Synopsis
Excerpt from The Chinese Repository, Vol. 7: October, 1838
This work very much resembles the romances of the middle ages, with this difference, however, that the'chinese author means to tell sober truth. The facts are historical, and told in the manner in which that age viewed them. Superstition seems to have been at the acme of its power, and it is very natural that an unsuccessful general availed himself of the common belief, to cover his faults. Priestcraft was in its vigor, and the barbarians no doubt sincerely believed these unhallowed mountebanks, whilst they perceived how successful they had proved against their enemies. Thus all parties united in upholding a senseless maze oferror, and what was first the offspring of fantasy became finally a popular creed.
