	Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Liaozhai Zhiyi (traditional characters: 聊齋誌異; simplified characters: 聊斋志异; "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" or "Strange Tales of Liaozhai") is a conflation of 431 supernatural tales written by Pu Songling 蒲松齡 (1640 – 1715) during the early Qing Dynasty (1644 – 1911).
		Written in classical Chinese (wenyan or guwen), it was first circulated in manuscript form before it was published posthumously by Pu's grandson in 1740.
		Liaozhai Zhiyi has inspired countless Chinese film adaptations, including those by King Hu ("Painted Skin"), Tsui Hark徐克 ("A Chinese Ghost Story" series) and the Taiwanese director Li Han-Hsiang.

		Inversely, these materials may also be studied to see how the organization of the collection as a whole and how the text of each individual story change in this process of copying and recopying, and how such changes might affect the reading and interpretation of the collection by contemporary readers.
		In the case of Liaozhai zhiyi the changes made in the manuscripts would appear to be minor when compared to the far more drastic changes that were made by the editors of the three printed editions of the collection of the second half of the eighteenth century.
		Liaozhai zhiyi is not alone in this respect, as we may observe the same pattern in the case of works of vernacular fiction such as Hongloumeng and Lüye xianzong.

		One of the most striking and oldest of motifs in the tradition of fox fairies is the idea that foxes could not only transform into human form, but that they were capable of a kind of "spiritual" advancement.
		This image proved to be extremely suggestive to later thinkers and writers, and became basis of important themes in the late flowering of Ming and Qing fox stories and anecdotes.
		Pu Songling, the author of Liaozhai zhiyi (Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio), is especially well known for his many fox fairy heroines.

		In Liaozhai, the body is problematized as a signifier of selfhood.
		The figure of the phallus as a symbol of power is detached from the physical body and dissociated from conventional concepts of sex and gender.
		On the thematic level, the deconstructed bodies in Liaozhai may be read as embodiments of class and gender identities transformed through an alternative fictional discourse of self-expression.

		These stories are taken from a work-in-progress entitled Heart’s Reason: Stories of Affection from the Liaozhai Zhiyi, edited and translated by Susan Wan Dolling.
		Liaozhai Zhiyi--literally, “Strange (Historical) Stories from a Studio for Leisurely Conversations"--is a posthumous collection of five hundred-odd entries that the author Pu Song-ling made into little books called juan and circulated among his scholar friends during the last thirty or so years of his relatively long life (1640-1715).
		Although the stories met with immediate success upon publication and are now classic, it was ironically not Pu’s life ambition to be known as the author of these “strange tales.” For the most part, Pu Song-ling viewed himself as a failed “imperial scholar” chasing the empty dream of public office.

	Shaping one's place: Jizhou inscriptions...; Anne Gerritsen (SSCR 1999)
		Judith T. Zeitlin’s 1993 study of Pu Songling’s Liaozhai zhiyi demonstrates how the topics of Liaozhai tales can be related to late Ming interest in such topics, and thereby shed light on the intellectual framework within which the collection came into being.
		By the 19th century, when a fictional tradition had become well-established, Liaozhai is read as a work of fiction, where author and reader agree to “suspend their disbelief” (Zeitlin 1993:41).
		When social historians wish to use these literary collections of tales, it seems to me to be important that they take account of the valuable scholarship on the genre.

	The Tufted Shoot: February, 2002
		I can still recall one of my old Chinese professors waxing eloquent on the topic of fox-fairies and their propensity for seducing lonely scholars away to a bad end.
		The motif of the fox-fairy--a fox that becomes human through magical means--is an old one in Chinese tales of the fantastic, appearing in tales more than 1,500 years old and becoming particularly pervasive (and sophisticated) in Pu Songling's Qing dynasty story collection Liaozhai zhiyi.
		I hadn't realized the motif was also an element in Japanese folklore, leading me to wonder if it slipped over as part of Japan's first great cultural borrowing from China during (roughly) the Tang dynasty, or if it evolved independently and in parallel.

		In "The Bondmaid," Ah Bor, who is raped by Half-Uncle and dies after the abortion, later returns to haunt him in the form of a ghost.
		The bondmaid's revenge resonates with Liaozhai Zhiyi [Strange stories from the leisure studio], a famous collection by the Ch'ing Dynasty writer Pu Sungling, which features such characters as ghosts and fox-spirits.
		As Pu's ghost stories deal with social issues like corruption among government officials and tyranny over the weak, and many ghosts are portrayed as examples of ideal human existence, (Indiana Companion 563) Lim seems not only to justify the bondmaid's revenge, but also expresses her yearning for a society where women are no longer oppressed.
