Slapping the Table in Amazement is the unabridged English
translation of the famous story collection Pai'an jingqi by Ling
Mengchu (1580-1644), originally published in 1628. The forty lively
stories gathered here present a broad picture of traditional
Chinese society and include characters from all social levels. We
learn of their joys and sorrows, their views about life and death,
and their visions of the underworld and the supernatural. Ling was
a connoisseur of popular literature and a seminal figure in the
development of Chinese literature in the vernacular, which paved
the way for the late-imperial Chinese novel. Slapping the Table in
Amazement includes translations of verse and prologue stories as
well as marginal and interlinear comments.
