There are many reasons. The most important thing is that Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio has made many people remember this book in the adaptation of TV series and movies. In fact, from the name alone, if some people who don't know much about it see it, they may think it is similar to Compendium of Materia Medica, so most people who are eager to read ghost stories may abandon the title of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio.

First, film adaptation.

In fact, most people may not have read these two books, but most people know so much about Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio because of the adaptation of movies and TV series, so that it has now become synonymous with the supernatural. But if you really tell the story in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, you will probably remember foxes and ghosts. And even if you think about it carefully, you may not remember the plot in the TV series, but these gimmicks are enough for most people to remember this book.

Second, the origin of the two books

Speaking of these two books, there is still a certain origin, because the author of Reading Notes from Wei Caotang originally wrote this book because he didn't like Pu Songling, and in his book, there will always be a teacher who is often played by ghosts or even prostitutes, in order to satirize Pu Songling, a rural teacher.

Third, the feeling of reading.

Secondly, compare the readability of these two children's books. Yuewei Caotang Notes is not as easy to understand as Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, and most of the stories in Yuewei Caotang Notes have obvious irony. To put it bluntly, they just want to tell you some truth, and Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio can be interpreted in two parts. If you don't know a word, you may be fascinated by these stories and then pass, while the other part has a certain literary background.
