Xiaowen xubi 謏聞續筆

Xiaowen xubi 謏聞續筆 "Further jottings of anecdotes" is a collection of stories compiled during the early Qing period 清 (1644-1911) by an unknown person.

The content of the book of 4 juan focuses primarily on events and anecdotes concerning the fall of the Ming dynasty 明 (1368-1644), with detailed accounts of Li Zicheng's 李自成 (1606-1645) rebel forces and the deeds of the Southern Ming emperors Longwu 隆武 (see Prince of Tang 唐王 (1)) and Shaowu 紹武 (see Prince of Tang 唐王 (2)). It also records the loyal officials and righteous scholars who met their deaths with courage, along with their poems and writings of grief and indignation. Rich in historical anecdotes from the late Ming period, the work serves as a valuable supplement to official historiography, preserving materials that fill gaps left by the dynastic histories.

The text is included in the series Biji xiaoshuo daguan 筆記小說大觀.
