The book Tai Ping Guang Ji is divided into 92 categories according to the subject matter, which is divided into 150 details. Fairy stories account for the largest proportion, such as fairy 55 volumes, fairy 15 volumes, retribution 33 volumes, fairy 25 volumes, ghost 40 volumes, which shows the focus of its materials. This book is basically a classified collection of ancient novels. Many lost books are only lost in this book, and some legendary works of the Six Dynasties and the Tang Dynasty have been handed down because of this book. The most noteworthy in the book are nine volumes of miscellaneous biographies, such as Biography of Li Wa, Biography of Liu, Biography of Wu Shuang, Biography of Huo Xiaoyu and Biography of Yingying, most of which are only found in this book. There are also Gu Jingji, Biography of Li Zhangwu, Biography of Away from the Soul, Biography of Liu Yichuan, Biography of the Stone Man and Biography of Conan's Taishou. The classification of Tai Ping Guang Ji is really convenient to look up and has great research value. Fairy stories account for the largest proportion in the book, such as 55 volumes of immortals, 15 volumes of female immortals, 25 volumes of immortals, 40 volumes of ghosts and gods, etc., plus stories of Taoism, alchemists, aliens, monks, interpretation of certificates, animals and plants, etc. , which basically belongs to fairy tales, represents the mainstream of China's classical Chinese novels. Until the Qing Dynasty, the imitation series novels of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio could not jump out of this range. There are 70 volumes of fairy tales in the book, ranking first in the book, which shows the focus of novels in the Tang and Five Dynasties and a cultural and academic tendency in the early Song Dynasty. The competition between Taoism and Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty was fierce. Although Taoism did not prevail, the fairy tales fabricated by Taoist priests and Taoist scholars had a great influence and produced many beautiful and moving novels. For example, The Legend of Eternal Sorrow written by Yang Guifei, who was searched by the alchemist in heaven and earth, is a masterpiece. Famous novels in Tang Dynasty, such as Liu Yichuan, Warrior Biography, Campus Guest Biography, Du Zichun, Zhang Lao and Pei Xing, are also related to Taoism. The immortal thought in the late Tang and Five Dynasties is pervasive. Du Guangting is a great immortal biographer, and many of his works are included in Taiping Guang Ji. The novels in the early Song Dynasty still maintained this trend. However, the classification standard of Taiping Guangji is not uniform. For example, Dong Yang's Ye Guai Lu and Ling Ying Zhuan, both of which are classified as miscellaneous biographies, are not easy to find at present. It can be seen that in the early Song Dynasty, people called some Tang legends "miscellaneous biographies" instead of using the name "legends". The contents of One Carving Surprise, Two Carving Surprise and One Carving Surprise are very complicated and have different ideological tendencies. Although the theme of the story mostly comes from the writings of the previous generation, after Ling's re-creation, it shows the social reality and the atmosphere of the times in the late Ming Dynasty, and is saturated with Ling's own thoughts and resentment against the injustice of the world. There are two main types of works with cognitive value and positive significance in The First Moment: one is the works describing the thoughts, actions and fate of businessmen. "Yun Han meets Qiao Dong Ting Hong, Persia refers to breaking the dragon's shell" describes the content of overseas trade for the first time, and affirms the desire of businessmen to get rich by describing the fate of Wen's business and the process of making a fortune. "Li Gongzuo skillfully interprets dreams and Xie Xiaoe intelligently captures the Shanghai thief" describes the phenomenon that Shen Lan and Shen Chun collude with thieves to rob and get rich. This kind of works objectively reflects some characteristics of the commercial upsurge brought by the germination of capitalism after the middle of Ming Dynasty, and also reflects the changes in people's views on businessmen at that time, indicating that businessmen and commerce have been further concerned and affirmed in the novels. The second is the works describing love and marriage. In this kind of works, Ling shows a more progressive view of women and marriage. "Zhang Liuer weaves a maze skillfully, and Lu Huiniang insists on going to the end", which shows the heroine Lu Huiniang's insight into "meeting Tan Lang by chance", praises her courage and wit in "turning the corner", and affirms that she escaped the kidnapping of her husband Zhang Liuer and eloped with like-minded lovers, showing a new moral outlook. After the witch was cheated and lost her virginity, Jia Xiucai not only understood her, but also took revenge with her, which also reflected new ideas. Luo Xixi's resistance to parents' arranged marriage was written in The Bride Warns the Lights, Warns the Flag Bell to Give Good News. "Swing Club for Ladies in Xuanhui Academy, Couples Laughing and Crying in Qing 'an Temple" describes the struggle between girls' fast songs and their parents' forced marriage. This kind of works shows the idea of advocating truth and opposing ethics and morality, and reflects the ideological interest of citizens. Sanyan, compiled by,,, Xing and Meng Long, includes the codex of Song and Yuan Dynasties and the copy of Ming Dynasty. They are all vernacular short stories. Among the 40 works included in Warning World, the old works of Song and Yuan Dynasties account for nearly half, such as Chen Ke's Immortality and Cui Daizhao's Enemy of Life and Death. But it was all sorted and processed by Feng Menglong. The story of "The White Niangzi Town Leifeng Pagoda" comes from an earlier time, and the writing is similar to that of the Song Dynasty, but some place names and customs are from the Ming Dynasty. Some imitations in Ming Dynasty were written according to ancient books. For example, in Wang Anshi's San Nan Su, the story of singing chrysanthemums comes from Gao Zhai Man Lu, and the story of taking river water comes from the story of Li Zanhuang in China and Korea. Others are adapted from folk rap, for example, at the end of an article entitled "County Luo Shirt Club", it is pointed out that "the legendary" County Revenge "has been sung so far". Many imitations of the Ming Dynasty were written by Feng Menglong himself, but there has been no textual research. Feng Menglong prefaced The Legend of Three Satisfaction, saying that "Yu Xiang wrote the novel Old Student, and ... cartoonist Wan Houshi regarded it as the legend of" Three Satisfaction ",thus knowing that the article" Three Gratitude for Old Pupils "was written by Feng Menglong. Other articles, such as Song Xiaoguan's reunion and broken felt hat, Yu Tangchun's misfortune, Tang Jieyuan's smiling marriage, Zhao's Cao Guzhuang's revival, Du Shiniang's angry treasure chest, Wang Jiaoluan's century-old hatred, etc. Some people think that this may be Feng Menglong's handwriting, which is based on Song's nine collections. After finishing by Feng Menglong, the 40 articles in Shi Jing Tong Yan are similar in style. As a collection of storytelling novels, although they are not related to each other by blood, and the generation times include Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, they still have similar characteristics after hundreds of years of development along a system. The excellent works in Warning Book describe the life of citizens and show their persecution and resistance struggle under the rule of feudal dark forces. There are also biographies of Zhou Guo, Flowers in a Mirror, Scholars, Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio and so on, which seem to be almost ten.
