The Soush�n h�uj� (Latter Notes on Collected Spirit Phenomena), attributed to the celebrated poet T�o Qi�n (365-427), is a compilation of anecdotes and stories known as zh�gu�i ('records of the anomalous') that document strange and unusual phenomena the author observed in his lifetime. Intended to serve as a sequel to Gan Bao's (d. 336) Soush�nj� (Collected Spirit Phenomena), the original text was lost but was reconstructed in the late M�ng dynasty. This volume presents an annotated translation of the entire M�ng version of the Soush�n h�uj� as well as of an additional set of surviving stories that were identified and restored to the text by the modern scholar Li Ji�ngu� . The book also includes a history of the Soush�n h�uj� text, an examination of its linguistic style and characteristics, a discussion of the historical nature of its contents and how it fits into the zh�gu�i genre, providing a window onto medieval Chinese society and culture, and a brief overview of recent zh�gu�i scholarship to guide readers who hope to continue their exploration of the genre.
