The phrase "everything goes wrong, there must be a demon" means that some things are not working properly, and there are many people and things hidden behind them. Suddenly something goes wrong, there must be something wrong, and sometimes there must be some reason for not speaking correctly. Sometimes things change suddenly. For example, in business talks, some things that were discussed before were suddenly cancelled by the other party, which may be for a reason. Of course, it is also possible to find other goods or the price is better.

"There must be a ghost in everything" is what Ji Xiaolan said, which comes from Yuewei Caotang Notes. The original sentence is "abnormal things are demons." "Everything goes wrong, there must be a demon", which means that if something happens too unexpectedly, it is unreasonable, very strange, and there must be fraud. Usually used as a metaphor, attractive conditions are often accompanied by a big trap. Yuewei Caotang Notes mainly tells the story of fox, ghost and god, aiming at persuading good and punishing evil. It intends to imitate the simple style of note novels in the Song Dynasty, and once enjoyed a high reputation in history.

Introduction of Yuewei Caotang Notes

Notes on Yuewei Caotang was written by Ji Yun in his later years, and it was written from the 54th year of Qianlong (1789) to the 3rd year of Jiaqing (1798). The book has 24 volumes and 1 196 articles, including five records, such as Listening and Speaking, Huaixi Magazine, Gu Juming Listening to It, and Continued Recording of Luanyang.

The whole work of Yuewei Caotang Notes is simple and concise. Whether it is written by people or narrative, there is not much pen and ink, just an outline, but it is very organized and quite emotional. His disciple Sheng Shiyan also summarized this: "Narrative tailoring, which runs through the whole film, is a mystery." As Mr. Lu Xun said, "Legislation is very strict, and its essence is to follow the Jin and Song Dynasties."
