註釋In The romance of the western bower, Zhang Junri, a scholar of the Tang Dynasty, visits the Salvation Monastery where he meets and falls in love with the famed beauty Oriole, daughter of the late Prime Minister Cui. Oriole and her mother are hiding at the monastery from the bandit Sun the Flying Tiger, but soon he surrounds the monestary and demands Oriole's hand in marriage. In Zhao the orphan, Zhao Dun, prime minster of that state of Jin, tries to reign-in the dissolute ways of his sovereign, Duke Ling. His efforts are thwarted by the eveil counselor Tu'an Gu who encourages the Duke's wanton behavior in order to usurp his power. In Snow in summer, Dou E, a dutiful and principled girl is raised by the weak-minded Madam Cai, who takes the destitute girl as a wife for her sickly son.
