章節(jié)摘錄

　　The short stories in this volume are some of the most famous Chinese talesever told. They comprise some of the best——though not all of the best are here.The selection and retelling of these stories for Western readers impose a nec-essary limitation. Many famous stories have been omitted, either on accountof theme, matter, or basic assumptions of a different society or period, whichmake the retelling an impossible or unprofitable undertaking. I have selectedthose which I believe have a most nearly universal appeal, and which answermore to the purpose of a modern short story.　　The purpose of a short story is, I believe, that the reader shall come awaywith the satisfactory feeling that a particular insight into human character hasbeen gained, or that his knowledge of life has been deepened, or that pity, love,or sympathy for a human being has been awakened. Nothing in the readersbasic assumptions should stand in the way, requiring elaborate explanation,in order that this desired effect may be achieved. I have chosen stories whichpresent no such difficulties and which make the achievement of this effect easyor possible, although I recognize that some of these stories will appeal to thereader because of the strangeness and exotic charm of a remote atmosphereand background.　　The instinct to listen to a good story is as old as humanity itself. Tales havebeen told in China since history began. The Tsochuan （probably 3rd centuryB.C.） and certain chapters of Shiki （2nd century B.C.） abound in vivid descrip-tions of human character and immediate scenes of human conflicts.
