"Ancient Fiction Gou Shen" Preface [1] As for the novelist, Ban Gu thought that "from the barnyard officials", "the little sages in the village can make them never forget, if a word can be picked up, this is also the opinion of a madman" [2].Therefore, the official career ambitions will be the same as the ancient "officials who collect poetry, the king knows the gains and losses by observing the customs" [3].Gu Qitiao is the most famous scholar, judged to list ten schools, and said that "nine are impressive" (4), but the novel does not agree with it;

Fifteen families [5] were recorded, but they are now scattered.However, "Da Dai Li" cites the records of Qing Shishi [6], cites the words of Song Ying [7], and the purpose of the isolated sentence cannot be inferred.The past is far away, and the descendants have become more and more numerous, but the commentators still stick to the old sayings, so they hold on to the germination to save Ke Ye! Yu Shaoxi reads ancient theories, or sees errors, and then collects books on evidence, and occasionally anecdotes, and often writes them out.Although Cong Remnant loses more order, but Yalue is there.Da Gong's Suoyu Zhiyan, historians did not learn, gods and ghosts, and numerology waves; the blessed land of real people, the gods among gods, the secret experience of the underworld, and the underworld of Shishi.A small book in the world is far away and afraid of mud [8], but Hong's pen was late, this is his power.The situation is recorded from Li Lane, which is loved by the people of the country; out of fabrication, it is the result of thinking about scholars.The mind is proliferating, and this product is born by itself. It is like Shunhua in Wenlin, which is enough for Lier civilization, embellishing loneliness, and it can't be used as a wide-ranging audio-visual tool.However, the commentators still stick to their old sayings.Cherishing this old book, which is becoming more and more scattered, and considering that there will be few free time in the future, I compared it and compiled it, and proofread the collections of ancient people.

The old book of returning to the soul is to seek explanations for oneself, but for those who talk about the way, it says: the official career will be the same as the ancient "officials who collect poetry, the king knows the gains and losses by observing customs and customs". ※ ※ ※ 〔1〕This article is compiled according to the manuscript, without punctuation.Originally published under the signature of Zhou Zuoren in the first volume of "Yueshe Series" published in Shaoxing in February 1912; it was not included in the eighth volume of "The Complete Works of Lu Xun" published in 1938.

"Ancient Fiction Gou Shen", a collection of lost essays on ancient novels compiled by Lu Xun from June 1909 to the end of 1911, including thirty-six titles from Zhou's "Qing Shi Zi" to Sui Hou Bai's "Jing Yi Ji" .In June 1938, it was first printed in the eighth volume of "The Complete Works of Lu Xun" edited by the Mr. Lu Xun Memorial Committee.

"The stream of novelists is based on barnyard officials. Street talk and alley talk are created by those who listen to the words." Yan Shigu in the Tang Dynasty commented: "barnyard officials, small officials." Wei Ruchun of the Three Kingdoms commented: "The king wants to know Luxiang Customs, so we set up barnyard officials to call it." 〔3〕"The official who picks poetry, the king knows the gains and losses by observing customs and customs." So observe the customs, know the gains and losses, and test yourself." 〔4〕The "nine of the observable" "Hanshu Yiwenzhi Zhuzilue" lists ten schools of Confucianism, Taoism, Yin and Yang, Fa, Ming, Mo, Zongheng, Za, Nong, and novels, and says: "The ten schools of thought , there are only nine of them.”

[5] Fifteen novels recorded in "Hanshu Yiwenzhi Zhuzilue", namely "Yi Yin Shuo", "Geng Zi Shuo", "Zhou Kao", "Qing Shi Zi", "Shi Kuang", "Wu Zi Shuo" Chengzi", "Songzi", "Tianyi", "Huangdi Shuo", "Feng Chan Fang Shuo", "The Art of Waiting for Ministers to Raise Their Hearts", "The Art of Waiting for Ministers to Ann Cheng Weiyang", "Chen Shou Zhou Ji", " Yu Chu Zhou Shuo" and "Hundred Schools". 〔6〕 "Da Dai Li Ji", also known as "Da Dai Li Ji", is said to have been compiled by Dai De in the Western Han Dynasty. There were 85 chapters in the original book, and 39 chapters exist today.Qing Shi Shi refers to the author of "Qing Shi Zi". "Hanshu Yiwenzhi Zhuzilue": "Qing Shizi" fifty-seven chapters." Ban Gu's self-note: "Ancient historians also record things." "Sui Shu Jingji Zhi" said "Liang You "Qing Shizi" volume ,...death." Then this book escaped during the Sui and Tang dynasties.Lu Xun's "Ancient Fiction Gou Shen" records three of his lost articles, two of which are compiled from "Da Dai Li Bao Fu" (one of which is re-found in "Jia Yi's New Book · Miscellaneous Things about Prenatal Education"), and one is compiled from "Customs and Customs".

〔7〕 One of the representative works of Taoism, "Han Shu·Yiwenzhi" contains 52 chapters, 33 of which are preserved today.The author Zhuang Zhou (approximately 369-286 BC) was born in Song Guomeng (now Shangqiu, Henan) during the Warring States Period. "Zhuangzi · Tianxia" quotes Song Xing's words such as "a gentleman should not be harsh, and will not use his body to fake things".Song Xing, "Mencius" is Song Xing, and "Han Feizi" is Song Rongzi. Lu Xun believes that he is the author of "Song Zi".See "A Brief History of Chinese Fiction: Novels Contained in Hanshu Yiwenzhi".

[8] "The Analects of Confucius·Zi Zhang" of Zhiyuan Fear of Mud: "Zi Xia said: Even though the path is small, there must be something worth looking at. Zhiyuan's fear of mud is based on a gentleman." "Hanshu·Yiwenzhi·Zhuzilue" Zeng Quote this phrase to discuss novels.
