Kao Pan Yu Shi (考槃余事,Desultory Remarks on Furnishing the Abode of the Retired Scholar) is a 1590 compendium on the art of living by Ming dynasty author Tu Long([屠隆).
Desultory Remarks has fifteen treatises:
- Calligraphy and books

- Inkstones
- zither)
- Incense
- Tea
- Potted plants

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.[1]
