A delightfully humorous and engaging collection of short anecdotes by the renowned literary figure Lin Shu, written in a vivid style. 诙谐可喜，文笔生动，著名文学家林纾短篇掌故集 Miscellaneous Records of Weilu is a collection of short notes and essays by Lin Shu, totaling more than 230 pieces. Most of the stories are based on what he personally heard and witnessed, covering unofficial anecdotes of officialdom since the Qing Dynasty, lingering folk customs, literary anecdotes, and more. The language is concise and the narration vivid, and it well reflects the characteristics of the late Qing and early Republic of China - an era when new trends were just beginning and old and new cultures coexisted. Qian Zhongshu commented on Miscellaneous Records of Weilu: "It records many intimate and bawdy matters, revealing the true nature of this old gentleman - delightfully humorous." 《畏庐琐记》是林纾的一部笔记体短文集，共230余则，大部分故事均为其亲闻目睹，涉及清代以来官场野史传闻、民间流风遗俗、文学掌故等等，语言简练，叙述生动，很能反映清末民初风气初开、新旧文化并立的时代特征。钱钟书评价《畏庐琐记》："多载狎亵事，窥见此老本性，诙谐可喜。" Lin Shu (1852-1924), courtesy name Qinnan, pseudonym Weilu, also known by other pen names such as Leng Hongsheng, Jian Zhuoweng, and Li Sou, was a native of Min County, Fujian (present-day Fuzhou).
