Synopsis

"Yiyuan", a strange book from Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, is a classic of strange things that has been forgotten by time. It is more primitive than "Liao Zhai" and more vivid than "Sou Shen Ji"! From beauties transforming into rainbows and dragons offering auspiciousness, to pheasants dancing in mirrors and parrots extinguishing fires, to ghosts singing in the middle of the night and foxes bewitching people, to visions of heaven and earth, mountains and rivers with ghosts, to strange folk stories and relationships between humans and ghosts, there are hundreds of volumes and thousands of anecdotes that tell the story of the gods and ghosts of the Six Dynasties. There are traces of immortals within reach here: Tao Kan met Suo Hualong while fishing on a rock, and Ge Hong revealed the true form of the mountain spirit with one word; There are strange stories here that are both laughable and funny: the righteous mouse repays his kindness, the stupid tiger is deceived into filing a lawsuit; There are also various aspects of the human world hidden in the strange stories, and the divine providence that good and evil are rewarded. Reading it makes people amazed and can't stop reading it! The thousand-year-old ancient scrolls are full of interesting words. Open this book and unlock the most original stories about gods and ghosts written by the ancients, allowing you to read the weirdness and romance of the Six Dynasties in one go!
