《搜神记》是晋代干宝搜集撰写的记录神仙鬼怪的著作。
干宝官至晋朝散骑常侍。据记载年轻时父亲去世,其母善妒,在埋葬他父亲时趁机将他父亲的妾推入棺材一起活埋。过了十年,他母亲去世,和他父亲合葬,开棺后发现他父亲的妾伏在他父亲尸体上,尚有体温,救回家后又活了数年。另外据说他兄长也是死了"气绝数日"又活过来了。因此引起他对鬼神事的兴趣,写了这部《搜神记》。
这部书共分二十卷,主要是搜集各种民间关於鬼怪、奇跡、神异以及神仙方士的传说,也有採自正史中记载的祥瑞、异变等情况,其中不乏情节重复的故事,每个故事的叙述非常简短,文学水平也不是非常出色,但对中国后世的传奇小说发展影响很大,以后很多传奇小说如唐人传奇、《聊斋志异》等的写作方法和《搜神记》相似。胡震亨在《搜神记引》称:"余得《搜神记》及《搜神后记》读之,乃知晋德不胜怪而底於亡也。"意思是指干宝认為司马氏是以阴谋取天下,得位不正。

...The text is a prose rendition of Nizami's 12th-century poetic masterpiece, in which he reshapes the legends of Majnun, the quintessential romantic fool, into a tale of the ideal lover.
