Shenguailu 神怪錄

Shenguailu 神怪錄 "Records of gods and demons" is an early collection of stories from the Southern Dynasties period 南朝 (420~589). The author is not known.

The book appears to have been lost early, and only one fragment survives: the story Wu Xiang 吳詳, quoted in the Tang-period 唐 (618-907) encyclopaedia Beitang shuchao 北堂書鈔. It is included in Lu Xun's 魯迅 (1881-1936) series Gu xiaoshuo gouchen 古小說鉤沉. The story narrates how Wu Xiang encountered the spirit of a beautiful girl. Lu Xun's collection includes another fragment recording the story of Wang Guo 王果 that is actually part of Kong Shenyan's 孔慎言 Shenguaizhi 神怪志 from the Tang period, rather than of the earlier Shenguailu.
