Dongfang Shuo The "Book of Han" biography of Dongfang Shuo (tr. "Jester Extraordinary" by Watson 1974:79-106, adapted to pinyin, cf. Minford and Lau 2000:352-6.) characterizes him as "rich in words, a man of jests and witticisms, an actor and a buffoon."
Dongfang Shuo Based on these egregiously conceited words, the emperor concluded that Dongfang Shuo was extraordinary and "ordered him to await the imperial command in the office of public carriage."
Dongfang Shuo Dongfang was impatient for an imperial audience and devised a scheme that involved frightening the court dwarfs who worked in the stable. He told them the emperor was going to have them killed because they could not do the work of ordinary men, and suggested that the next time Wu passed by, they should kowtow and beg for mercy.
Dongfang Shuo Two early texts are traditionally attributed to Dongfang Shuo. The (c. late 2nd century) "Shenyi jing" (神異經 "Classic on Divine Marvels"), with a commentary by Zhang Hua (232-300), is a geographically arranged collection of wonders and marvels (Campany 1996:43-45). The (c. 300) "Shizhou ji" (十洲記 "Records of the Ten Continents") is a long speech by Dongfang to Emperor Wu on mythical geography, in which (Campany 1996:53) "this "fangshi"-adviser describes the outlying terrestrial paradises on each of the Ten Continents, four islands, and two mountains."
Dongfang Shuo The (c. 195 CE) "Fengsu tongyi" ("Comprehensive Accounts of Popular Customs") (tr. Giles 1948:46-47, cf. Strickman 1994:47), which repeats Dongfang's conceited self-recommendation, says he was "commonly said to be the spirit of the planet Venus, and to have passed through a number of incarnations." When Dongfang was a court official, "he kept a troupe of singers and actors, and did not concern himself with State business. [Liu Xiang] in his youth often questioned him about the prolongation of life, and found him full of shrewdness and insight. His own contemporaries all describe him as the prince of good fellows, and irresistible in argument."
