**The author of the original text is Liu Yiqing, a nobleman of the Liu Song Dynasty, who is the second son of Liu Yu's middle brother Liu Daolian, and succeeded to Liu Yu's younger brother Liu Daogui as his heir. Liu Daogui had martial arts, and after his death, he was posthumously crowned the king of Linchuan. Liu Yiqing was therefore named the king of Linchuan. History calls him"Hobby Wenyi", there are writings, attracting a group of scribes, thinking that the seal is subordinate, among which there are people as famous as Bao Zhao. All of the above can be found in the ancestral biography of Liu Song's "Book of Song" ("Liu Daolian" and "Liu Daogui"). The book "The Legend of the World" was probably collected by Bao Zhao and others for him. However, the "Book of Song" does not mention Liu's "The Legend of the World". In 1962, it was reprinted in the Preface to the New Sayings of the World"Written by Liu Yiqing of the Southern Song Dynasty", the old book "Ci Hai" also said so.

Analysis" In 1965, between Guo Moruo and Gao Ershi, there were different opinions on the authenticity of the Eastern Jin Dynasty calligrapher Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface". Gao Ershi's article did not agree with Guo Moruo's point of view, and after being reviewed and approved, it was published on "Guangming**". Subsequently, Guo Moruo wrote another article "(Refutation) Discussion", and before the official publication, he sent the sample to ***
**After reading it carefully, in Guo Moruo's article"The author of "The Legend of the World" is Linchuan Wang Yiqing"This term appears elsewhere in the proof"Wang Yiqing"The following explanatory text is annotated:"The author of "The Legend of the World" is Liu Yiqing, a great nobleman of the Liu Song Dynasty, who is the second son of Liu Yu's middle brother Liu Daolian, and succeeded to Liu Yu's younger brother Liu Daogui as his heir.

This explanatory text is to correct the mistakes in the proof, which reflects the meticulous spirit of introducing historical knowledge. "The World Says" is "The World Says New Words", and both titles are correct. The book "The World Speaks New Language" is known as the representative work of the first class of anecdotes in the history of Chinese literature, and it is very famous. It mainly records the anecdotes and deeds of the upper-class scholars and doctors from the late Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin dynasties, some of which are hearsay, and of course cannot be treated as faithful historical materials; However, it is also true that some of them reflect the social outlook and personnel exchanges at that time, and have high historical value, which can supplement the deficiencies in the historical records. In a later article, Guo Moruo cited the information in "The New Language of the World" as one of the arguments; However, when mentioning the author of this book, there is not enough clarity, and ordinary readers may mistakenly treat Liu Yiqing as Wang Yiqing, so *** made the above annotations.
The biography of Liu Yiqing (403-444 AD) can be found in the "Biography of the Clan" in volume 51 of the Book of Song and the "Biography of the Song Dynasty and the Kings (I)" in volume 13 of the Southern History. Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty, had three brothers, and although Liu Yu and the second Liu Daolian and the third Liu Daogui were half-brothers, they got along very closely with each other. Liu Yu fought the world, relying on the efforts of his two half-brothers, and after the establishment of the Liu Song Dynasty, he took good care of the prince of the clan. The third Liu Daogui died in the eighth year of Yixi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (412 AD), without a child behind him, and the door did not stand; After the establishment of the Liu Song Dynasty, Liu Yiqing, the second son of the second Liu Daolian, was succeeded to Liu Daogui as his son. Therefore, Liu Yiqing is the nephew of Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty, and was originally the biological son of Liu Daolian, and later succeeded to Liu Daogui and established a household. After the establishment of the Liu Song Dynasty, Liu Yu posthumously crowned his third brother Liu Daogui, who died early, as the king of Linchuan. So,"King of Linchuan"This title, or title, was naturally inherited by Liu Yiqing, so he became the prince of the clan and a great nobleman.
Liu Yiqing served as the assassin of Jiangzhou (Xunyang, now Jiujiang City, Jiangxi) in the sixteenth year of Yuanjia (439 AD), because of him"Hobby Wenyi", he brought several talented people around him, including the famous writer Bao Zhao. Bao Zhao was Liu Yiqing's official for 6 years from the 16th to the 21st year of Yuanjia (439-444 AD), and was the most important scribe in Liu Yiqing's mansion, so his biography is attached to the "Biography of Liu Yiqing", which is unusual. According to historical biography, after Liu Yiqing made the history of Jiangzhou until his death, he recruited a group of scribes to engage in compilation work, and among the works he wrote was the book "The Legend of the World". The book "Shishuo" is not recorded in the "Song Book: The Biography of Liu Yiqing", but it is mentioned in "The Biography of Liu Yiqing in the Southern History". **Say"The book "The Legend of the World" was probably collected by Bao Zhao and others for him. "And that makes a lot of sense. Because in ancient times, whenever there was a compilation, most of the scribes under his command contributed to him, and sometimes, the emperor himself may also be involved in it, but in any case, it is customary to only see the name of the emperor in the end.
Historical records and the author's signature of "Shishuo Xinyu" only show that Liu Yiqing is the author of this book, and there is no clear record that there is a merit of others. So,** used"Probably"The word, very discreet, but also very practical. In addition, the 1962 reprint of "Shishuo Xinyu" mentioned in the ** approval refers to the version based on the engraving of the eighth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1138 AD) in the Japanese collection, which was recopied by Zhonghua Book Company in 1962 (the first photocopy was photocopied by the then Literary and Ancient Books Publishing House in 1955). This edition is the earliest published of the several rare books that can be seen, and it is certainly the most authoritative.
Other editions were engraved by the Ming and Qing dynasties, and although there are rare books, they are not as valuable as the Song books. It can also be seen from this that ** is very expert in the choice of ancient book editions and cares very much. He used the signature on the Song book to prove that Liu Yiqing was the author of Shishuo Xinyu, and supplemented it with the relevant entries in the old edition of Cihai (printed in 1936), which was not ambiguous at all.
