Zu Taizhi zhiguai (ç¥Âå°ä¹Âå¿Âæª "Ghost Stories by Zu Taizhi" or "Account of Anomalies by Zu Taizhi" or "Zu Taizhi's Records of the Strange", etc.) or shortly Zhiguai å¿Âæª, is an early collection of fantastic stories (of the zhiguai xiaoshuo genre) compiled by the scholar Zu Taizhi (, courtesy name (zi): Yuanchen å Âè£) during the Eastern Jin period (317âÂÂ420). The work spans two scrolls (juan) and features accounts of miraculous events, supernatural phenomena, and individuals with magical powers, including historical figures such as Dongfang Shuo (ä¸Âæ¹æÂÂ), Zhang Hua (å¼ åÂÂ), and Tao Kan (é¶ä¾Â). Some stories depict romantic relationships between ghosts and humans, for example in the tales Chen Kui (éÂÂå¤Â) and Lushan furen (åºÂ山夫人).
The language of the collection is noted for its richness and elegance. Although the work was lost shortly after its compilation, the Republican-era scholar Lu Xun (é²Âè¿ ) reconstructed 15 surviving fragments in his collection Gu xiaoshuo gouchen (å¤å°Â說é¤æ²Â). Additional smaller fragments are preserved in the collections Shuofu () and Gujin shuobu congshu (å¤ä»Â说é¨ä¸Â书).
The Hanyu da zidian f.e. uses the edition of the Gujin shuobu congshu.
