Chapter 26 Preface to "Legends of Tang and Song Dynasties" (1)

Preface to "Legends of Tang and Song Dynasties" (1) In the Ming Dynasty, Hu Yinglin of Dongyue studied four books, and he said: "The talk of variation flourished in the Six Dynasties, but most of them were errors in biography and records, not necessarily full of illusions. As far as Tang people were concerned, they were curious, and fake novels were sent as pens. Such as "Mao Ying" and the like are acceptable. If "Dongyang Night Monster" is self-explanatory, "Xuanguailu" has no existence at all, but they can all be laughed at, and its literary style is also inferior. It is not sufficient to say that it is recorded by people in Song Dynasty. There are many who are close to the truth, but the literary beauty is not enough." [2] His words are almost true.Satisfied with poetry and Fu, looking for new ways, thinking about it, novels are brilliant.Then Xian Bingzheng regarded it as soil and sand, and only relied on the tolerance of "Taiping Guangji" and so on, so he could save a tithe.Gu Fuyuan Jiaren traded profit, picked up carvings, such as "Shuo Hai", such as "Ancient and Modern Essays", such as "Five Dynasties Novels" [3], such as "Secretary of Longwei" [4], such as "Tang Ren Shuo Hui", For example, "Yi Yuan Hua Hua" [5], in order to have a clear view and dazzle those who see it, often make up the title of the article, change the title, the author, the biography of the Jin and Tang Dynasties, and the tattoos are almost exhausted.Husband ants cherish their noses, but they are still fragrant like elephants, mothers protect their faces, and they are inferior to Mao Qiang (6). Even though he is a novelist, he has always been called humble and inferior to the ranks of toilets, but if he changes his head and cuts his feet, he is still the same. It's also a terrible disaster.I have tasted the disease in the past, and I am determined to correct it.First compiled the novels from the Han to the Sui Dynasty, it was the five volumes of "Gou Shen" [7]; gradually recorded the legendary works of Tang and Song Dynasties, and compiled them into one compilation, which is more reliable than the current edition.But repeatedly, he did not care about Dong, entrusted all the suitcases, and divided the beetles.Unemployed this summer, living in seclusion in Nanzhong [8], I occasionally saw the "Chinese Short Stories Collection" edited by Mr. Zheng Zhenduo.It is a pity that "Night Monster Record" still has the title Wang Zhu, and "Ling Ying Zhuan" has not been deleted in Ti [9], because it is old, and there is still nostalgia.After re-reading Daxing Xu Song's "Records of Enrolling in the Imperial College" [10], the accumulation of small things became clear, and the deep secrets were collected, and Li Zhengji cited Li Jingliang's "Ren Hu Zhuan" as a testimony [11].This is not Jing Liang's writing.Although Mi Tan's short book is slang, once it is usurped, it will not only harm the essays, but also harm the history.Recalling the old manuscripts suddenly, looking at the truth in the sack, the gloomyness is added, but it is not the case.Nailui follows the chronological order and browses for a week.Forgive me, Wang Du's "Ancient Mirror" still has the ghosts of the Six Dynasties, and it has greatly increased its splendor.Qianli's "Yang Chan" and Liu Jue's "Shangqing" are extremely weak, which is the same as that of poetry.Song Hao persuades and punishes, it is solid but muddy, it flies so fast, it is unpredictable, the lifeblood of the legend, it will never end.But from Dali to Dazhong, the author Yunzheng, Yushu Wenyuan, Shen Jiji, Xu Yaozuo, Jiang Fang, Yuanzhen, Li Gongzuo, Bai Xingjian, Chen Hong and Shen Ya are outstanding.Especially the record of "Night Monsters" shows that there is nothing in it, and it is still new in the Tang Dynasty to catch up with today's Yun Cheng's statement.Although there is no secret text recorded in the self-examination, but I have worked hard in the past, and I still cherish it.Looking back over the past few years, there are not many people who can sincerely take care of the legends of Tang and Song Dynasties.Holding this trickle down, annotating the other's talking about the deep, and offering me the same flow, compared with celery seeds [12], it may also reduce the labor of research and search a little, and enjoy the joy of interpretation.So Dumen spread out the books and reassessed them. From the beginning of the month, all eight volumes can be proofread and printed.After making a wish and knowing luck, Fang Xin has already said: "I can't do it because I care about my old hometown, and I can't do it without flying light. It's a pity. This is why I am good for my life, but it is a last resort."There are still miscellaneous examples, and the left side is affixed:

1. The sources for this collection are the Ming edition of "Wenyuan Yinghua"; the Qing Huangsheng [13] edition of "Taiping Guangji", which was proofread by the Ming Xu Zichang's (14) engraved edition; "Jian Kao Yi"; Dong Kang engraved Shi Li's "Qing Suo Gao Yi", proofreading Zhang Mengxi's publication and old banknotes in Ming Dynasty; Ming Song version "Bai Chuan Xue Hai"; Ming banknote original "Shuo Yu"; Ming Gu Yuanqing published "Scholar's Fiction"; Qing Hu Ting typeprinted "Linlang Secret Room Series" and so on.

One, the collection is taken in a single article.If there is one article in a book, it will not be picked up even though the matter is extremely prominent, or the book is dead.For example, [15] in Yuan Jiao's "Gan Ze Ballad", [16] in Li Fuyan's "Xuxuan Monster Record", [17] in Pei Cheng's "Kunlun Nu" and "Nie Yinniang", etc.Although Huangfu Mei's "Feiyan Biography" is also an anecdote in "Sanshui Xiaodo", the quotation in "Taiping Guangji" does not mean that it came from any book, and it seems to have been single, so it is still included.

First, the selection in this collection, the Tang text is lenient, while the Song system is quite selective.All the serials compiled by Ming and Qing people had fraudulent authors, and they were often reviewed and corrected to dismiss their fraudulent deceptions. They dared not publish them in order to seek trust.There is "Youxian Cave" in Japan, which was written by Zhang Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty [18]. 1. If there are articles in this collection that appear again in different books or different editions and can be cross-checked, they will be cross-checked.There are differences in words and sentences, but follow the truth.Also do not list a certain word and a certain book as a certain one, so as to save trouble.If readers want to know more details, there is a record at the end of the volume which book and volume a certain article came from, so that they can review the original book to find out what it is.

One, I have always dabbled in miscellaneous books, and when I meet those who have sufficient qualifications to refer to the legends of the Tang and Song Dynasties, I will write them from time to time, so as to prepare for forgetting.Because of Mercedes-Benz, it was quite lost.It is not easy to get books among the guests, so there is nothing to do.Today, but the remnants of the collection are collected, a little better based on what we have seen recently, and they are combined into one volume, and the last slips are attached to keep the old news. First, the legends of the Tang Dynasty have been largely funded by composers since the Jin and Yuan Dynasties.The second thing is about lyrics and music, I have never paid attention to it, reselling old books, forgive me for making mistakes, intensive research and extensive examination, in order to be an expert.

First, there are not many volumes in this collection, and the achievements are not easy.It was first selected and recorded by Mr. Xu Guangping [20], and the most is "Taiping Guangji" in Chinese.However, it is only based on Huang Sheng's copy, and I am very worried about corruption.Last year, Mr. Wei Jiangong [21] collated and used the Ming Changzhou Xu Zichang publication in the library of Peking University, and he was relieved.I caught this miscellaneous letter and planned to put it at the end of the volume, but the old manuscript was scribbled, and there were many doubts. Jiang Jing and the three monarchs [22] wrote more than ten kinds of books, so that they could be searched, so they were ready.As far as the book jacket made by Tao Yuanqingjun [23], it has been given to me more than a year ago.

Thanks to the efforts of all, this compilation is made. I would like to borrow empty words, and Pu Ming Gao Yi Yun Er. On September 10th, the 16th year of the Republic of China, Lu Xun completed the inscription.At that time, the night was full of sky, the jade moon was shining brightly, the gluttonous mosquitoes sighed in the distance, and I was in Guangzhou. ※ ※ ※ 〔1〕This article was originally published in the joint issue of the 51st and 52nd issues of Shanghai "Beixin Weekly" on October 16, 1927, and was later printed in the December 1927 issue of Beixin Book Company The first volume of "Legends of Tang and Song Dynasties".
