This book is also known as "The Record of the Netherworld" and "The Notes of the Netherworld", a collection of strange novels written by Liu Yiqing, a royal family member of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty. The genres of stories in the book include geography, miscellaneous history, and talks about Buddhism and Taoism. Most of the works are short and concise, lacking details, but the descriptions are elegant and delicate. Poems are also quoted in chapters such as "Underwater String Song", "Girls Picking Water Bottles", "Tiao Shu Jing", "Guo Changsheng", "Fei Sheng", "Chen Aden", "Fish Belly Alchemy" and "Fangshan Pavilion Charm". "Lu Ming Lu" inherits the traditional fairy and monster themes, but also has innovations, especially in the humanization of ghosts and ghosts, which has made great progress, making the work more realistic.

Let's give it a five-star first!
I especially like the humanized description of ghosts and monsters in "The Book of Darkness", which feels very real. However, I don't really like some of the gods in it. I think they are a bit too mysterious and aloof. The author's writing style is very delicate and the writing style is also good. Some stories also quote poems, which makes people feel very literary. All in all, it's a book worth reading.
