The four Chinese classical novels

If you like to understand the four great classical novels in Chinese literature, just read these humorous quotations "流行調侃" I found on the web and verify them when you read the original texts:


1. 《紅樓夢》告訴我們：

凡是真心相愛的，最後都拆散了；
凡是胡亂勾搭的，最後都團圓了。

2. 《西遊記》告訴我們：

凡是有後臺的妖怪，都修成正果了；
凡是沒後臺的妖怪，都被猴子一棒子打死了。

3. 《水滸傳》告訴我們：

只走白道不行，只走黑道更不行，
行的都是走黑白兩道、官匪勾結的。

4. 《三國演義》告訴我們：

精兵強將只能一時輝煌，
兵多將廣才能得勝天下。

With the humor built into your reading, it will make understanding the novels an enjoyable exploration!

Notes to learners:

If you know some Chinese and have some foundation (Like a primary school students who can read some Chinese words), you will benefit a lot from this web site.

If you are beginner and illiterate in Chinese, you may find it hard to understand some of the translation in English as the English translation is very much machine based translation.

The translation may contains grammatical error and some misuse of words. Hence, English speaking learner will experience lot of frustration if they are not guided by some one who are well versed in Chinese.

I try some of the pages, and discover that most of the links with sound files cannot be access yet. It will take time for a lot of functions to be refined. Check it up in a month's time if you cannot open the file now. If you cannot wait for a while, just write to the webmaster for assistance!
