This set includes two books, "Strange Stories from Alleys" and "Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas", which tell strange and strange stories. The story of "Strange Story in the Alley" comes from the story column of Tan Shinsuke, a well-known answerer of Zhihu literary stories. It features real characters and historical backgrounds. It combines a variety of popular reading elements such as fantasy, suspense, and reasoning, and is also connected with some folklore and customs. For example, "Beheading the Dragon's Horns" is a metaphor for Yuan Shikai, and "Breaking Hell" is connected with the historical background of the Republic of China and Taoist culture. It reflects and satirizes reality through absurdity and magic, showing the cruelty of war, discrimination against women, charlatans and other phenomena, making people feel the causal cycle of good and evil being rewarded, and giving people a positive perception. "Stories of Mountains and Seas" is a cute and funny version of the story of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". Hydra, Taotie, Xingtian, Minshan, Wangji and other great demons and gods in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" have unique and cute contrasts in the book, which are very different from the images in their impressions.
