About This Novel
This book is a notebook novel compiled by Yuan Mei during the Qianjia period of the Qing Dynasty. It was originally titled "Zi Buyu". The stories in the book are derived from folk rumors, oral narrations from relatives and friends, other people's writings, real life and the author's creation. It mostly writes about ghosts, spirits, and strange people. "Zi Buyu" is full of bizarre stories about reincarnation, unjust ghosts demanding lives, and evil ghosts causing troubles; images of various gods and ghosts such as city gods, land, wronged ghosts, and slaves can be seen everywhere. There are only a few stories that do not involve ghosts and gods at all, and most of them promote the superstitious ideas of "karma" and fate. Yuan Mei uses these images of gods and ghosts and weird stories to show readers a complete underworld society.
