| Summary | "庚巳編" by Can Lu is a collection of narratives and anecdotes written in the late 15th century. The book features a variety of stories that blend elements of folklore, history, and the supernatural, touching on themes of fate, fortune, and the human experience through encounters with the divine and strange occurrences. The opening of "庚巳編" introduces a series of intriguing vignettes featuring historical and mythical figures, as well as significant events that intertwine the mundane with the extraordinary. Among the early stories, we see references to the mystical birth of a child who becomes an emperor, the establishment of an academic institution, and rumors of superstitions surrounding various characters and their fates. Each tale seems designed to evoke a sense of wonder and contemplation, showcasing how moments of fortune or misfortune shape the lives of individuals, and the narrative sets the stage for a larger exploration of humanity's relationship to providence and destiny.
