Book Introduction:  The prosperity of publishing industry brought great changes to the creation and dissemination of novels in the Ming Dynasty. The involvement of publishing houses and publishers made the novel works show obvious commercial characteristics. The readers’ demands partly determined the theme selection and creative tendency of novels.
With the ideas of paying equal attention to literatures and theories, and from the unique perspective of publishing culture in novels, this book attempts to expound the close relationship between Ming Dynasty publishing houses and the sources, editors, advertisements, distribution of novel manuscripts, illustrations, systems, anthologies, schools and comments of novels, to explore the relationship between readers and Ming Dynasty novel publishing, and to examine the real development and evolution of Ming Dynasty novels and the rules it follows.
The book has widened the research horizon of ancient Chinese novels with an extraordinary idea, which makes up for the weak link in this field of academic research. It has enriched the contents of the Chinese novels and literature history, and also provided some supplements and references for the creation and publication of today's novels, which builds a good academic value and innovative significance.
