"The name of the novel can be traced back to Zhuang Zhou in the past, who said, "It is decorated as a novel to serve as a county magistrate" (Zhuangzi, Foreign Languages)"
"The flow of novelists is due to officials who talk in the streets and hearsay. Confucius said, "Although the road is small, there must be something to behold. If you go far, you will be afraid of mud. "This is why a gentleman should not be regarded as a noble person, but he should not be exterminated. Even if the little knowledgable people in the village reach out, they will not forget it. If there is a word, it can be adopted. This is also the opinion of the crazy man."

"The second Emperor Cheng Ai sent Liu Xiang and his son Xin to the secretarial office successively. Xin was the general secretary and reported his seven strategies. The seven strategies are now dead. Ban Gu wrote the Han Dynasty and deleted the essentials for art and literature. The third one is called Zhuzilue. Ten schools were recorded, and it was said that "nine of them can be seen". The novel does not match it, but it still exists at the end, and fifteen families were found."
