Features: This book primarily focuses on novel notes, attempting to reconstruct ancient folk beliefs from the Tang and Song dynasties as a cross-section. Due to the vast distance of time, the records in historical novel notes were mostly written out of scholars' whims, hardly systematic or scientific. However, without knowing the what, one cannot understand the why. Therefore, a significant portion of this book involves organizing and sorting the materials, conducting necessary research, and based on this foundation, conducting certain exploration and analysis to clarify several important prevailing concepts at the time.
