The book contains more than 400 folklore and stories about gods and monsters, covering supernatural phenomena such as gods and warlocks, elves and ghosts, karma and retribution. These short and concise stories not only reflect the imagination and exploration of the unknown world by the ancients, but also reflect the social concepts and folk beliefs of the time. Among them, stories such as "Dong Yong prostituted himself" and "Han Ping and his wife" became important materials for later literary creation. The writing style of the work is concise and full of charm, creating a precedent for Chinese fantasy novels and laying the foundation for the development of Tang legends.
