Features: Gufuyuting Zalü (also known as Fu'yuting Zalü) is a note-taking work by the famous Qing Dynasty poet Wang Shizhen. This book was written after Wang Shizhen retired and resided in seclusion. In his preface, he describes the book as "without a table of contents or chronological order, hence the name Zalü." It was completed in the year Kangxi Yiyou. The Zalü was finalized after this date, likely beginning in that year. Examining the entry "Zhang Fujiu, Compiler" in the Zalü, it mentions "Now, three more years have passed, Wuzi." Wuzi corresponds to the 40th year of the Kangxi reign, indicating that the book's completion could not have been earlier than this year.
