《海上花》,又名《海上花列传》,作者署名花也怜侬(原名韩邦庆)。一个世纪以来,前后出版4次,受到鲁迅、胡适、刘半农、张爱玲等几代学者的推崇,的确是一部海上奇书。花也怜侬是谁?20年代,鲁迅在北京大学讲授《中国小说史略》,对中国小说作历史的考察,他对《海上花列传》评价颇高。他认为《红楼梦》以后一百年中的小说,都明显地有《红楼梦》的痕迹,自《海上花列传》出,方才独树一帜。这是第一本实写妓女生活的吴语小说,描写官吏、商人、西崽、流氓各色人等 “Sea Flowers”, also known as “Sea Flowers Biography”, the author signature flower pity Nong (formerly known as Han Bangqing).

In the 1920s, Lu Xun taught “A Brief History of Chinese Fiction” at Peking University and made a historical review of Chinese fiction. He commented highly on The Biography of Flowers on the Sea. In his opinion, novels in the one hundred years after “A Dream of Red Mansions” clearly show the traces of “A Dream of Red Mansions”.
