Content introduction:

The content is mainly based on legends and stories collected by the people, and each volume has a core figure or theme, which retains a lot of folk wisdom and embodies folk customs and historical features.

On "Don't be careless about trifles":
The Biography of Xu Wenchang was edited by Xie, Ruan, Shou Nengren and four comrades, and edited by Xie.
1July, 979, this book was printed by the editorial department of Hangzhou West Lake Monthly and Shaoxing County Cultural Bureau respectively. There were only forty at that time, but now it has increased to forty-six.
Before the founding of New China, Xu Wenchang's stories were recorded, some of which were deliberately distorted and fabricated by the ruling class, some were fabricated by idle literati at will, and even many were vulgar and obscene.
This demeans Xu Wenchang and is inconsistent with the true colors of history. On the eve of the publication of the consulting book the year before last, I borrowed a famous poem by Lu You, a great poet in the Song Dynasty, and slightly rewritten the book into four poems.
