Summary "風月鑒" by Yitang Wu is a novel believed to be written during the late Qing dynasty. The story seems to delve into themes of love, identity, and social status, reflecting the complexities of life during its time. The main character, 嫣娘 (Yan Niang), is introduced early on, depicting her as a spirited and intelligent young woman with a penchant for trouble and a desire for a deeper understanding of her world. The opening of the novel establishes Yan Niang's background and the societal context in which she lives. It describes her privileged upbringing and her family's wealth, particularly focusing on her father, 常興 (Chang XIng), who has high expectations for her education. After a brief exploration of her childhood and her engaging personality, the narrative transitions into Yan Niang's aspirations as she prepares for exams to further her academic journey, thereby intertwining her quest for personal fulfillment with the pressures of societal expectations. The chapter sets the tone for a story that promises humor, emotion, and commentary on the struggles faced by women in a patriarchal society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
