Arabian Nights is a famous collection of ancient Arab folk stories, with 243 stories (including 134 big stories). Contrary to our understanding, there are more than 1000 stories. It is called Arabian Nights because according to their language habits, one is added after one hundred or one thousand to emphasize its richness. Secondly, the story of "Arabian Nights" comes from the beginning of this collection, saying that there was a cruel king who married a girl every night and killed her the next day, until the king met the clever Scheherazade. He told a story every night by telling a story, but didn't say the ending. In this way, the king had to give up killing her in order to listen to the story, so he persisted in "One Thousand and One Nights" and finally influenced the king.

Arabian Nights has a unique title in China, called Arabian Nights. "Arabia" is China's ancient name for Arabia, and the name alone is enough to bring people to the mysterious exotic world. This is one of the most important, prestigious, widely read and influential works in the world. At the same time, as a simple folk literature, it can rank among the world's classic works and is also a great miracle in the history of world literature. At the same time, this book is also a recommended bibliography, which is deeply loved by students and readers.

Arabian Nights is widely read in China. Famous stories include Aladdin and the magic lamp, Alibaba and the forty thieves, Sinbad the navigator and so on. The Arabian Nights is mostly a story of persuading good and punishing evil, and also a story of persuading people to be honest.

For example, "Hasheb and the Queen Snake" tells that after Hasheb met a snake by chance, the queen snake gave him a lot of jewels, but made him promise not to reveal her whereabouts. Hashib promised her and finally returned to her hometown. But he couldn't stand the carrot and stick of others, and finally broke his word and told the king the whereabouts of the queen snake. The king was finally punished after taking people to see the snake. This story is somewhat similar to the well-known folk story "Nine Colors Deer", and it is also a story to persuade people to speak honestly.

People can't stand without faith. -Confucius
