This poem first appeared in Volume XIII of Yu Shiming by Feng Ming Menglong, Seven Examinations of Zhao Sheng by Zhang Daoling, and then in Volume XXI of Shi Jing Tongyan by Feng Ming Menglong and Biejingniang by Zhao Taizu. Later, it was seen in Volume 15 of "Two Moments of Surprise" written by Ling Mengchu in the Ming Dynasty: an assistant minister and a maid in Korea were married, caring about the body and living in the lang department.
Creative background:
Among the three words, the earliest book was written, the book of Tong Yan was written in 1624 (the fourth year of Ming Taizu), the book of Xing Yan was written in 1627 (the seventh year of Ming Taizu), and the book of Shi Yu Yan Ming was written in 1620 (the Ming Dynasty).
Although these three anthologies were not carved at the same time, their creation and compilation were planned. On the title page of ancient and modern novels, there are three lines of Xu Zhai's inscription. China said: "I buy 120 kinds of ancient and modern celebrity romances in this house, and one third is the first moment cloud." Before the catalogue of this book, it was also titled "A Moment of Ancient and Modern Novels".
This not only shows that there will be two or three moments after this "first moment" or "a certain moment", but also makes readers understand that the word "ancient and modern novels" was originally a generic term drawn up by several popular novels compiled by editors. However, when The Moment of Ancient and Modern Novels was supplemented and reprinted, its title was changed to Yu's Ming Yan; By the time the book was officially published in the second and third quarters, they also had their own names: Warning the World and Awakening the World.
In this way, for later readers, "ancient and modern novels" is no different from another name of "Yu Ming Yan". From the literal meaning of the three words, it is not difficult to see that Feng Menglong's editing work has strict standards and its social benefits are also very obvious, which are called "Yu's Famous Words", "Shi Jing" and "Xing Yan" respectively.
