Kao Pan Yu Shi (考槃余事, Desultory Remarks on Furnishing the Abode of the Retired Scholar; also called Art of Refined Living or Pastimes Most Entertaining) is a 1590 compendium on the art of living by Ming dynasty author Tu Long([屠隆).[1][2]
Desultory Remarks has fifteen treatises:
- Calligraphy and books
- Rubbings
- Paintings
- Paper
- Ink
- Brushes
- Inkstones
- Zithers
- Incense
- Tea
- Potted plants
- Fish and birds
- Mountain studio
- Necessities of life and dress
- Utensils of the studio
Art historian Craig Clunas suggests that the Desultory Remarks is essentially a compendium on the art of living gathered from various other existing sources, such as Gao Lian's Eight Treatises on the Nurturing of Life, (for which Tu Long wrote a preface). Whether or not this is the case, Tu Long's discourses certainly had greater immediate recognition and influence; they were much more widely cited in later collections, and were a primary source for Wen Zhenheng's Treatise of Superfluous Things.[3]
