The second section includes translations of Chinese plays, which were a popular form of entertainment in China during the Qing Dynasty. The third section features translations of Chinese novels, including the famous Journey to the West. The final section of the book contains translations of Chinese fables and folktales.Overall, Horae Sinicae is an important work of early sinology, providing readers with a valuable insight into the literary and cultural traditions of China.
