Stories Old and New
''Stories Old and New'', also known by its later name ''Stories to Enlighten the World'' (喻世明言), is a collection of short stories written by Feng Menglong during the Ming dynasty. It was published in Suzhou in 1620. It is considered to be pivotal in the development of Chinese vernacular fiction.〔''Stories Old and New''. University of Washington Press, 2012.〕
==Background==
Feng Menglong collected and slightly modified works from Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, such as changing characters’ names and locations to make stories more contemporary. The writing style of the series of stories is written vernacular, or ''baihua'', the everyday language of people at that time. The 40 stories are divided into 3 sections, one section collects Song and Yuan dynasty tales, one collects Ming dynasty stories, and the last is the stories created by Feng Menglong himself. The success of ''Stories Old and New'' published (1620), also known as ''Yushi Mingyan'' (''Illustrious Words to Instruct the World'') led Feng to edit and publish ''JIngshi Tongyan'' (''Stories to caution the World'') in 1624, and ''Xingshi Hengyan'' (''Stories to Awaken the World'') in 1627. Each collection contained forty stories. The title of each collection ended with the word "yan" (word), so they are often referred to as a group: Sanyan (). The stories in these three books are in a format called Huaben (话本), a novella or short novel.〔Shuhui Yang and Yunqin Yang, "Introduction," ''Stories Old and New: A Ming Dynasty Collection.''
