About This Novel
"Shuo Yuan" is a collection of historical stories compiled by Liu Xiang during the Western Han Dynasty when he was in charge of the imperial library. In "Shuo Yuan Preface", Liu Xiang said: "The "Shuo Yuan Miscellaneous Affairs" in the school's Zhongshu, as well as the ministers' letters, folk books, and false accusations, have many types of things, and the chapters and sentences are confused, or the top and bottom are confused, making it difficult to distinguish the order. Except those that are overlapping with the "New Preface" , the rest are shallow and do not follow the principles. They are grouped together as hundreds of schools. Later, they were ordered to follow each other, and they were divided into chapters one by one, and more than 100,000 words were created. Each of the 20 chapters and 784 chapters was titled "Xinyuan", which is worth mentioning. "
