2. The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties is a novel by Chu people in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, which has the dual nature of heroic legend and historical romance. It has 20 volumes 100 chapters.

The overall structure of the book takes history as the classics, personnel as the latitude, and the "two generations of marriage" of Zhu Guier, Tang, as the big framework, which tells the legendary history of 170 years from the Sui Wendi's attack on Chen to Tang's death.

The characters in the novel are flexible and varied, or elaborately crafted, full of the flavor of the times, or bold in brushwork, with vivid characters. They describe the extravagant life of Emperor Yang Di, the rise of the army at the end of Sui Dynasty, the unification of Li Shimin, the bohemian of Wu Zetian in Tang Dynasty, and the affair between Huang Ming and Yang Guifei in Tang Dynasty. The book's sympathy for the wife of the Sixteenth Academy who lived in rivers and lakes after the demise of the Sui Dynasty and the sigh of the protagonist's frustration are inextricably linked with the author's mentality of "being down and out" and "being trapped" after the demise of Ming Chengzu.
