Notes from the Cabin - The Great in the Small

Like Pu Songling, most of the notes by Ji Yun consist of stories about wonders and crimes, fox-spirits, demons, and ghosts. The main idea of the stories, which runs through all his collections from the first to the last page, is the idea that good must triumph over evil. Through entertaining stories, the author attempts to explain to the contemporary reader what is good and what is bad. After all, the laws of the world are the same for both humans and the unclean, which sometimes turns out to be more righteous than humans themselves. "Notes from the Cabin 'The Great in the Small'" is published in the translation of the renowned sinologist O. Fishman with detailed notes.
