Shi Shuo Xin Yu mainly recorded the words and deeds and anecdotes of some famous people from the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty. The characters in the book are all real people in history, but some of their remarks or stories are hearsay and do not conform to historical facts. This book has a considerable space and is a mixture of books. For example, the stories of individual characters in the Western Han Dynasty, such as Guizhen and Yuan Xian, were collected from Historical Records and Hanshu. Other parts are also collected from previous records.

The earliest published edition today is a three-volume edition carved by Dong An in the eighth year of Song Shaoxing, with a total of 36 volumes. The first volume of the book is "virtue", "speech", "politics" and "literature", which just happens to be the four subjects of Confucius, indicating that the ideological tendency of this book has a Confucian worship side. But throughout the book, there are many contents about metaphysics and Buddhism, and their ideological tendency is not so simple.

Shi Shuo Xin Yu is a representative work of China's metaphysical "note novel" in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it is a short story with notes and anecdotes. It can be seen from the stories of words and deeds of Wei and Jin scholars in Shi Shuo Xin Yu and related materials that talking about metaphysics has become a fashion in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Metaphysics is based on Taoism of Laozi and Zhuangzi, which has had an important impact on the thinking mode, living conditions and even the whole social atmosphere of Wei and Jin scholars.
