@[email protected] is doing god's work here. He's putting together an Oceans 11 style team to translate the 酉陽雜俎. I wish I had the literary Chinese chops to join in, but maybe you can help out!
He calls it the "Phantom precursor text of 聊齋 packed with bizarre and amusing anecdotes, often presented with no didactic punchline. Contains some of the only true horror stories in the medieval corpus."

Folks on Twitter talking about the concept of humanity in classical texts. Anyone want to draw this? or feed it into an AI image machine?
"Yes! This is the description of 老子 in the 酉陽雜俎:
形長九尺，或曰二丈九尺。耳三門，又耳附連環，又耳無輪郭。眉如北斗，色綠，中有紫毛，長五寸。目方瞳，綠筋貫之，有紫光。鼻雙柱，口方，齒數六八。頤若方丘，頰如橫壟，龍顏金容。額三理，腹三志，頂三約把，十蹈五身，綠毛白血，頂有紫氣。"via: @[email protected]
