China's earliest novels
China's earliest collection of ancient strange stories. Eastern Jin Gan Bao (? ~ 336) compilation. Gan Bao was born in Xincai (now Henan). Historians in the early Eastern Jin Dynasty. He once led the history of the country as a writer and wrote Jin Ji, which has been lost. The Book of Jin, The Biography of Gambao, said that he had some feelings about life and death. "So he wrote a collection of changes in ancient and modern miraculous characters, called Searching for the Gods." The search for God has been lost. This book was compiled and acquired by later generations. Twenty volumes. * * * There are 454 stories. Most of the records are strange things of immortals, and some of them belong to folklore. Among them, Li Ji and his wife, Han Ping, the daughter of the prince of Wu, and so on. Exposing the cruelty of the ruling class and praising the struggle of the rebels are often quoted by later generations. Most stories are short in length, simple in plot, fantastic in imagination and full of romanticism. Later, Tao Qian's Epilogue of Searching for God and Binwen Zhang's Search for Mystery, both of which have a volume of 10, are imitations of Searching for God. Searching for the Gods has a far-reaching influence on later generations, such as The Story of the Tang Dynasty, Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio by Pu Songling, Fairy Tales, and many later novels and operas, all of which are closely related to it.
