Feng Chuang Yi Cao

Features: This book is another excellent collection of classical Chinese short stories following Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, comprising three sections and twelve volumes, with a total of 138 works. The original book was attributed to Changbai Haogezi, but according to modern research, it was actually written by Qing Dynasty Prince Qinglan, the sixth son of Yin Wende. In terms of both content and artistic techniques, the book deliberately imitates Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. The protagonists are mostly supernatural beings, spirits, and fox fairies, with intricate and winding plots, vivid character portrayals, and particularly the numerous chapters on marriage and love, as well as the records of ethnic minority customs and cultures, all of which are highly engaging to read.
