Paper Summary:
The paper describes how the story "Censor Xue Finds Immortality in the Guise of a Fish" written by the pseudonymous "Lang Xian" and based upon an earlier story from the era of the Tang Dynasty, may be seen as part of a long tradition of stories in Chinese literature on the theme of suffering leading to enlightenment. However, the paper discusses how the comic aspects of this story may seem puzzling to some, as their sheer ridiculousness would seem to undermine the moral and philosophical lesson being promoted by the story.More papers on Chinese Literature :
