According to legend, there was a Sasan kingdom between ancient India and China. King Ruyal was cruel and jealous, so he killed the queen because of her bad behavior. After that, he married a girl every day and killed her the next morning as revenge.
Scheherazade, the daughter of the Prime Minister, volunteered to marry the king to save the innocent woman and attract the king by telling stories. Every night, at dawn, the king couldn't bear to kill her and allowed her to continue talking the next night.
Her story has been told for 1001 nights, and the king was finally moved to grow old with her. Gorky praised it as "the most magnificent monument" in the history of world folk literature because of its rich content and large scale.

Creation background
In fact, Arabian Nights was jointly created by the people of Arabia and its neighboring countries. As early as the 6th century AD, folk stories from India and Persia spread to Iraq and Syria. The Arab Empire reached its peak in the 10 century to the 9th century.
At this time, the inherent culture of the Arab nation was influenced by the conquered Syrian, Egyptian, two river basins and Persian cultures, absorbed the ancient cultures of Greece and India, and created a splendid new culture in the Middle Ages. Manuscripts began to appear here on the night of 1001, and then after many supplements, they were basically finalized in Egypt in the16th century.
