Author: Chen Jiming (Selected and Commented on)
Publisher:
Publishing Date: 2007-01-01
Features: The outstanding features of Huang Ruiyun's fables lie in their broad content, profound thought, and the boldness and courage to intervene in reality. The reason why his fable ideas are so extensive and profound is that he is first and foremost a scholar with extensive knowledge. Although Huang Ruiyun's fables also use many traditional themes, his expressive techniques are always relatively novel and do not fall into old patterns. What is particularly important is that he uses themes that no one else has ever used. Huang Ruiyun has published numerous fables, but this book only selects one hundred and thirty-three, less than a quarter of his entire works. It cannot be said that only these one hundred and thirty-three fables are the essence of Huang Ruiyun's fables, but these one hundred and thirty-three fables are indeed the essence. The author's comments mainly provide some explanations about the writing background, intentions, and relevant circumstances of Huang Ruiyun himself, rather than criticism, let alone research. The author adopts the approach of "if there is something to say, it will be long; if there is nothing to say, it will be short." To ensure the accuracy of the content, the author extensively uses Huang Ruiyun's original words; regarding the creative process and intentions of the works, the author can consult him piece by piece.
