About this eBook

Author Tianhuazangzhuren
Title 平山冷燕
Alternate Title Ping Shan Leng Yan
Summary "平山冷燕" by Tianhuazangzhuren is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in an era of relative peace and prosperity, focusing on the life of a gifted ten-year-old girl named 山黛 (Shan Dai), who captures the Emperor's attention with her poetic talents. The story reflects themes of talent, societal expectations, and the interplay between individuals and authority. The opening of the narrative introduces a time of great cultural flourishing under a benevolent emperor, where courtiers gather to celebrate and express their loyalty. Among the notable events is the emperor's delightful response to an omen in the heavens, signaling the birth of extraordinary talents in the realm. When the Emperor requests new poetry in response to the earlier commendations, a stir arises as 山黛’s unexpected poem wins him over, leading to her royal recognition. The scene is rich with cultural imagery and sets the stage for the socio-political dynamics that follow, particularly as 山黛's talents lead her family into the spotlight amid rising tensions surrounding her status.
