【Content Introduction】
"Shishuo Su Tan" is a historical essay by the literary and historical writer Liu Bo interpreting Shishuo Xinyu. Using anecdotes, Liu Bo offers a humorous interpretation of the actions and thoughts of prominent figures in Shishuo Xinyu, such as Ruan Ji, Ji Kang, and Wang Xizhi. The book is divided into five chapters: "The Change of Dynasties from Han to Wei and the Beginning of the Mystical Wind," "The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove," "The Vanity and Illusion of China and the DPRK," "The Differences Between Rivers and Lakes," and "The Inescapable Old Thief." Based on the text of Shishuo Xinyu and drawing on relevant historical sources such as the "Book of Jin," Liu Bo conducts precise textual research, placing numerous prominent figures of the Wei and Jin dynasties within a specific historical context. He then uses multiple threads of imagination and reasoning to interpret the elegance and desolation of the Wei and Jin dynasties from a diverse perspective.
