Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio is a famous mystery novel in Qing Dynasty, written by Pu Songling. Liao Zhai is Pu Songling's study, while Zhi Yi records the wonders of ghosts and gods. Pu Songling was keen on fame, but failed many times in the imperial examination. After that, I took teaching as my career and lived a poor life. Pu Songling is very keen on folk customs. He likes listening to people tell stories about ghosts and gods. As soon as he hears an interesting story, he will write it down quickly. After learning about this situation, fellow travelers from all directions often write down the stories they hear and send them to Pu Songling as the material for his creation. Over time, it laid the foundation for the creation of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio. When dealing with these folklore, Pu Songling changed his spoken language into classical Chinese, which largely kept the original appearance, so this book can also be used as a reference for studying the social background at that time. In Yang Dahong, Pu Songling tells the story of Yang Lian. Yang Lian is a real person, born in the Ming Dynasty, nicknamed Da Hong, upright and upright, with official rank up to the left. In the fourth year of the apocalypse, Yang Lian wrote to impeach eunuch Wei Zhongxian and died in prison the following year. There are many legends about him in Hubei. According to legend, Yang Lian was a famous scholar in Hubei before he became famous, and he thought highly of himself. He choked up and fell ill, dreaming that a fairy told him to find a flute player under the willow tree by the river. The next day, Yang Lian came to the river. Sure enough, he saw a Taoist playing the flute, so he gave him all his gold and asked him to help him cure the disease. The Taoist priest threw all the gold into the river, and Yang Lian felt very sad when he saw it. Taoist priests are immortals who want Yang Lian to live forever. Seeing that his yearning for dust didn't disappear, he had to give up, so he patted Yang Lian on the back of the neck and cured him. At the end of the article, Pu Songling commented with Yi Shi's pen: "It is better to have one more saint in the world than one more fairy in the sky." Yang Lian's "pretentiousness" is mentioned in the article. This idiom is often used to describe that he thinks he is clever.
