Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio (youth Edition of the Classics)
by (qing Dynasty) Pu Songling Zhang Xiaofan
About This Novel
"Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" is mostly based on folklore and unofficial anecdotes, showing us a colorful world of ghosts, foxes and flower demons. Pu Songling said in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio": "Gathering armpits into fur, in vain to continue the records of the netherworld: The writing is just a book of loneliness and anger. "So, it is not only a collection of classical Chinese short stories that "search for strange things" and "deal with absurd things", but it is also a book of loneliness and anger in which the author "touches the current situation" and "uses persuasion to punish". "Pu Songling's paintings of gods, ghosts, foxes, and monsters represent ordinary people, imagining strange things, which are the vicissitudes of life. Humans and gods interact, humans and ghosts alternate, human beings change, and flower demons and foxes are alienated into all living beings, which constitute the most harmonious beauty of Liaozhai. "Strange Stories from a Liaozhai Studio" has become a collection of novels, myths, and fables." The book "Strange Stories from a Liaozhai Studio" has been commented upon by many people in the past dynasties. Because its depth, breadth, and clarity greatly exceed similar works in literary history, the Qing Dynasty thinker Chen Tingji called it "an unprecedented work."

Well, I just want to know what Nie Xiaoqian's chapter meant. Didn't Ning Caichen say he would never take a concubine? Why did he take a concubine and give birth to two children in the end? Σ(っ °Д °;)っ
I feel like one chapter is too short for one story, and I don't write it in detail and just skim it over.
The teacher asked us to write good words, good sentences and good paragraphs before we read it.
Finished reading! Not enough
It is said that Pu Songling has a wife who loves him very much!
It's pretty good, but some chapters are missing.
A very good book
This book is very good. Although it talks about some monsters and ghosts, they are all good ghosts.
Two words, beautiful.
This book is very beautiful
