works, bibliography, and a new annotated edition of Lüguibofu, largely reflecting his achievements in the research of novels and theater. These contents remain highly valuable for those today who are dedicated to the study of novels and theatrical works.
