Alternate Title: Shan Shui Xiao Du

Credits: Produced by Pei Rong Lin

Summary: "山水小牘" by Mei Huangfu is a collection of stories written in the late 9th to early 10th century. This work presents an array of narratives, often intertwined with Taoist philosophy and themes, reflecting the complexities of life, nature, and the supernatural during the Tang dynasty. The tales revolve around various characters, including scholars, Daoists, and mystical figures, weaving together moments of enchantment and moral lessons. The opening of "山水小牘" introduces readers to Zhao Zhiwei, a Daoist master residing on Jiu Hua Mountain, who seeks to cultivate a deeper understanding of the universe through isolation and study. It captures an evening when he and his disciples ascend Tian Zhu Peak to enjoy the moonlight, revealing their philosophical inclinations and camaraderie. This is juxtaposed with accounts of other characters, such as Han Wengong, who experiences a prophetic dream related to a vendetta, and Yuan Zhen, who discovers a mirror in a fish he has caught. These initial events set a tone rich in mysticism and the exploration of human behavior in relation to divine intervention and the natural world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
