About This Novel

This book is a notebook novel compiled by Yuan Mei during the Qianjia period of the Qing Dynasty. It was originally called "Zi Buyu". Later, it was changed to "Xin Qixie" when it was found that there were similarities in the Yuan Dynasty. The stories in the book come from folk rumors, oral narrations from relatives and friends, other people's writings, real life and the author's creations. Most of the stories in the book are about ghosts and spirits, but also about strange people and anecdotes. Yuan Mei uses concise words, documentary writing, and bizarre stories to show the bizarre world, and reveals the many "evils" in ordinary life in an extremely humorous and obscure way, involving morals, systems, religions, customs, human nature and other aspects.

Note: This is an excerpt from the complete book Zi Buyu!

Because it was a bestseller, I bought the physical version of this book and regretted it, but the waistband had been thrown away and there was no way to return it. I didn't pay enough attention before, but I just selected some by category, and now I have to buy them again. There is also no translation of this version. There are basically no comments. The advantage is that it has categories and a nice cover.

It's quite interesting. The words in classical Chinese are simple and you can translate the whole text by yourself, which is also very helpful for learning ancient Chinese.

Out of power

For a person, reading only classical Chinese is quite tiring, so it would be great to have a translation (?7?0▽?7?0)

It looks good (*/?\*) And is also very helpful for learning ancient Chinese. The annotations are very user-friendly.

The theme is similar to the notes of Yuewei Caotang...

Strange powers and chaotic gods are all in the cycle of cause and effect... Teach people to be kind. But it is much better than the many positive energy jokes nowadays... The ancient books and modern words have always been said, and that's about it. It makes sense not to read the Qin and Han Dynasties...
