One volume of Netherworld Records is half of the human history of the Six Dynasties.
"The Record of the Netherworld" is a classic about strange things handed down by Liu Yiqing, a writer of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is different from "Shishuo Xinyu" in every article, elegant and strange, and jointly outlines a complete spiritual picture of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It is also a landmark work with the most humanistic warmth among the strange novels of the Six Dynasties.
The book is centered on "the connection between ghosts and ghosts, the connection between ghosts and ghosts", and collects the supernatural legends that have been circulated among the people for hundreds of years from the Han and Wei dynasties to the Southern Dynasties: encounters in fairy mountains, ghosts' dreams, deep love between humans and ghosts, reincarnation of good and evil, and anecdotes about ghosts and ghosts. Different from the traditional monsters that are curious and ferocious, the greatest feature of this book is that it uses ghosts and gods to describe human feelings, and uses the otherworld to illuminate the world. Liu Yiqing used minimalist pen and ink and ethereal Wei and Jin writing styles to dispel the gloomy and vicious atmosphere of the netherworld, giving each supernatural story vivid fireworks and sincere human touch.
