Liaozhai vernacular: Fantasy revelations in human fireworks
Love + Fantasy + Repayment + Good Retribution
"Liao Zhai" is never just a collection of stories about ghosts and foxes, but a book of wisdom that tells the story of human nature and the world in vernacular. Those flower demons, foxes, and anecdotes are just fantasy coats wrapped around reality. Inside, there is the judgment of good and evil, the examination of desires, and the cherishment of true love in the world.
Without the obscurity of classical Chinese, the vernacular version makes these stories more relevant to life. There are no awkward words and sentences, only straightforward insights. It is not preachy or deliberate, but in the intertwining of gods, ghosts and mortals, it reveals the complexity and warmth of human nature - it not only satirizes hypocrisy, but also praises kindness, and also gently interrogates secular rules.
Reading "Liao Zhai Vernacular" is not to indulge in nihilistic fantasy, but to understand the real world in the fantasy plot. Those encounters across yin and yang and the choice to stick to one's heart can still resonate today, allowing us to pick up the simple truths about being a human being and dealing with the world through easy reading.
Purpose: Post fantasy, dig out people's feelings, and strengthen resonance
