The Shuo Yuan (Chinese: 說苑), variously translated as Garden of Stories, Garden of Persuasions, Garden of Talks, etc., is a collection of stories and anecdotes from the pre-Qin period (先秦) to the Western Han Dynasty. The stories were compiled and annotated by the Confucian scholar Liu Xiang. In many cases multiple versions of the same story are included, making the book a valuable source for the study of early texts.
