"Kuo Yi Zhi" is a collection of strange novels from the Song Dynasty. There are 10 volumes in total, and the author is Zhang Shizheng. The book contains many anecdotes and karma about people in the government and the public. For example, "The Scholar of Music" writes about the history of music. He dreamed that the Barefoot Li Immortal was sent by the Emperor of Heaven and reincarnated into the lower world as Renzong. "Privy Sheng" writes that after Sheng died, he met his former Prime Minister Shen Gong. Shen said that he was suffering from dirty foot socks and asked Sheng to tell his family after Sheng was resurrected. As a result, the dirty socks were found on Xianggong's funeral bed, which had been left by the old guard at the funeral. "Yu Shangshu" writes that Yu Jing prayed in the ancestral temple and begged gods for blessings and misfortunes in his dreams. The life experiences of Hou Yu and Liu were consistent with the divine words in the dream. Another example is "The Ballad of Cao Men", which writes that King Cao's good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds. "Chen Jing" explains that the rise and rise of emperors are all dictated by heaven. "Jia Wei Gong" explains that the distinction between high and low is determined by fate. The author intends to encourage and punish, but the stories are often bizarre and unbelievable. The author's purpose is to encourage good and punish evil, mostly focusing on anecdotes and karma.
Reader comments
The stories in this book are so amazing! Just like the experience of the privy envoy Sheng Gongdu, he came back from the dead and met his old prime minister Shen Gong in the underworld. I especially hate the villains in the story, they will definitely get their comeuppance! I feel like this book is telling us that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil. Sometimes I also think, if there is karma in the world, how wonderful it would be! In this way, those who do bad things will be punished, and kind people will be rewarded. However, some of the stories in the book are quite weird and unbelievable. But this is exactly its charm, it allows us to see a different world.
