Summary "北夢瑣言" by Guangxian Sun is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century.

The narrative presents a blend of historical observations and cultural commentary that aims to preserve the legacy and lessons from the past for future generations. The opening of "北夢瑣言" introduces a series of vignettes that highlight key aspects of life and governance during the Tang dynasty. It features various characters, including emperors, officials, and common people, showcasing their virtues and vices through a collection of stories. For example, it mentions Emperor Xuanzong’s fondness for poetry and governance, contrasts it with Emperor Xizong’s indulgent tendencies, and illustrates the conflicts and dynamics among officials like Li De-yu and Bai Juyi.
