The general meaning of Shishuoxinyu.

"Shishuoxinyu" is a representative work of "Zhiren novels" during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in my country. It was compiled by Liu Yiqing in the Southern Song Dynasty. According to the content, it can be divided into thirty-six categories such as "Virtue", "Speech", "Political Affairs" and "Literature". Each category contains a number of stories. There are more than 1,200 stories in the book, and each text is of different lengths. First, some are several lines, and some are just a few words. This shows the appeal and characteristics of "note-taking" novels. Its content mainly records the words, deeds and anecdotes of some celebrities from the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Jin and Song Dynasties. The books contained in the book are all historical figures, but some of their remarks or stories are based on rumors and are not entirely consistent with historical facts. A considerable part of this book is collected from various books. For example, the stories of individual characters of the Western Han Dynasty contained in "Gui Zhen" and "Xian Yuan" are taken from "Historical Records" and "Han Shu". Other parts are mostly taken from previous records. Some stories about characters from the Jin and Song dynasties, such as the dialogue between Xie Lingyun and Kong Chunzhi recorded in the "Words", are slightly earlier than the time of Liu Yiqing because these characters were at the same time, and may have been based on rumors at that time. Called by Mr. Lu Xun: "A textbook for the Ming Dynasty"

"Shishuoxinyu" mainly describes the lives and thoughts of the scholars and the situation of the ruling class, reflecting the literati in the Wei and Jin Dynasties The records of the thoughts, words and deeds of the upper class and the life of the upper class are quite rich and true. Such descriptions help readers understand the conditions of the times and the political and social environment of the scholars at that time, and also allow us to clearly see the so-called "Wei and Jin Dynasty Talks" style.

In addition, "Shishuoxinyu" makes good use of literary techniques of comparison, metaphor, exaggeration, and description, which not only retains many popular sayings but also adds infinite brilliance to the whole book.

Nowadays, in addition to the value of "Shishuoxinyu" for literary appreciation, the characters and deeds, literary allusions, etc. are also often quoted by later authors, which has a particularly great influence on later notes.
