There are 431 Liao Zhai who have come down to us. The novels struggle with the behavior of
the Manchus, especially for raising performance. This aspect of Liao Zhai's work has been
unanimously expressed in Chinese literary criticism.
After Chinese scholar Yang Jenhai discovered the author's work in 1962 and published three
volumes of Liao Zhaizheyi with commentaries and commentaries, which contained more than 70
stories than those published in the Ching-keting bookstore, Ching-keting ’’Published a bookstore
in 1766 and worked on restoring the original text of a number of short stories in the author’s
manuscript2.
Yan Zhenay, who was the first to compare the two layers of the collection, can focus on two
differences between individual words or sentences that may have been accidentally dropped due
to the book’s carelessness. In his view, the omission of 23 hieroglyphs, even when they were
deliberately removed (as a result of censorship), did not undermine the overall meaning of the
story of the Girl in the Green Dress.
Since only two (or even one) "exchange" hieroglyphs in Van Chen's story have been replaced by
a homonymous auxiliary load, the meaning of the word Ma is "how can one benefit from
appearance?" changes in shape.
The first part of the story tells of hypocrites from among the Chinese: "They changed their
appearance and began to serve the invaders, accepting their dress, customs, and even hairstyles."
In this story, the meaning of the sentence is modeled by replacing the two hieroglyphs.
The savagery of the invaders, which was brief but explicit, was removed from the collection as
"Informed Devils," "Little Coffins," "Woman of the Soul Family," "Separation during the
Uprising,"3 and other stories.
We should note we find the stories written against the Manchus not only in the stories they did
not write, but also in animosity of the ones they liked, which did not ignore or hide the hidden
meaning in them. It is, of course, written like Aesop's fables in the style of "half a cup under a
bowl" that Pu Songling skillfully used, requiring additional commentary. It is at this point that
we can see what tricks he used in the fox's story, "The Cunning of the Fox
" , 捉狐

his attention to a hero named Sung Wong

who couldn’t catch the fox no matter what.
In Pu Songling's work, he has publicly exposed animals as animals without exposing his protests
during his lifetime.
During his lifetime, Pu Songling caused a wave of popular uprisings across the country.
Pu Songling could not help but sympathize with the rebels and enjoy their heroism. The author
skillfully describes the ruthlessness of the Manchu rulers in suppressing these uprisings. In her
novels, a woman kills a Manchu soldier, preferring to kill herself rather than be ashamed when
the century falls. ("A woman from the Jan family").
In his works, the author condemns those who oppose the state. For example, in "The Great Piti of
the Three Dynasties," "General She," and "The Man Has a Child," he accuses the traitors who
left the Min family and defected to the enemy, and so on5.
Scholars who study Liao Jai's Strange Stories categorize these short stories. In particular, W.
