The earliest source is actually Nie in Pu Songling's collection of classical Chinese short stories "Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio", a poor scholar who collects accounts for others in order to support his family. The love tragedy between the weak scholar Ning and the enchanting female ghost Nie runs through the ghost story from beginning to end. This "ghost love" made the audience full of sympathy and regret for the poor female ghost "Xiao Gan". Someone has assumed more than once: "If Xiao Gan is not a ghost, it would be great!" In fact, in the chaotic world where people and ghosts are indistinguishable and evil spirits are in power, the so-called "boundary" between people and ghosts is actually very vague. There is a certain interest relationship among ghosts, ghosts and demons. The two use each other, and they are suspicious and hard to prevent, just like this world. This is the true meaning of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio: satirizing the present era with the help of ghosts and gods. The story in the book is about ghosts, but it is actually about people and real life. Tsui Hark, who has made money series movies, has a deep understanding of this. Therefore, the same idea runs through the whole series of money: although ghosts look gloomy and terrible, they may not harm people; And some people, seemingly kind and kind, hide knives in their smiles. Sometimes, the intrigue between people is hypocritical and insidious, even more terrible than those hideous ghosts. The drama "Qian" expresses this idea through the mouth of the female ghost "Xiaoqian" and the reclusive Taoist "Yan Chixia", which just embodies the essence of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio.
