狐鬼启示录：梁晓声说《聊斋》

Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio is a marvelous book which is called the peak of Chinese classic short stories. Although all the stories seemingly talk about ghosts, foxes, fairies and monsters, they actually write about human feelings and the ways of the world. The book has a great influence on the literary creation of later generations. The Revelation of Fox Spirits and Ghosts is a new work of cultural essays written by Liang Xiaosheng on the interpretation of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. In this book, the author not only evaluates and analyzes Stories from a Chinese Studio from aspects such as text features, literary and artistic value, characters and story features, but also dialyzes all kinds of Chinese social attitudes and the historical truth taboo in official history and depicts the sadness of Chinese people, especially Chinese literati, the entanglement and collision between human nature and morality, as well as the wild ambition hidden deep in their hearts from the text and content clues vaguely revealed in the work. It can be regarded as an interesting work which is full of humanistic care and deep thinking and evaluates the characteristics of Chinese culture from the micro perspective. In addition, the book is attached with many short stories created by the author by imitating the writing style of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, which reproduces the charm of the modern version of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio and the absurdity of the reality, in order to pass judgment on the society and reflect on the reality according to the fate of different characters and the development of different events in the novel.
