Overview
This book presents a detailed and authentic account of the life of Ling Mengchu, the writer who produced the greatest number of classical Chinese vernacular short stories in ancient China. It traces his life through the context of his era, his family's cultural heritage, his personal experiences, social interactions, intellectual development, and cultural contributions. The book depicts the process by which he created China's first collection of vernacular short stories, Slapping the Table in Amazement (Pai'an Jingqi), and the subsequent birth of Second Collection of Slapping the Table in Amazement (Erke Pai'an Jingqi) after the first gained popularity, offering readers a distinctive perspective on these two classic collections. Arguably, this is one of the few comprehensive biographies of Ling Mengchu in China, possessing significant academic value. This edition is a revised version based on the 2021 edition, incorporating the author's research over the past decade on Ling Mengchu and his family, as well as findings from the broader academic community. Substantial revisions have been made in areas such as Ling Mengchu's and his family's publishing activities, social networks, and the editions of the "Two Pai'an" collections. The biography's annotations and references have also been updated or supplemented accordingly. 本书详细真实地记载了我国古代创作白话短篇小说最多的作家凌濛初的一生,从他生活的时代环境、家族文化传承、生平经历、社会交往、思想发展、文化贡献等方面娓娓道来,描写了他创作我国第一部白话短篇小说集《拍案惊奇》的过程,以及该书走红后《二刻拍案惊奇》的诞生,让读者对这两部小说集有了别样的认识。可以说,本书是国内少有的全面描写凌濛初一生的传记,具有重要的学术价值。本书在2021年版的基础上做了进一步修订,主要结合这十余年来作者对凌濛初及其家族研究的新成果,以及学界的一些研究成果,在凌濛初及其家族的刻书、交游以及"两拍"版本等方面都作了较大修订,传记的注释、参考文献等也作了修改或补充。
