A journey to the west The Outlaws of the Marsh A Dream of Red Mansions. The Three Kingdoms

Chinese Literature - Novels and fictionHongloumeng 红楼梦"The Dream of the Red Chamber"Also called "The story of the Stone (Shitouji 石头记)", this novel written by Cao Xueqin 曹雪芹 (d. 1763) is said to be the greatest masterpiece of Chinese fiction. A wide branched scholarship does not consent about the main theme of this novel, should it be a novel of sentiment, of Daoist-Buddhist enlightenment, of social observation, of the decay of an aristocratic familiy, or even a veiled attack on Manchu rule. The frame of the novel is the contest of a Buddhist and a Daoist priest who make be born a young noble boy called Jia Baoyu 贾宝玉 and his girl cousin Lin Daiyu 林黛玉. With a loving detail describing the life of the two cousins in a huge noble mansion, between gardens and palaces, the red thread is the triangular love between Baoyu, Daiyu and a second girl cousin called Xue Baochai 薛宝钗 that is of more plumper character than the ever sick Daiyu. Switching between their life, the divine world and dreams, Baoyu becomes deranged after the disappearance of a stone (the origin of the second title) he had in his mouth when he was born. Not knowing, his love Daiyu died, he is tricked to marrying Baochai. Becoming aware of being tricked, Baoyu leaves the world of the "red dust" and becomes a monk. With hundreds of persons and their stories, paralleling the life and feelings of servants to the life of the main persons, the story is very complex and full of symbolisms, but very interesting and convincing for its encyclopedic character, depicting the life of a noble familiy in the 18th century Qing China 清. 三国演义Romance of The Three KingdomsRomance of The Three Kingdoms is one of the great chinese classics and is compiled into a semi-fictional literary masterpiece during the Ming Dynasty by Luo Guanzhong. The novel comprises around 70+% fact and 20+% fiction. Some issues such as Guan Yu's weapon weighing around 40+ kilograms, the capabilties of Lu Bu, Liu Bei's horses as well as the existence of the Hill of the Fallen Phoenix and some others are probably fictional. That period in history can be said as the golden age of chivalry and although it happened more than 1700 years ago, characters such as Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang have become household names among the chinese. Tales of their exploits, courage, adventures and many more are told in the novel "Romance of The Three Kingdoms". It is one of the most turbulent periods in China's history taking place toward the end of the Han Dynasty where corruption is rampant in the imperial court due to eunuches holding power. Coupled with natural disasters such as floods, plague and locust swarms devouring the crops grown by the peasants, hunger and disatisfaction among the peasants soon escalated rapidly until a major rebellion known as the "Yellow Scarves Rebellion" led by Zhang Jiao broke out. (It was dubbed "Yellow Scarves" because the rebels tied a yellow scarf on their head). Initially just a small band of rebels, due to widespread hunger and ill-sentiment among the populace, swarms of common folks joined in the rebellion across many parts of the country. 三国演义人物介绍刘备 Liu Bei (161–223 AD), styled Xuándé (玄徳), was a general, warlord, and later the founding emperor of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms era of China. Although having a later start than his rivals, also lacking both the material resources and social status they commanded, Liu Bei overcame his many defeats to carve out his own realm, that at its peak spanned modern day Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan, part of Hubei, and part of Gansu. Culturally, due to the tremendously popular novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong, Liu Bei is widely known as the ideal benevolent, humane ruler who cared for his people and picked good advisors. His character was to advocate the Confucian set of moral values, such as loyalty and compassion. 张飞 Zhang Fei (?-221 AD) was a military general of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms era of China. Zhang Fei was shown to have been a masterful general rather than simply a warrior. He treated his superiors with respect, but had little respect for his underlings. He was often warned by Liu Bei that his habit of over-punishing his own soldiers by lashing and killing would eventually bring himself disaster. Zhang Fei married Xiahou Yuan's daughter, who was captured by Zhang Fei's troops as she was out gathering firewood. They had a total of two daughters, and the older daughter became the empress of Shu Han after marrying Liu Shan, with Zhuge Liang as the matchmaker. After Zhang Fei's eldest daughter had passed away due to natural causes, Zhuge Liang once again played the role of matchmaker, and Liu Shan married Zhang Fei's younger daughter, who thus succeeded her older sister to become the empress of Shu Han. Zhang Fei is best portrayed through his description and actions depicted in Records of Three Kingdoms biography by Chen Shou. Some claim that Zhang Fei was also an excellent painter. Zhang Fei was killed by his own men Zhang Da and Fan Jiang, while preparing his troops to attack the rival Eastern Wu to avenge the death of Guan Yu. Zhang Da and Fan Jiang went on to defect to Wu.水浒传Outlaws of the MarshThe novel "Outlaws of the Marsh" is somewhat like the Iliad and Odyssey... An ancient epic tale... no one remembers the period it was composed and immortalized.One knows this story is based on real facts and has inspired many storytellers.One knows the North Song Dynasty (XIIIth Century) lived its apogee and declined, a victim of corruption and decadence.One finds historical traces of these outlaws who challenged the imperial authority and died under the executioner's blade.At last, as anyone knows today that a man called Homer wrote the Iliad and Odyssey, no one doubts anymore that a man called Shi Nai-an wrote down during the XIVth century the novel Outlaws of the Marsh that reached us.Everyone recognizes that Jin Sheng-tan, during the XVIIth century, published what is now famous as the original version of a novel that obtained the interest and infatuation of successive generations. Water Margin or Outlaws of the Marsh ("All men are brothers" in Pearl Buck's translation, "Shui hu zhuan" in Chinese, "Au Bord de l'Eau" in French ) is an immortal novel because its tale is universal : it speaks of beings (outlaws but also notables, strong muscled heroes but also intellectual, anarchists but also philosophers...) who cannot bear injustice nor abuse nor arbitrariness...That is the reason they are immortal and their popularity has lasted for centuries .Discover the 108 heroes, the episodes , the paper-cuts representing them, the Beijing operas their fighting exploits inspired...人物Gai Ping Health gave special love make the world anyway, famous arena. Like charges to stick, chicken, and did not take wives, all hit others physique. Village Creek Village haunted legends, villagers digging a river in the town engraved art, ghost was rushed to the East seven. Classical hell, then alone will be engraved Creek Village in places away from the East side down. Thus so-called "Tota kings". 晁盖平 生仗义疏财，专爱结交天下好汉，闻名江湖。喜欢刺枪使棒，身强力壮，不取妻室，终日打熬筋骨。传说邻村西溪村闹鬼，村人凿了一个青石宝塔镇在溪边，鬼就被赶到了东溪村。晁盖大怒，就去西溪村独自将青石宝塔夺了过来在东溪边放下。因此人称“托塔天王”。西游记Pilgrimage to the WestJourney to the West is a mythological novel based on many centuries of popular tradition. It was probably put into its present form in the 15708 by Wu Cheng’en (1500-82). This lively fantasy relates the amazing adventures of the priest San-zang as he travels west in search of Buddhist sutras with his three disciples, the irreverent and capable on-key, greedy Pig, and Friar Sand. The opening chapters recount the earlier exploits of Monkey, culminating in his rebellion against Heaven. We then learn how Sanzang became a monk and was sent on his pilgrimage by the Tang emperor who had escaped death with the help of an Underworld official. The main story, the journey, takes the priest through all kinds of entertaining trials and tribulations, mainly at the hands of monsters and spirits who want to eat him. Only the courage and powers of his disciples, especially Monkey, save him from death. Monkey is the hero of the fantasy, and the reader will soon learn why he has long been so loved in China. Will the pilgrims reach the Vulture Peak and obtain the Scriptures? The answer will only be found at the end of the lOO-chapter novel. The story is as full of imagination as Monkey is of magic, and packed with incident and down-to-earth humour. The illustrations are from 19th-century Chinese edition. This is the first of the three volumes of the novel

一 《西游记》（Monkey）被翻译成了多种语言，译名也有多种：《圣僧的天国之行》、《一个佛教徒的天国历程》、《猴》、《猴王》、《猴与诸神魔历险记》。在其他国家，最早关于唐僧取经故事是明代前期的朝鲜文译本，不过那是取经故事，与《西游记》不完全是一回事。《西游记》最早的正式译本是18世纪中叶的日文译本。（1）《猴》 ：关于中国古典小说方面的译著，以亚瑟·戴维·韦利（Arthur David Waley，英国，1889—1966）的《猴》（《西游记》）最为著名。由于《猴》之译笔生动活泼，使《西游记》这部古典名著在西方尽人皆知。韦利译为《猴》（Monkey）的《西游记》节译本，1942年由伦敦乔治艾伦与昂温出版有限公司出版，后多次再版，并被转译成西班牙文、德文、瑞典文、比利时文、法文、意大利文、斯里兰卡文等，在欧美产生广泛的影响。书前附有胡适《西游记考证》一文。虽是节译本，但译文能传达原著的风格，在西方被认为是高水平的。欧美一些重要的百科全书，在评介《西游记》时都是以韦利的译本为依据的。如《英国大百科全书》写道：“十六世纪中国作家吴承恩的作品《西游记》，即众所周知的被译为《猴》的这部书，是中国一部最珍贵的神奇小说。”《美国大百科全书》写道：“在十六世纪中国出现的描写僧人取经故事的《西游记》，被译为《猴》，是一部具有丰富内容和光辉思想的神话小说。”（2）新的日文译本：岩波文库版《西游记》以明代《李卓吾批评本》为蓝本，共分10卷，每卷10回。该版本最初的译者是曾经翻译《金瓶梅》的日本著名翻译家小野忍。1983年小野忍去世 之后，中野美代子承接了从第4卷开始的翻译工作，并于1998年译出了4至10卷的初稿。此后，中野美代子对全书的风格、文字进行了统一、润色。还重新翻译了1至3卷，以更好地体现《西游记》原著的全貌。二 《三国演义》 The Romance of Three Kingdoms三 《水浒传》的日文译本最早在18世纪就出现，影响较大，很多著名画家都曾为其画过插图，如葛饰北斋、歌川国芳等，19世纪开始传入欧美，最早的德文译名是《强盗与士兵》，法文译名是《中国的勇士们》。英文译本有多种，最早的70回译本定名为《Water Margin》（“水边”的意思），由于出现最早和最贴近原名的原因这个译名往往被认为是标准译名，美国女作家赛珍珠在将它翻译成英文时就定名为：《All Men Are Brothers》（即《四海之内皆兄弟》），70年代末中国籍美国翻译家沙博理的百回本的名字是《Outlaws of the Marsh》（水泊好汉），后来还有人把120回本也译成英文。而据传，还有某外国版本叫《一百零五个男人和三个女人的故事》。四 “红楼梦”在汉英词典中的解释(来源：百度词典)：1. a Dream in Red Mansions; the Story of the Stone (one of the four most famous Chinese classical literature works)
