Novels about lost events - Itsuji shosetsu (English)
In China, a collection of anecdotes about famous people or records of detailed events not recorded in historical records. A representative work of this kind is the Shishuo Xinyu (New Tales of the World), written by King Liu Yiqing of Linchuan in the Southern Song Dynasty. It contains anecdotes about famous people from the Later Han to the Eastern Jin dynasties, categorized into 36 categories, including virtue, language, politics, literature, generosity, boldness, guilelessness, wisdom, revelation, frugality, valor, and infatuation. While the Shishuo Xinyu is a collection of anecdotes centered on people, the Guojibu (Compendium of National History) by Li Zhao of the Tang dynasty is a collection of anecdotes centered on events.
