505 0 $aTRANSLATOR'S INTRODUCTION -- AUTHOR'S PREFACE -- The land does not hold back the water; every year comes disaster; The wind beats up the waves; everywhere is danger -- At the foot of Mount Li the traces of an ancient emperor; By the side of Lake Ming the song of a beautiful girl -- From Golden Thread eastward seeking Black Tiger; A cloth sail goes west in search of Gray Falcon -- A Governor who loves ability and whose search for scholars is like thirst; A Magistrate who suppresses bandits and hates wrongdoers as though they were foemen -- A devoted wife determines to die faithful; A village-dweller unexpectedly meets disaster -- Blood of ten thousand families stains an official button scarlet; A conversational dinner; dispute over a white fox gown -- "Borrowed chopsticks" for planning the control of a hsien; In search of the Na Ying in a treasure house of books -- Encounter with a tiger by moonlight in Peach Blossom Mountain; Search for a sage through snow in Cypress Tree Valley -- A guest chants poems, hands behind back, facing a wall; Three people sip tea, knee to knee, in intimate talk -- A pair of black dragon's pearls shine on lute and zither; A single rhinoceros horn blends with an ancient harp -- A plague rat carrying calamity becomes a panic-making horse; A mad dog spreading disaster develops into a poisonous dragon -- Winter wind freezes over Yellow River water; Warm air inspires "White Snow Song." -- Bright lamplight and a girl's sad story; Vicious Yellow River water and a taot'ai's ingenious plan -- The inhabitants of a hsien float like frogs on the face of the water; Small boats like ants distribute steamed bread -- Fierce flame by its noise startles the two Ts'uis; Severe punishment without measure oppresses a defenseless widow -- Six thousand gold pieces buy the lingering death; A letter drives away the star of mourning -- At the sound of an "iron cannon" torture is relaxed; Three airs on an inn lute-"jade bracelet reward." -- Prefect Pai talks and laughs and rights a strange injustice; Mr. T'ieh through wind and frost begins an investigation -- Once again the string of bells is rung in Ch'itungts'un; With great skill a golden snare is set in Tsinanfu -- A wastrel's gold and silver is the axe to cut off his life; A Taoist through ice and snow seeks a quickening herb.
520 $aA thinly disguised social satire, follows Lao Ts'an as he journeys around China trying to correct the attitude toward women and the social injustice that he sees, and to engage in philosophical discussions about China's future. The novel, a social satire[2] that showed the limits of the old elite and officialdom, was an immediate success. The novel serves as an in-depth look into the everyday lives of "peasantry" in the late Qing period. (Wikipedia, viewed 02/22/2016).
