包wrap 罗include 万ten thousand 象phenomenon

Pu Songling蒲松龄 was one of the great authors of the Qing Dynasty. He wrote a collection of short stories named Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

It had 12 volumes with 491 stories. Each story features some type of ghosts or spirits. The author used these fantastical figures to explore real social problems. The book has been wildly popular in China since its publication - both for its haunting stories and what it reveals about social life in the Qing dynasty.

Because the book created such a large number of rich and distinct characters, people used 包罗万象 to praise its comprehensiveness. 包罗万象 is now used to describe anything of an encyclopedic nature.

【拼音】bāo luó wàn xiàng

【解释】包罗:包括;万象:宇宙间的一切景象,指各种事物。形容内容丰富,应有尽有。

【出处】《黄帝宅经》卷上:所以包罗万象,举一千从,运变无形而能化物,大矣哉,阴阳之理也。
