What are the representative works of Yuan Dynasty novels?

The representative novels of the Yuan Dynasty include: Hao Er edited by Lu Xianzhi (that is, the ancient and modern novels contained in Zhang, the Duke of Song Dynasty who made a scene and stopped his soul), and five kinds of Pinghua in the Yuan Dynasty (including attacking Zhou Shu, Pinghua, Pinghua in the Six Kingdoms of Qin, Pinghua and Pinghua in Qin). Wait a minute.

The number of novels in the Yuan Dynasty is very small, and most of the novels in the Song and Yuan Dynasties that have been preserved so far were revised in the Ming Dynasty, so it is difficult to determine their dynasties. Such as "A New Tale of Mountain Residence", "Tales of Rivers and Lakes", "Continued Records" by Wu and "Tianshu" by Yi Shizhen. But these are not masterpieces.

As for Dou E's Injustice, Away from the Soul, Autumn Rain in Han Palace and Wu Tong, etc. , all belong to Yuan Zaju, not novels.

In addition, Pei Xiuniang's Night Tour of the West Lake (Wan Jinlin Lin Qing Volume 2), Qiantang Dream (the appendix of the new edition of Kuiben with all-round participation and the wonderful story of the West Chamber), Wang Kui (the remnant book published in the Ming Dynasty, with no title, is divided into two columns, the upper column is a novel and the lower column is a legendary opera), and

1, "Haoer Zhao Zheng"

This story tells the story of two apprentices of Song Sigong, Hou Xing, who played tricks on the thrifty rich man, Bird Wai, and Wang Dianzhi, who caught the thief. The neighborhood and customs of the capital of song dynasty recorded in the book are familiar to Lu Xianzhi's hometown, so they are very real. Lu Xianzhi's portrayal of Zhao Zheng, a figure that harms the people, is of positive significance to those rich people who are heartless and rich, and to those who are willing to be servants of the big bureaucratic rich man.

2. Five Kinds of Full-face Pinghua published in Yuan Dynasty

There are five kinds of Pinghua in the township, including Wuwang Zhou Fan Pinghua, Qiguo Chunqiu Pinghua, Qinliuguo Pinghua, Pre-Han Pinghua and Sanguo Pinghua. There are three volumes, namely, the upper volume, the middle volume and the lower volume, which are part of the collection of storytelling published by Jian 'an Yushu Bookstore from Yuan Dynasty to Zhengnian. At that time, it was a unique story book that was interpreted by combining real historical materials with folklore, and its artistic form was similar to that of storytelling in later generations. The language, characters, poems and sentence-making methods in this script provide vivid reference for the study of vernacular Chinese in the early Yuan Dynasty.

Five Pinghua in Yuan Dynasty aims to reflect the artistic level of China ancient prints and their achievements in related fields. The book is illustrated with pictures and texts, which is very readable and observable, and is of great value to understanding the history of printmaking and art.
