Reader comments

The book "Lu Yi Ji" is very interesting and full of whimsical ideas. Just like what is written in the book, "A servant breaks off its branches, and waves stir up its roots." It is really a stroke of genius to use what happened to a tree by the river to describe people's fate! This reminds me of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", which both reflect social reality through stories of gods and monsters. Moreover, I think Mr. Gui Gu in the book is a bit similar to Zhuge Liang in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", both are symbols of wisdom. This book is worth reading and I recommend it to you!
