Artistic features of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio;
The first is to use the legendary method to refute rumors. Traditional mystery novels generally describe the wonders of ghosts and gods, with short length and only a "rough outline", simple language and literary talent.
Tang legends's novels, on the other hand, are "full of narrative and flowery rhetoric", and the main body of the novel is the lover gesture of human beings.
