Shishuoxinyu—a Gossip Weekly of the Southern and Northern Dynasties

In fact, I have always felt that "Shishuo Xinyu" is a gossip weekly from the Southern and Northern Dynasties, purely for Liu Yiqing and his group of diners to chew their teeth after eating - That so-and-so is not as pretty as so-and-so, that so-and-so has an affair with so-and-so, that so-and-so is having a big fight with so-and-so... And so on. In fact, men like to gossip about women, but they don't know that men are more gossipy than women. In fact, most of the producers and operators of many gossip weekly magazines are men, from Shishuoxinyu to Time Magazine. Therefore, don't think that pure literature is literature. As long as you are really talented and take your words seriously, even a gossip magazine can be turned into a masterpiece! Liu Yiqing's gossip is relatively non-trivial. If it were changed now, the titles of these gossips would be like this: "Performance artist Mi Heng performs streaking at the annual political party" "Crazy fans caused tragedy, super male champion Wei Jie fell ill and was rushed to 110" "Prime Minister Xie An and his wife express different views on children's education" "Prime Minister Jia Chong's Confrontation between New and Old Loves" "Xun Fengqian and her beautiful wife were exposed to perform an intimate show in public" "Whose kid stole wine and ate it?" The Zhong family and the Kong family accused each other of imposters" "The two ministers Zhou and Yu had a heated argument, triggering a new round of weight loss craze among the people" "The chief singer of Cao's Entertainment was banned in cold storage for acting like a big name"
