A Collection of Vernacular Night Stories

About This Novel

The word novel appeared very early in China. The original meaning refers to trivial remarks, which have nothing to do with the grand purpose of Taoism, and have nothing to do with the concept of novels in the current literary sense. Later, Ban Gu's "Hanshu·Art Zhi" said: "Novelists talk about street talk." This is close to the so-called novels today. However, the fifteen novels recorded in "Hanshu Art Chronicles" totaled 1,390, and all of them were lost by the Sui Dynasty. Not only that, all the existing Han Chinese novels are all based on the forgeries of later generations. Therefore, to discuss Chinese novels, we should start from the Six Dynasties.
