Dive Deep into the World of Song Dynasty Supernatural Tales

This monograph presents the first detailed history of Chinese xiaoshuo prose concerning the miraculous, covering the 10th to 13th centuries. It is the third and final volume in a dedicated series, following studies on the 1st-6th and 7th-10th centuries.

The book examines Song dynasty chuanqi novellas through 15 standalone examples and 22 prose collections that include such tales. Notable collections like the anthology Taiping Guangji and Hong Mai's Yijian Zhi are also analyzed in depth. Given the scarcity of prior research, the author introduces numerous new sources to Russian scholarship, providing detailed descriptions of text histories and their study in China, supported by recent Chinese research literature.

The work includes selected annotated translations, offering insights not only into Chinese literary development but also into the traditional worldview. This volume is intended for Sinologists, literary scholars, historians, and anyone interested in classical Chinese prose.
