Creative background:
Shi Shuo Xin Yu is a collection of note novels. This book not only recorded the speeches and anecdotes of the gentry from the Han and Wei Dynasties to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but also reflected the thoughts, life and ethos of the literati at that time. And its language is concise, so it has been loved and valued by scholars since it came out. Novels such as Guan Hanqing's zaju Yujingtai and Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms often look for materials from it.
Of course, because Liu Yiqing was in Yangzhou at that time, he heard a lot of local people's stories and folklore, so in Shi Shuo Xin Yu, some stories that happened in Yangzhou at that time were also recorded.
As we are familiar with the idiom "strange thing", it comes from Yin Hao, a former Jianwu general and Yangzhou secretariat. He never said a word of complaint, but just wrote and drew in the air with his fingers every day. Yangzhou officials followed his strokes and secretly observed that he only wrote the word "strange". Only then did everyone know that he was expressing his grievances in this way.
It's a pity that Liu Yiqing left Yangzhou because of illness just after the book Shi Shuo was written, and died young soon after returning to Beijing, at the age of 465,438+0. Song Wendi was deeply saddened, and posthumous title called him "Kang Wang".
