The man who sold a ghost -- Chinese tales of the 3rd-6th centuries
汉魏六朝小说选
This collection contains some of the best Chinese tales from the third to
the sixth century.
They fall into two main categories: stories of the supernatural and anecdotes
about historical figures. The former, which clearly predominate, evolved from
earlier myths and legends.
Lu Hsun said in his Brief History of Chinese Fiction: “When primitive men were
puzzled by the ever-changing phenomena of nature, they made stories to explain
them. And so myths started.” As society developed, myths changed into legends.
The chief characters in myths are gods, while in legends they are men with
semi-divine qualities. The ancient myths and legends of China have not been
preserved because the ruling class neglected them; but occasional examples can
be found in old works of philosophy or history. Thus the Book of Mountains and
Seas has preserved many myths and legends of bygone heroes. Another work of the
Warring States Period, the Travels of King Mu, records how this Chou dynasty
king journeyed in a carriage drawn by eight divine horses to the Queen Mother of
the West. The ghost and fairy stories of the third to the sixth century were
inspired by the spirit we find in those early myths and legends.
Since the old myths and legends were closely linked with ancient history, the
earliest historical records often include them as authentic facts. Later legends
parted company with myths and became more like modern stories. This collection
also includes anecdotes about real men — another type of early Chinese fiction.
Though the tales about the supernatural originated in myths and legends, they
possess a distinctive social content and a fair degree of realism.

Three Kingdoms (1-3)
三国演义（1-3）
In English. Three Volumes (1, 2 & 3). Total of 1698 pages. Attributed to Luo
Guangzhong. Translated by Moss Roberts.
Introduction: "The empire, long divided, must unite; long united, must divide.
Thus it has ever been." With this characterization of the inevitable cycle of
Chinese history, the monumental tale Three Kingdoms begins. As important for
Chinese culture as the Homeric epics have been for the West, this Ming dynasty
masterpiece continues to be read and loved throughout China as well as in Japan,
Korea, and Vietnam. The novel offers a startling and unsparing view of how power
is wielded, how diplomacyis conducted, and how wars are planned and fought; it
has infulenced the ways that Chinese think about power, diplomacy, and war even
to this day.
Three Kingdoms portrays a fateful moment at the end of the Han dynasty (206 B.C.
. A.D. 220) when the future of the Chinese empire lay in the balance. Writing
more than a millennium later, Luo Guanzhong drew on often-told tales of this
turbulent period to fashion a sophisticated, compelling narrative, whose
characters display vivid individuality and epic grandeur.
The story begins when the emperor, fearing uprisings by peasant rebels known as
the Yellow Scarves, sends an urgent appeal to the provinces for popular support.
In response, three young men--the aristocratic Liu Xuande, the fugitive Lord
Guan, and the pigbutcher Zhang Fei--meet to pledge eternal brotherhood and
fealty to their beleaguered government. From these events comes a chain of cause
and consequence that leads ultimately to the collapse of the Han.

"Female writers (in China) have secured a unique position not by relying on
feminism of the feminine but by directly contributing new forms of literature,"
writes Professor Chen Meilan in the preface to this fourth edition of writings
by Chinese female authors. The collection attests to the progress of women in
modern Chinese society, both as writers and ordinary individuals.
Each of the six authors (Ye Mei, Fan Xiaoqing, Wang Anyi, Zhang Xin, Lu Xing'er,
tie Ning) in this collection reveals a preoccupation with modern society which
is the theme common to each of the six stories. Here, human relationships and
individual lives clearly express the impact of current social change in China.
How problems of provincialism and economy place pressure on the daily lives of
women, how they cope and seek solutions are explored and in part answered in the
distinctly different settings for the stories this collection contains. From the
traumas of adolescence to the reflections of mature years, on love, work and
marriage, this collection opens the door a notch to the world of women in
contemporary China, to their positions and to the "new forms of literature" used
to portray them.

Han Shan was one of the leading poets of the Tang dynasty, and perhaps the most
'modern' in the remarkable diversity of his subject matter and the breadth of
his emotional responses to the world. He retired to Cold mountain, took its name
for his own, and lived the life of a hermit, leaving some three hundred poems
which, legend has it, friends and visitors copied from the rocks and tree trunks
on which be carved them.
He writes about life on Cold mountain with a painter's eye and devotee's sense
of divine meditation. He writes about his contentment and stoic resignation, but
he also writes about the bitterness of being passed over, about sorrows that
threaten to swamp his Taoist equanimity. he writes about love and the loss of
love; he writes about the reclusive life and about educating the young so that
they will fulfill their roles in society. He writes about missed opportunities
and sudden, unsought enlightenment,.
In short, though he adopted the life of a hermit Han Shan seems to have lived,
however vicariously, a complete life, a diverse emotional and intellectual life
during which the quest for his internal Buddha-nature was never quite capable of
quelling the desire for a full and rich life in the world.

作者简介：
寒山（约712-793）是唐代诗僧，无名无姓，因长期隐居在台州始丰（今浙江天台）西的寒岩，山中寒冷，故自号寒山子。
寒山平生喜好作诗，且随作随弃，有一篇一句，即题于竹木石避，或村中屋舍墙壁之上，不复留存。据他本人自述，作诗600道：今存300余首。他的思想是儒家、佛教、道家及神仙家各种观念的糅合，他的诗以教诫说理为主，有较强的劝世功能。诗大都没有题目，在体裁上五言古诗居多。他喜欢采用民间俗语白话入诗，诗风朴实而有真意，浅显直露，通俗易懂。二十世纪二三十年代，寒山被列为初唐三大白话诗人之一。郑振铎称赞寒山诗题材广泛、用典少、通俗明白、是中国白话文学的先行者。
