Talk:Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

message: The section on themes is very strangely written. For example, 'to complain the feudal system where everyone is not equal'. Leaving aside the strange English, there is the problem that 'feudal' is presumably not a term used by the writer himself. It is a term direct out of Marxist ideology used to dismiss pre-modern (read pre-socialist) social systems. The author may be protesting against social inequality and privilege, but to couch it in terms of 'complaining against the feudal system' is quite strange. Interpreting early-Qing stories in terms of modern political ideologies (and specifically modern PRC ideologies) seems dubious at best.

replies: text: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio →  – The vast majority of recent popular translations (Minford and Sondergard stand out) have rendered it as "Strange Tales", with Giles being the primary champion of "Strange Stories". JSTOR results also seem to suggest that "Strange Tales" is the preferred translation for Liaozhai zhiyi. Google search results are deceptive because a lot of hits for "Strange Stories" either are in reference to the Giles work or link to pages that actually use "Tales". Lastly, doesn't Strange Tales sound more pleasant than Strange Stories? The Crypt Keeper would agree... Kingoflettuce (talk) 15:56, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio →  – "Liaozhai zhiyi" is used much more than "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" or "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". A Google search for "Liaozhai zhiyi" produces a lot more results than one for "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" or "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". The article itself also uses "Liaozhai zhiyi". Mucube (talk • contribs) 21:04, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
