Features: The story of Yue Fei, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, who was loyal to his country and died unjustly, has been widely celebrated for thousands of years. The Shuo Yue Quan Chuan (Complete Tale of Yue Fei), produced during the Kangxi era of the Qing Dynasty, is the most accomplished work in the "Shuo Yue" series of novels and can be regarded as the culmination of the story of Yue Fei. Written by Qian Cai and Jin Feng, the authors combined fictional and historical elements to create many memorable plots, such as "Yue Fei Piercing the Little Liang Wang," "Yue Mu Piercing the Word of Loyalty," and "Gao Cheng Juggling the Slippery Cart," all of which have become household stories. Shuo Yue Quan Chuan vividly portrays "Yue Fei's loyalty, Qin Hui's treachery, and Wuzhu's ruthlessness," enthusiastically praising Yue Fei and his Yue family's patriotic spirit of loyalty and resistance against enemies, while condemning Qin Hui and other treacherous officials for their betrayal, cowardice, and persecution of loyalists. Yue Fei was extraordinarily brave, wise, and virtuous, embodying loyalty, filial piety, integrity, and devotion to his country. For the sake of "loyalty," he placed his life and family in danger, willingly sacrificing himself without complaint—this is the very reason that has moved countless readers for thousands of years. Niu Gao was straightforward, simple-minded, and brave but reckless, resembling a Lü Dongbin-style; yet he always turned misfortune into good fortune, making him a lucky general. This uniquely characterized figure has won widespread popularity.
