Chinese Chronicles of the Strange

«Nuogao ji» (Records of Nuogao) is the title of five <I>juan</I> of the ninth-century miscellany entitled <I>Youyang zazu</I>, by Duan Chengshi (c. 800-863). «Nuogao ji» is made up of anecdotes and notices that focus on the strange or supernatural. Simultaneously reminiscent of earlier <I>zhiguai</I> works and characteristic of Tang <I>xiaoshuo</I> writing, this book is an important text for the study of both change and continuity in Chinese informal narratives. This is the first complete English translation of «Nuogao ji.»
