Lu Ji of the Jin Dynasty liked hunting when he was young. When he was in Emperor Wu, someone gave him a fast dog named "Yellow Ear". Lu Ji often takes it with him to Luoyang. The dog is very clever and can understand people. I once lent it to a friend 300 miles away. He knew the way, returned alone and arrived home that day. Lu Ji, an official in Beijing, hasn't heard from his family for a long time. He jokingly said to him, "I haven't heard from home for a long time." Can you take my letter back and bring home news? " Huang Er was so happy that he wagged his tail and responded loudly. Lu Ji tried to write a letter, put it in a bamboo tube and tied it around his neck. Huang Er ran to Wu along the post road. Whenever it crosses a river, it gently wags its tail at the ferryman, so that it can always cross the river. When he came to Lu Ji's home, Huang Er showed them a sound with a bamboo tube in his mouth. The family opened the bamboo tube, took out the letter and read it. Huang Er yelled at people again, as if he wanted something. His family wrote a letter, put it in a bamboo tube and tied it around his neck. Huang Er flew all the way back to Luoyang. Ordinary people have to walk for 50 days, while Huang Er only needs half the time to go back and forth. Later, the dog died and was buried 200 steps south of Lujijia Village. Graves made of earth are called "Huanger Tomb" by villagers.

The poem says:

In the third year of B, I went to Luo to burn incense and returned home for several miles.

A piece of paper is worth thousands of dollars, and Hongqiao is too heartless.

There are always two versions of ancient novels with different contents. One was written by Zu Chongzhi (429 ~ 500), the State of Qi in the Southern Dynasties. Most of what I remember are ghosts and strange things. Sui Shu Jing Ji Zhi Zazhuan (total 10). Now it has been lost. Lu Xun's Ancient Novel Hook and Sink was lost. Books in Tang and Song Dynasties often don't indicate the author when quoting Yi Shu Collection, which is easily confused with Ren Fang's Yi Shu Collection. For example, there are many articles quoted in Tai Ping Guang Ji, some of which are Ren Fang's. Now they can only be regarded as Zu Chongzhi's works, but they are not seen in Ren Fang's books. There are some stories in Lu Xun's edition, such as Mengkou Cave, Liyang Lake, Garden Guest, Shao Feng, Xiu Zhu Annals, etc., which are published in Xuyilu.

Ren Fang version also has it, but the text is slightly different, which needs to be verified. Contrary to Yan Zhitui's memories of murder, this book contains little Buddhism and immortals, and most of them are evil spirits, which is also a kiss with Zu Chongzhi's astronomical calendar. Only a few of them are euphemistic and readable, such as the story of Huang Miao eating himself after praying, which suffered from the scourge and has its own merits. In particular, the story that Huang Miao broke his word and became a tiger after being punished for five years has great inspiration for later novels and plays. There are many stories about ghosts in the book, but they are not so distinctive. Only a story of Yingchuan was revived after his death, and the ghost official took the opportunity to extort money, which directly became the prototype of the famous article Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio. Therefore, compared with other similar themes such as You, Zu Chongzhi's narrative of different stories has little influence on later generations. The second book, written by Ren Fang, a famous litterateur in the Southern Liang Dynasty, consists of two volumes. Ren Fang (460 ~ 508), a native of Le 'an Bochang (now Shouguang, Shandong), was good at writing watches, playing books and enlightening the application of prose. It was first seen in the novel of Chongwen Mu Zong, which was not recorded before the Tang Dynasty, so it is very suspicious. There is an anonymous preface in front of the book, saying that Ren Fang "has a collection of 30,000 volumes, so he collected different things from the secretariat and wrote two volumes of New Stories", which shows Zu Chongzhi's topic. Yan Kejun and Lu Xinyuan corrected the Song Dynasty (? ) This Record of Beginners quotes Ren Fang's Tales of Different Records, which seems to have existed in the Tang Dynasty. But there are things in the book after Wei Xiaochang and Beiqi River in Qing Dynasty, which are behind Ren Fang, at least not the original. Many materials in the book can be found in other ancient books. Notes are mostly anecdotes, similar to natural history, with poor storytelling. The General Catalogue of Sikuquanshu holds that "Shuowen Jiezi, which was quoted by miscellaneous books in later generations, will be full due to miscellaneous notes from other books". This edition has collected more than 300 books, which, like Zu Chongzhi's Yi Shu Collection, is also a fantastic book, rarely involving the common Buddhist content at that time, but the subject matter is much wider and richer than Zu Chongzhi's Yi Shu Collection. Myths and legends, geography of mountains and rivers, historical sites, folklore, historical anecdotes, exotic flowers and birds, etc. I remember everything and the content is quite complicated. Among them, the information items are similar to Zhang Hua's Natural History, but richer than Natural History. For example, Jingwei Reclamation, Wuling Peach Blossom Garden, etc. , are arranged in the history of a few statements to make a choice. In addition, some folk songs and proverbs compiled in the book can also show the social atmosphere and folk customs at that time. In addition, many articles also quoted some poems of predecessors, some of which have been lost, which shows the value of their materials. There is a "Sui 'an Series" reprinted according to Yin's family classics of Lin 'an Prefecture in the Southern Song Dynasty. Today: Ren Fang's Telling Different Stories, Jilin University Press, 1992.
