| Summary | "鏡花緣" by Ruzhen Li is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative delves into themes of feminine virtue and spirituality, featuring celestial beings such as fairy maidens and goddesses who navigate moral and social duties in their fantastical realm. At the start of the story, a philosophical introduction sets the tone by referencing the necessary virtues of women as espoused by historical texts. The plot unfolds in a mythical landscape where four fairy sisters, headed by the 百花仙子 (Hundred Flowers Fairy), prepare to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West. As they travel amidst the heavenly realms, they marvel at celestial signs and the appearances of divine entities, foreshadowing significant events to come. The dialogue among the fairies hints at deeper themes of duty and temporal power as they engage in discussions about rituals and the consequences of their actions on the mortal realm.
