Zibuyu, What the Master Would Not Discuss, According to Yuan Mei (1716 - 1798): a Collection of Supernatural Stories (2 Vols) (Emotions and States of Mind in East Asia)
Paolo Santangelo
Although the preface says that the tales in this collection of supernatural stories should not be taken seriously and just aim to dispel boredom, Zibuyu is a work with different reading levels, which allows to uncover several deep trends, taboos and fantasies of late imperial intellectual circles. Disgust, surprise and laughter are constantly evoked, by continually attracting and repulsing the reader. Santangelo and Yan have introduced, translated and commented upon the collection.
