Features: This book is the result of Lin Chen's painstaking efforts as an expert in ancient fiction research. It uncovers the intrinsic laws of Chinese fiction, highlights its national characteristics, and presents fresh perspectives, viewpoints, and arguments. It clearly organizes the development of ancient fiction and analyzes the artistic techniques of Chinese fiction. This Introduction to Ancient Fiction is both a "beginner's guide to fiction" and a book with "academic depth." The "beginner's guide" aspect explains the basic knowledge of ancient fiction in simple and clear language, while the "academic depth" lies in presenting the author's series of new viewpoints alongside the fundamental knowledge, encouraging readers to engage in intellectual discourse and guide them on the path to independent thinking in scholarship. The author believes: The path of scholarship is like walking on a well-trodden path crowded with others—only by leaving your own clear footprints can you make progress. To merely follow in others' footsteps will always leave you behind.
