Why did Tian Lianyuan only have 100 chapters in the Water Margins video?
Why did Tian Lianyuan only have 100 chapters in the Water Margins video? This question involved Tian Lianyuan's storytelling history and the plot of the Water Margins. Tian Lianyuan was a famous storyteller at the end of the Qing Dynasty. The Water Margins video he recorded was completed under the guidance of his partner, Zhang Shaohua. Due to the limitations of the era and recording technology, the video that Tian Lianyuan recorded did not reach the level of the entire Water Margins. Instead, he only recorded 100 chapters. The 100-chapter Water Margins was already popular at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The video that Tian Lianyuan recorded was recorded at the end of the Qing Dynasty, so his video did not include the complete content of the Water Margins. In addition, because the plot of Water Margins was very complicated, recording a video required a lot of time and energy, so Tian Lianyuan and his partner were unlikely to record the entire Water Margins. Therefore, Tian Lianyuan only had 100 chapters of the Water Margins because he was unable to record the entire content of the Water Margins and also because of the limitations of the era and recording technology.
