late imperial novels

Late imperial Chinese novels often had complex plot structures. They usually incorporated elements of Chinese traditional culture such as Confucian values, Taoist ideas, and Buddhist concepts. For example, 'Dream of the Red Chamber' is a masterpiece of this period, which shows a large family's rise and fall, and reflects various aspects of society at that time, like family ethics, social hierarchy, and the relationship between the sexes.

They often have complex plots. For example, 'Dream of the Red Chamber' has numerous storylines and characters. The social hierarchy is a key aspect, showing different classes from the imperial family to servants.

Wu Cheng'en is also well - known for 'Journey to the West'. This novel is full of imagination, with vivid descriptions of the adventures of the Monkey King and his companions, and it has had a great influence on Chinese and world literature.

Shi Nai'an was the author of 'Water Margin'. He created a world full of heroic outlaws, which has been popular for centuries and has influenced many other works both in China and abroad.

The Imperial Concubine's Favoured Daily Life was an ancient romance novel written by Feng Mulan. The story was about the imperial censor's eldest daughter, Su Lan, who became an imperial concubine. Faced with the emperor's favor and the empress's jealousy, she chose a casual lifestyle. The latest chapter of the novel was chapter 67. The specific plot and development were still unclear.

The most tragic royal family in history did not necessarily refer to the princes of the middle and late Tang Dynasty. In Chinese history, the imperial relatives usually referred to the emperor and his relatives, spouse, brothers, children, etc. They enjoyed high political and economic interests but often faced various unfortunate fates. In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, due to political corruption, economic collapse, natural disasters and other reasons, many princes fell into trouble and lost their power and wealth, which became a tragic ending. For example, during the An Lushan Rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, many princes lost their lives in the war, or were imprisoned, tortured, or even killed. Although some imperial relatives had experienced unfortunate fates, there were also many imperial relatives who had made brilliant achievements and made important contributions to Chinese history. Therefore, the most tragic royal family in history could not be simply limited to a certain period or family.

I'm not sure exactly when they were published in Glasgow. You might need to check with local libraries or bookstores for that specific information.

The novels of the late Ming Dynasty referred to a collection of novels compiled during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty called " Records of the Kingdoms of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty." This collection of novels included some stories related to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty from the Records of the Historian and the Records of the Historian. It mainly talked about the disputes and wars between the various countries from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period. This collection of novels was regarded as a classic of ancient Chinese novels, which had a profound influence on later literature and opera.

I recommend the ancient romance novel "He Xu Qing Huan". The female protagonist, Chu Linlang, was also married to the current emperor by an imperial edict, but she was not the empress dowager but a concubine in the palace. The male protagonist was the emperor's son. The reason why the two of them were together was also because of the words left behind by the late emperor. The plot of this novel was full of twists and turns. There were some sweet pets and palace fights, as well as the mystery of the male lead's background. It was definitely worth reading. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
