  • 出版说明  封神演义是在我国人民中广为流传的一部古典小说,成书年代约在明朝隆庆、万历年间(1567——1619)。全书故事以商周年代为背景,描写了仁慈爱民的周武王和丞相姜子牙与暴虐无道的纣王之间的斗争,歌颂了正义力量,鞭笞了邪恶势力。书中对大小诸侯纷纷起来反抗昏庸暴君等情节的描写,在一定程度上冲破了封建伦理观念。这些,今天仍有其积极意义。我社在改编这套连环画时,力求突出正义战胜邪恶,除暴君奸臣这一主题思想,保留了原书中这方面的情节;而对原著中那些今天看来缺乏积极意义,以至荒诞迷信等糟粕,作了必要的删弃。 这套连环画共分十五集。

  • Publication Note  Investiture of the Gods (Fengshen Yanyi) is a classic novel widely circulated among the Chinese people. It was completed around the Longqing and Wanli periods of the Ming dynasty (1567–1619). The entire story is set against the backdrop of the Shang and Zhou dynasties and depicts the struggle between the benevolent and people-loving King Wu of Zhou and his prime minister Jiang Ziya, and the tyrannical and oppressive King Zhou of Shang. The story praises the forces of justice and condemns the force of evil. Its portrayal of various feudal lords rising up to resist the foolish and cruel monarch broke, to some extent, traditional feudal values. These aspects still hold positive significance today.In adapting this lianhuanhua series, our publishing house has strived to highlight the theme of justice triumphing over evil and elimination of tyrants and treacherous ministers, and we preserve related episodes from the original work. Meanwhile, we have made necessary deletion of parts that today seem lacking in positive value and even appear superstitious and absurd. This lianhuanhua series is divided into 15 volumes in total.
