General Fiction太平广记（三）
(song Dynasty) Li Fang Et Al.
"Taiping Guangji" is a collection of classical Chinese novels in ancient my country, with a total of 500 volumes. It was compiled by Li Fang and others during the Taiping and Xingguo reign of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty by collecting various unofficial histories, biographies, stories, novels, etc. It is collectively known as the "Four Great Books of the Song Dynasty" together with "Taiping Yulan", "Wenyuan Yinghua" and "Cefu Yuangui". "Taiping Guangji" is compiled and classified according to the nature of the novel's subject matter. The whole book is divided into ninety-two major categories, and some categories are further divided into details, with more than 150 details in total. The number of volumes in each category varies, ranging from one volume to dozens of volumes. Among them, the most numerous volumes are: fifty-five volumes of gods, forty volumes of ghosts, thirty-three volumes of retribution, twenty-five volumes of gods, sixteen volumes of determination, fifteen volumes of female immortals, thirteen volumes of beasts, twelve volumes of strange monks, twelve volumes of rebirth, twelve volumes of grass and trees, eleven volumes of recruitment, nine volumes of monsters, nine volumes of foxes, nine volumes of water tribes, nine volumes of miscellaneous biographies (collecting single legends from Tang Dynasty), eight volumes of humors, eight volumes of dragons, eight volumes of tigers, eight volumes of miscellaneous records, etc. From this, it can be roughly seen that the contents of "Taiping Guangji" are mostly stories of gods and ghosts. "Taiping Guangji" preserves a large number of classical Chinese novels before the Song Dynasty, and is called "the deep sea of novelists" by the "Sikuquanshu General Catalog", such as the famous Tang legends "The Biography of Li Wa", "The Biography of Huo Xiaoyu", "The Biography of Yingying", "The Biography of the Song of Everlasting Sorrow", "The Biography of Liu Yi", "The Biography of the Qiu Bearded Guest", etc. The creation of opera novels after the Song Dynasty are often influenced by it. For example, the later famous dramas "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "The Palace of Eternal Life" are based on the aforementioned "The Story of Yingying" and "The Story of Everlasting Sorrow". Novels such as "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" are also deeply influenced by it, so they have always been valued by researchers and lovers of ancient novels. Since most of the ancient books quoted in "Taiping Guangji" have been lost, and they are all based on ancient books before the Song Dynasty, it is also of great value in the aspects of document compilation, collation, and forgery identification. In addition, "Taiping Guangji" also has certain historical value in the study of social life, folk customs, and cultural thoughts. For this publication, we used Wang Shaoying's proofread version of "Taiping Guangji" published by Zhonghua Book Company in 1961 as the basis, and changed it to simplified horizontal layout. The main text is arranged in large Song-style characters, and the small notes and sources are arranged in small Song-style characters. We added new punctuation and segmented the longer chapters according to the meaning of the text. As a popular reading book for readers, in order to avoid cumbersomeness, this book has deleted most of the proofreading of the original version. At the same time, it has also absorbed some recent academic collation results to correct some errors in the original version, striving to provide readers with an accurate and easy-to-read version of "Taiping Guangji".
