Features: Gufuyuting Zalü (also known as Fuyuting Zalü), is a note-taking work by the renowned Qing Dynasty poet Wang Shizhen. This book was written after Wang Shizhen retired from office and resided in seclusion. In his preface, he states that the book "has no general rules, no order, hence the name Zalü," and it was completed in the year Kangxi Yiyou. The Zalü was finalized after this, likely beginning in that year. Examining the entry "Zhang Fujiu, Compiler" in the Zalü, it mentions "Now, three more years have passed, Wuzi," where Wuzi corresponds to the 40th year of the Kangxi reign. This indicates that the book's completion could not have been earlier than this year.
