Recently I read, Ready Player One and it caused me to remember my favorite video games, most of which were mentioned in the book. One game that was not mentioned, but was one of my favorites, was a game called Bandits Kings of Ancient China. It was an incredibly complex game where you had to control a number of the 108 (bandits, demons and hero's) of the book. They all build individual armies, and, as you become their leader you actually control their armies both in war and building, crops,You must love to read and love to practice chinese martial arts to get into these books. They are brilliant and also hard to follow. But do give it a try if you have the time to read.
As one of the 4 Great Classics of Chinese Literature, it is clear how The Water Margin has earned a special, though cautious, place in the Chinese tradition. It is a tale of lawlessness and honour among thieves, and runs contrary to the Chinese tradition of law, order and stability.Upon reading this, I was initially curious as to how this was an influence on Mao Zedong, but it becomes clear that the influence was primarily on his period before power, rather than in power. The story of the
水浒传, translated into English as Water Margin, is considered to be one of the Four Great Novels of Chinese literature. It is, along with Dream of the Red Chamber, also one of the two that I know very little about (although I now know a bit more about Dream of the Red Chamber thanks to Hanfu Girls series of posts on it). Its quite a feat of ignorance on my part, considering the impact that Water Margin had not just on China, but also on Japan.I suppose its reputation has always put me off but the
"The earliest components of the Water Margin (in manuscript copies) were from the late 14th century. The earliest extant complete printed edition of Water Margin is a 100-chapter book dating from the late-16th century in 1589.[15] Another edition, with 120 chapters by Yang Dingjian (楊定見), has been preserved from the reign of the Wanli Emperor (15731620) in the Ming dynasty. Yet other editions were published since this era to the earlyQing dynasty , including a 70-chapter edition by Jin
Well....that was a disaster. I've been trying to read more Asian classics, so when I saw that this one was translated by Pearl S Buck, who happens to be my favourite author, I was thrilled. Than I read the book and I wasn't so thrilled. Let me count the ways.This has to be the most repetitive book I've ever read. The pattern went like this: honor killing. massacre of innocent people. exile. encounter with a good, kind, merciful cannibal. And once you've finished that part of the cycle, it would
I have long wanted to reread this established classic. The most complete edition I could find in print was the Chinese Classics 4-volume Edition from Foreign Language Press, weighing in at a slim 2,149 pages. Nonetheless, I would call this an un-put-downable page-turner. One of the original Proto-Wuxia novels from Ancient China, which was rich in both history and literary mystique.Far superior, in my opinion to the other lengthy "Great Works" of Classical Chinese, namely The Story of the Stone
