Biji xiaoshuo daguan 筆記小說大觀

Biji xiaoshuo daguan 筆記小說大觀 "Great Overview on Brush Note Style Novellas" is a series of collectanea (congshu 叢書) specialized on "brush-notes" style (biji 筆記) novellas (xiaoshuo 小說). It includes 219 titles and was first published in 1960 by the Xinxing Press 新興書局 in Taiwan.

A reprint was published in 1983 by the Jiangsu Guanglin Guji Keyinshe 江蘇廣陵古籍刻印社 as a photomechanical reproduction. A second edition was published in 1995 by the same publisher. Gao Si 高斯, the chief editor, describes that he collected a lot of ancient prints from private collections surviving the literary inquisition of the Cultural Revolution. He decided to publish these in a single edition. The edition was produced on the base of carefully examined texts that were all subject to text-critical comparison of various editions.

The novellas cover a wide range of topics and themes, from philosophy and statecraft to history, arts, literature, astronomy, medicine, magic, agriculture, culture and social questions, and therefore provided abundant material for the study of a wide range of themes.

A supplement was published in 1962, Biji xiaoshuo daguan xubian 筆記小説大觀續編, by the same publisher in Taiwan. It includes 81 books.
