The Three Sui Quash the Demons' Revolt (Chinese: 三遂平妖傳; pinyin: Sān Suì píng yāo zhuàn), also translated as Quelling the Demons' Revolt and The Sorcerer's Revolt, is a Chinese novel attributed to the 14th-century novelist Luo Guanzhong, although the earliest extant version was compiled between 1571 and 1589, possibly by Wang Shenxiu (王慎脩).[1] In 1620 Feng Menglong expanded the novel to forty chapters from the original twenty. A work in the shenmo genre, the novel blends comedy with the supernatural,[2] and is an early work of vernacular fiction.[3]
