Language games, storytelling, songs, rhymed speeches, informal fu 賦, as well as various modes of acting and expression contributed to the "smooth eloquence" of guji performances that succeeded in indirect remonstrance through the paired actions of facilitating 滑 and stopping 稽. In their own ways, these anecdotes also remind us of possible connections and dynamics between performance and its textual recounting, between oral culture and its written records.

However, as Anna M. Shields points out in her study of the Guoshi bu as mid-Tang political and social critique, the original objectives of these miscellaneous collections and how they selected and organized their material remain important and deserve due attention.2 Instead of reading large collections with hundreds of accounts such as the Guoshi bu, this paper examines a small late Tang compilation of sixteen anecdotes, titled Songchuang zalu 松牕雜錄 (Miscellaneous Notes under the Pine Window), to reveal its dis...
