"歸田錄" by Xiu Ouyang is a historical account written in the Song dynasty. This work appears to be a compilation of various anecdotes, observations, and reflections on the customs and politics of the time, particularly involving the imperial court, notable figures, and societal norms. The author, reflecting on his own life and interactions, likely intends to record events that would otherwise be forgotten by formal historians. The opening of歸田錄 presents a self-reflective prologue from Xiu Ouyang, who addresses critiques of his scholarly pursuits and his role within the imperial court. He expresses a sense of frustration over his inability to effect change during his years of service and discusses his desire to document the lesser-known stories and moments that occur amidst the grand narratives of history. Following this, the text begins to recount various anecdotes regarding courtly behavior, interesting conversations among scholars, and reflections on significant political events and figures in the Song dynasty, setting a tone that blends historical narrative with personal insight.
