2. Overview: The book is divided into 92 categories according to the subject matter, divided into 150 details. Fairy stories account for the largest proportion, such as fairy 55 volumes, fairy 15 volumes, retribution 33 volumes, gods 25 volumes and ghosts 40 volumes, which shows the key points of drawing materials. This book is basically a classified collection of ancient novels. Many books that have been lost are only lost in this book, and some legendary works of the Tang Dynasty and strange tales of the Six Dynasties are also circulated because of this book. The most important thing in the book is miscellaneous biography? 9 volumes, Li Wa Biography, Liu Biography, Wu Shuang Biography, Huo Xiaoyu Biography, Yingying Biography and other legendary masterpieces, most of which only exist 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 collection of Taiping Guangji is very wide, and almost all the books with small space are included. Lost books can be compiled according to them, and books with biographies can also be proofread according to their different languages. The quotations in the book are relatively complete, unlike those in other books which are abridged. Fine classification, but also convenient to find information by subject matter, which is of great value to the collation and research of ancient novels. Mr. Lu Xun once pointed out: "I think Taiping Guangji has two advantages. First, it covers almost all novels from the Six Dynasties to the early Song Dynasty. After a cursory study, you don't need to buy many books. Second, ghosts, ghosts, monks and Taoism are distinct, and gathering together can make us very tired. For the descendants of the fox's Taiping Guangji, there is no courage to read it. " He compiled ancient novels and legends of Tang and Song Dynasties, and also made full use of this book. ?

3. After reading it, I feel that the classification of Taiping Guangji 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 editor of Tai Ping Guang Ji put immortals and Taoism before different monks and explanations, which obviously means respecting the religious culture of the nation. As a novel, stories that preach the efficacy of Buddhism and karma can tempt some readers, but their artistry is not as good as fairy tales. In the novels of the Tang Dynasty, it is often said that fairies came down to earth, and there are many magical changes, which are even more dazzling. Of course, all fairy and ghost stories are products of fantasy, and propaganda with negative religious superstitions generally needs to be treated critically. ?

The representative works of novels in the Tang Dynasty, such as Liu Chuan, Yingying Chuan and Li Wa Chuan, should also describe the real life of the world best, and there is no supernatural element at all. The writing method is closer to the road of realism. ? China's novels matured in the Tang Dynasty. Most of the novels in the Tang Dynasty are collected in Tai Ping Guang Ji, but the collections of novels in the Tang Dynasty compiled in Ming and Qing Dynasties are often fake books with a new look, so Lu Xun instructed readers to read Tai Ping Guang Ji. Of course, the collection of Taiping Guangji is not only the works of the Tang Dynasty, but also many works of the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties. Among them, most of the single stories of Tang legends have been included in new anthologies, such as Legend of Tang and Song compiled by Lu Xun and Novels of Tang People compiled by Wang Bijiang, which are relatively easy to read. However, many lost novels rarely have carefully arranged versions. If you want to know the whole picture of China's ancient novels before the Song Dynasty, you can only read through Taiping Guangji. ? "Tai Ping Guang Ji" had a far-reaching influence on later literature and art. After the Song Dynasty, editors of scripts, quyi and dramas all chose the material of "Tai Ping Guang Ji" and adapted many famous stories. For example, The Story of the West Chamber tells the story of Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying, with various scripts. This story is almost a household name, but little is known about Yingying Biography, the earliest preserved material of Taiping Guangji. ? Tai Ping Guang Ji is a treasure of China's ancient novels and is worth reading. But after all, it is an ancient work, and there are many text obstacles, so it is not convenient to recommend it to readers. Now, Gao Guang, Wang Xiaoke, Wang Yang and other comrades have vowed to clear away obstacles and build bridges for the younger generation of readers. They have spent a lot of time translating the whole book into modern Chinese, which is a very meaningful work.
