"Strange Tales from Liaozhai" Pu Songling is a ghost book value editor

To sum up, there are countless ghost books. In addition to the interaction of certain factors such as economic system, social culture and superstructure, the most important reason for this is probably that ghosts have their unique allure and appreciation value.

First, ghosts satisfy people's curiosity for novelty. The psychological instinct of human beings is to be curious, which is necessary for human development and social development. Ghost books, on the other hand, can satisfy people's curiosity. Ghost books generally use romantic expressions such as bizarre, weird, dreamy, and imaginary, and the stories are more vivid, twisty, and infectious. Literary and artistic works with ghosts as the theme conform to the development law of seeking innovation and difference in literary and artistic creation, and they can promote each other.

Second, ghosts are convenient for sustenance of feelings belonging to the author. Under the autocratic rule of the feudal rulers, the literary prison was greatly revitalized. It is difficult for people to express their ideals and aspirations, so people use non-human forms to express them in a vague and tortuous way. In fact, this was also a means of resistance for the author against the society of the time. Therefore, in the many ghost books, we can see those who condemn corrupt officials and corrupt officials, ridicule people's warmth, ridicule the world's weak manners, and so on. Third, ghost works are a mirror of people and society. The author objectifies the essence of human beings and society in ghosts, so that people can observe themselves and human society in these works. In the preface to "The Legend of Killing Ghosts", Wengshan Yishi wrote bluntly: "If the lady is a ghost, and is not a ghost but a ghost, then she is not humane, and she is becoming more and more ghostly. It will be cut off. ā€
