纪昀 / Ji Yun

纪昀 / Ji Yun enters the wiki through 28.聊斋志异：不为君王唱赞歌，偏向苍生说鬼话, where [[MihuanChishu|蜜獾吃书]] uses him as a contrast to [[PuSongling|蒲松龄]]. The source says Ji Yun did not much admire [[LiaozhaiZhiyi|《聊斋志异》]] because he thought its mixed style was neither properly “zi” nor properly “shi”.

The page is source-scoped. Ji Yun matters here less as a full Qing biography than as the representative of a more orthodox notebook and scholar-official taste. Through [[YueweiCaotangBiji|《阅微草堂笔记》]], the episode frames him as interested in strange events, but less willing than Pu Songling to enter fox and ghost psychology, folk desire, and unruly fiction.
