Summary:	Compilation of 120 Manchu monolingual "old man's tales," which the author, Sungyun (1752-1835) of the Marat clan, claims to have heard from the elders as he was growing up. Topics range from ordinary political, military, and domestic affairs to more scholastic ones such as classical learning, translation, philosophy, and history. The eight volumes are named after the eight hexagrams.
