Title 燕子箋
Alternate Title Yan zi jian
Summary "燕子箋" by Dacheng Ruan is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the lives and romantic entanglements of talented scholars and beautiful women during the Tang dynasty, exploring themes of love, aspiration, and societal expectations. The main character, 霍都梁 (Huo Duliang), is portrayed as an ambitious and artistic young man on a quest for both personal achievement and romance. The opening of "燕子箋" introduces us to 霍都梁, a gifted scholar who is contemplating his solitary life as he prepares to take part in an important examination. Expressing his feelings of loneliness and longing for a more meaningful existence, he reflects on his friendships and encounters with beautiful women, particularly a figure named 行雲 (Xingyun), who captivates him. The narrative sets the stage for the significant connections and romantic adventures that are likely to unfold, particularly as 霍都梁 navigates both academic aspirations and the intricate dynamics of love and relationships against the backdrop of a turbulent historical period.
