In Pu Songling's hometown of Shandong, in the Yimeng Mountain area, people call stories such as myths and legends "Liaozhai Branch". "Liao Zhai Chao Zi (two volumes)" was selected by Dong Junlun and Jiang Yuan from countless stories collected and compiled over decades. "Liaozhai Branch" (two volumes) has nearly a million words and more than a hundred short and long stories, all of which are oral literature from the land of Qilu. Some are beautiful, some are magical, some are romantic, and some are grotesque... The language is simple, the stories are full of vitality, and they fully display the historical features and human feelings of the world. They are the true living fossils of folk culture. The new version of "Liao Zhai Huanzi (two volumes)" deleted a dozen shorter stories from the 1984 version of "Liao Zhai Huanzi" and added a dozen short stories from the 1987 version of "Liao Zhai Huanzi (Sequel)". Finally, a total of 101 stories were selected. Excellent young illustrators were invited to make more than a hundred prints and inscriptions for all stories to create a classic and pure version of folk tales.
Reader comments
I miss my father. I miss the experiences he told us about Liaozhai Changzi when we were young. In my heart, this is not just a book, it also carries my father's love for us. Now I have begun to tell my son the touching stories in the book, just like my father told us stories back then. Pass on culture and family affection.
Every story makes me feel like I'm in that ancient era, feeling people's joys, sorrows, and joys. This is not only a book, but also a cultural heritage. It reminds me of "Grimm's Fairy Tales", both classics of oral culture. I will recommend it to my friends so that more people can learn about these precious folktales.
