《崇文读书馆:聊斋志异(节选)》由蒲松龄著，为读者描绘了一个诡异奇幻的世界，借描绘狐仙鬼怪，反映人间百态。具有浓郁的浪漫主义色彩。书中既有对漆黑如墨的现实的不满，又有对怀才不遇、仕途难攀的不平；既有对贪官污吏狼狈为奸的鞭笞，又有对勇于反抗、敢于复仇的平民的赞叹；而数量最多、质量上乘、写得最美、最动人的是那些人与狐妖、人与鬼神以及人与人之间的纯美爱情。(Chongwen Library: Strange Stories from Liao Zhai(Excerpt), written by Pu Songling from Qing Dynasty, offers readers an uncanny yet fantastic world.
