醒世恒言.书前版画.明.冯梦龙编撰.可一居士评.明末金阊叶敬池刊本
《醒世恒言》在明代著名文学家冯梦龙的旷世名著“三言”中是最晚出的，大约在天启七年（1627），由苏州书坊主叶敬池刊行出版。此时距“三言”的第一部《古今小说》的出版，已经有六年了。至此，受到读者热烈欢迎并期盼的“三言”这一出版大工程终于告竣。虽然晚出，但《醒世恒言》却后出转精，有愈陈愈香之致。三部书相比较，《醒世恒言》在内容题材上都显示出一些新的特点，在艺术上则更加成熟。所以，它在“三言”中是流传最广、影响最大、最为人津津乐道的一部。
《醒世恒言》所收的四十篇话本中，利用宋元旧本改编的，已经很少了，可确证的不足七篇，其他都是明代的作品，可能大部分是冯梦龙自己的原创。因此，直接反映明代社会生活及其思想道德观念的作品，就占了大部分，其认识价值自然相应地提高了。它最为显著的特点，是表现了明代中后期城乡工商业的繁荣给传统社会的生活方式以及思想道德观念的冲击，同时塑造了一批商人的形象，给人印象很深。《施润泽滩阙遇友》就是最著名的一篇，它描写了吴江盛泽镇家有织机，丝织业发达繁荣的盛况，是当时江南社会的真实写照，具有重要的史料价值。小说写主人公施润泽由一个通宵劳作的手工业者，一步步发展为昼夜运营、家有数千金的工场主的历程，表现了当时新兴的市民阶层中，既是劳动者、又是小私有者的那种渴望发家致富的心理状态和锐意进取的精神。
Xingshi Hengyan. Print in front of the book. Ming Dynasty. Edited by Feng Menglong. Keyi Jushi Review. Jinchang Ye Jingchi Publication at the end of the Ming Dynasty

“Awakening the World” is the latest in Feng Menglong’s “Three Words”, a famous litterateur in the Ming Dynasty. It was published by Ye Jingchi, the owner of Suzhou Bookstore, about the seventh year of the apocalypse (1627). It has been six years since the publication of the first “Ancient and Modern Novels” by “San Yan”. At this point, the publishing project of “San Yan”, which has been warmly welcomed and eagerly anticipated by readers, has finally come to an end. Although it came out late, “Awakening to the World” turned to be more refined, with a trend of becoming more mature and fragrant. Compared to the three books, ‘Awakening to the World’ shows some new characteristics in terms of content and themes, while it is more mature in terms of art. So, it is the most widely circulated, influential, and beloved part among the “Three Words”.

Among the forty story books collected in Awakening the World, few are adapted from the old version of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and less than seven can be confirmed. The rest are works of the Ming Dynasty, most of which may be Feng Menglong’s own original works. Therefore, works that directly reflect the social life and ideological and moral concepts of the Ming Dynasty accounted for the majority, and their cognitive value naturally increased accordingly. Its most prominent feature is the impact of the prosperity of urban and rural industrial and commercial industries in the mid to late Ming Dynasty on the traditional way of life and ideological and moral concepts, while shaping the image of a group of businessmen, leaving a deep impression on people. Shi Runze Meets Friends in the Beach is the most famous one. It describes the grand occasion when the family in Shengze of Wujiang has looms and the silk weaving industry is developed and prosperous. It is a true portrayal of the society in the south of the Yangtze River at that time and has important historical data value. The protagonist of the novel, Shi Runze, gradually develops from a handicraftsman who works all night to a workshop owner who operates day and night and owns thousands of dollars. This portrays the psychological state and enterprising spirit of the emerging civil class at that time, which was both a laborer and a small private owner, eager to get rich.
