Liaozhai Zhiyi, or Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, by Pu Songling, is respected as one of the two representing classical Chinese literatures, and nourishes generations of writers from different backgrounds and eras. Chinese contemporary writers, with self-awareness or not, have been under its influence. The paper is going to investigate the relationship between Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio and Chinese contemporary writings from the following four perspectives: theses and contents, the Folk Literature stands, aesthetics, and the contemporary re-writes of Liaozhai, and trace how Chinese contemporary writings inherit the spirit of the classic.

The introduction section elucidates the topic selection rationale, research status, and methodology. Chapter One, the Mysterious Elements in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, explored how narratives of ghosts, dreams, and animals bring new thematic variations to contemporary novels. Chapter Two primarily analyzes the relationship between folk values in contemporary novels and Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, concentrating on the perspectives of traditional dualistic folk morality (retribution for good and evil, the cycle of karma), complex perceptions on women, and the untamed "spirit of hermits and nature."

Building upon the first two chapters, Chapter Three focuses on the influence of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio on artistic techniques and aesthetic styles in contemporary novels, divided into four sections. The first section analyzes the influence of the stylistic elements in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio on contemporary epistolary novels by examining the concise and refined language style and contemporary epistolary novels. The second section focuses on the narrative elements of Strange Stories and explores the inheritance of Chinese classical narrative in contemporary avant-garde novels. The third section analyzes the relationship between Strange Stories and the metaphysical turn in contemporary novels. The fourth section highlights the inspiration provided by Strange Stories for the creation of Chinese magical realism from the perspective of the new spatiotemporal inventions. Finally, in the fourth chapter, through a detailed comparison between Liaozhai Xinyi and the original Strange Stories, the chapter examines successes and shortcomings of Wang Zengqi's reinterpretation of Strange Stories and attempts to uncover the literary propositions underlying Wang Zengqi's creative endeavor.
