人民文学出版社在成立之初即致力于中国古典小说的整理与出版,半个多世纪以来陆续出版了几乎所有重要的中国古典小说作品。这些作品的整理者,均为古典文学研究名家,如聂绀弩、张友鸾、张友鹤、张慧剑、黄肃秋、顾学颉、陈迩冬、戴鸿森、启功、冯其庸、袁世硕、朱其铠、李伯齐等,他们精心的校勘、标点、注释使这些读本成为影响几代读者的经典。“中国古典小说藏本(精装插图本)”丛书将这些优秀的经典之作集结在一起,再次进行全面细致的修订和编校,以期更加完善;所选插图为名家绘画或精美绣像,如孙温绘《红楼梦》、孙继芳绘《镜花缘》、程十髮绘《儒林外史》等,以丰富读者的阅读体验。




《东周列国志》叙述春秋战国五百年间的历史故事。它将分散的历史故事、人物传记,按照时间的先后串联起来,熔铸成一部结构完整的历史演义。全书108回,前83回写春秋五霸,后25回写战国七雄。小说叙写周幽王残暴无道,引起西戎之乱。周平王东迁洛邑,从此周王室逐渐衰弱,诸侯国互相兼并,互相争霸。在诸侯国内部,大夫的势力也越来越大,他们之间也互相兼并,致使有的诸侯国为大夫所瓜分。

接着出现了七雄并峙的局面,各国征战不断。其间谋臣摇唇鼓舌,武将东征西讨,天下多事。最终秦王嬴政灭六国,一统天下。其中包括许多历史故事,如:烽火戏诸侯、曹刿论战、弦高退敌、赵氏孤儿、二桃杀三士、伍子胥过昭关、勾践复国、商鞅变法、西门豹治邺、孙庞斗法、苏秦合纵相六国、屈原投汨罗江、田单复国等。

本书以清蔡元放修订评点本为底本,细致校以明冯梦龙刊本,纠正讹误,注释古代地名、职官、名物、年代、典章制度以及风俗习惯,编有人物的异名、官职以及亲属关系的人名索引对照表。是《东周列国志》极为完善的读本。

About the author

冯梦龙 Feng Menglong

237 books20 followers
Feng Menglong (1574–1646) was a Chinese vernacular writer and poet of the late Ming Dynasty.

Most of his literary work was in editing and compiling histories, almanacs and novels. Two of his noteworthy novels are Qing Shi and the shenmo work Pingyao Zhuan. In 1620 he published the Illustrious Words to Instruct the World (喻世明言 Yushi Mingyan), or Stories Old and New.

Feng was a proponent of the school of Li Zhi, which supported the importance of human feelings and behavior in literature. He is frequently associated with Ling Mengchu, author of Slapping the Table in Amazement.

Feng Menglong was in love with a famous prostitute when he was young. Unfortunately, Feng Menglong was not able to afford to redeem his lover out. At the end, his lover was redeemed by a merchant, and they had to leave each other. Feng Menglong suffered from pain and desperation due to the separation, and he expressed his sorrow through poems. This experience influenced the way he portrayed female characters in his stories. In fact, Feng Menglong was one of the few authors who portrayed female as being strong and intelligent; and this is different from other authors, where they tended to ignore the importance of female’s position. The female characters in Feng Menglong’s stories were portrayed as brave and bright when dealing with different situations. For instance, in his story Wan Xiuniang Takes Revenge Through Toy Pavilions from Jing Shi Tong Yan, Wan Xiuniang showed her braveness during her tough times, and she was able to escape using her intelligence. Other female characters, such as Miss Du Shi Niang and Qu Xiuxiu, are example to show Feng Menglong’s respect to female.

Feng Menglong expressed his attitudes towards the society through his works, and the reason was tightly related to his experience during his career. Feng Menglong became a local officer in Shouning in his sixties. He pursued justice and wished to build up his reputation by acting as an honest and upright official. Unfortunately, he was born in a time of corruption; bribery and extortion were common bureaucratic behaviors, and they opposed the principle of Feng Menglong. Realizing that atmosphere of corruption could not be easily changed, Feng Menglong conveyed his discontent and patriotism through words. Each character of his stories has strong and direct characteristics: there is a clear morality line drawn between “good” and “bad”. Moreover, the meaning behind the stories explores the social issues during Ming Dynasty. For instance, the story The White Maiden Locked for Eternity in Leifeng Pagoda and The Young Lady Gives the Young Man a Gift of Money from Jing Shi Tong Yan express the idea of how women pursue their freedom and happiness under a feudal society.
