Summary "春柳鶯" by Nanbeiheguanshizhe is a novel likely written in the late 17th century. This work appears to delve into themes of love, talent, and social status, featuring characters exploring the intersections of poetic expression and romantic pursuits. The main character, 石生 (Shi Sheng), who is an accomplished poet, embarks on a journey to find a talented and beautiful woman whom he learned of through poetry. The opening of the novel introduces Shi Sheng, a widower of fifty who, after the death of his wife and only child, is encouraged to marry again. He dreams of a child who possesses great talent, which leads him to name his son "液" (Ye), envisioning a bright future filled with literary promise. As Shi Sheng immerses himself in the world of poetry and friendships, he experiences both joy and sorrow. He longs to meet talented women, engaging in poetic exchanges with friends and setting out on an adventure driven by the hope of finding a true match for companionship.
