"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".

E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776-1822) was an important writer of the late German Romantics. Most of his works are mysterious and grotesque, using exaggerated techniques to satirize and expose reality.

The four novels included in this book have different styles and themes. "Choosing a Fiancée" is a realistic novel that mocks the philistines and mediocrity in the real society at that time; "Miss Scodelly" is a historical novel that writes an anecdote in the Louis XIV era of France; "The Dwarf" "Chaches" is a fairy tale novel, which profoundly exposes the shady scenes and ugliness in the palace; while "Monster" is a magic novel, about a Prussian officer who was affected by witchcraft and showed a series of weird behaviors, reflecting people's hope that monsters can change people's destiny.

The protagonist Ye Zang is cowardly and timid, afraid to face all the emotions in the world, and does not understand the complex inner world of human beings. He hides his true self by making others happy, uses drinking to have fun to escape the world, and ultimately leads to destruction. This kind of confusion runs through the youth of the author and everyone; he is tortured by pain and confusion, and he spends his life seeking love and avoiding love due to self-weariness. To be disqualified in the human world means to have lost the qualifications to be a human being.

Later, Dazai Osamu was rescued, but the other party died unfortunately. Osamu Dazai was charged with "assisted suicide" but was not prosecuted. This incident became an unforgettable crime for Dazai Osamu, and he created the novel "Clown Flower" based on this experience.

"Flagbearer of the Twentieth Century" In 1936, Osamu Dazai experienced numerous embarrassments including appendicitis complicated by peritonitis, drug poisoning, and failure to win the Akutagawa Prize. In a desperate situation, Osamu Dazai wrote the sentence "I'm sorry for being born human" under the title of this work. The novel tells the story of Dazai Osamu who tried his best to fight against life, but encountered various misfortunes in turn. Osamu Dazai said: "I wrote "The Standard Bearer of the Twentieth Century" in extreme despair; but I still firmly believe that on the other side of despair, there must be hope." "Cherry" June 13, 1948, heavy rain poured down. Dazai Osamu and female reader Yamazaki Furei committed suicide by throwing themselves into the Tamagawa River. Six days later, their bodies were found under the bridge, on his birthday. Since then, June 19th every year has been regarded as the anniversary of Dazai Osamu's death. On this day, fresh cherries are placed in front of Dazai Osamu's tomb to hold a "cherry memorial ceremony". The name Sakura Ji comes from the novel "Cherry" published one year before his suicide, which tells the helpless life between Dazai Osamu and his wife and children.
