A STUDY OF PU SONGLING AND HIS LIAOZHAI ZHIYI IN CHINA IN THE FIRST 20 YEARS OF THE 21ST CENTURY — CENTERING ON THE WORKS PUBLISHED IN THIS PERIOD

Abstract

In the twenty years of the 21st century, there are more than one hundred books published about Pu Songling and his Liaozhai zhiyi in China. New changes have taken place in both the focus and the perspective, and new features have emerged. Although the focus of the researchers is still on Liaozhai zhiyi, their attention to the author, version and text has gradually shifted to the study of the book’s cultural elements, influence and acceptance, and the adaptation and translation of Liaozhai zhiyi has become a research hotspot. In addition to Liaozhai zhiyi, Liaozhai liqu and Pu Songling’s other works have been fully studied in this period.
