Features: The Second Collection of Surprising Stories is a collection of fictional tales in the form of mock-conversational narratives. Compiled and edited by Ling Mengchu during the late Ming Dynasty, it was published in 1632 (the fifth year of the Chongzhen reign). Together with the author's earlier work The First Collection of Surprising Stories, it is collectively referred to as "The Two Collections of Surprising Stories." The collection comprises forty volumes, with one story per volume, totaling forty tales. Volume 23, The Elder Sister's Soul Journey Fulfills Her Deeds, the Younger Sister's Recovery Continues the Past, is identical to that in The First Collection of Surprising Stories. Volume 40 is lost, and it has been supplemented with the play Songgongming's Carnival Chaos to fill the gap. The author claims to have "collected and narrated a few extraordinary tales from ancient and modern times," with most of the themes borrowed from previous works. The ideological content of the book is relatively complex, but overall, it reflects, to some extent, the thought and values of the emerging urban class. The traditional morals it advocates also contain undeniable healthy elements. It has had a significant influence on the history of Chinese literature.
