Putting emphasis on “legend novel series” of the Ming Dynasty

Since the “legend novel series” appeared in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, they were flouring throughout the whole dynasty for more than 200 years, producing great influence not only on drama and fiction of the Ming Dynasty, but on classical Chinese novels in the following dynasties at home as well as abroad. Since there is not sufficient study of this issue, the publication of Qiao Guanghui’s treatise is a good beginning for academic research in this field.
