First, classic Chinese literature is often written in a style that differs significantly from modern Chinese, posing challenges for contemporary readers. Second, some of these works serve not merely as entertainment but as records of extraordinary events and folklore, employing straightforward language without elaborate storytelling. Our new adaptations preserve the original plots while presenting them in modern standard Mandarin with a more engaging narrative. This approach allows readers to enjoy the stories while learning common and useful vocabulary and expressions. The 15 stories are: 1. The Ghost Pressing Down on the Bed 咬鬼 2. The Ghost with Painted Skin 画皮 3. The Headless Ghost 无头鬼 4. Hanba the Drought Demon 旱魃鬼 5. The Lonely Wandering Soul 孤魂野鬼 6. The Vengeful Spirit 冤鬼 7. Zhong Kui Kills Ghosts 钟馗杀鬼 8. The Fox Spirit 狐狸精 9. The Tree Demon 树妖 10. The Water Demon 水鬼 11. Soul Snatching 勾魂 12. Underworld Official 鬼吏 13. Deceased Son Visits in Dream 亡儿托梦 14. Body Possession 附身 15. Reincarnation 投胎 Furthermore, we provide bilingual explanations of key terms at the end of each story. This helps our readers understand the story better, enrich their reading experience, and further explore Chinese mythology, beliefs, and culture.

The six ghost stories include: The Soul of the Great Bell The Story of Ming Yi The Legend of Zhi Nu The Return of Yan Zhenjing The Tradition of the Tea Plant The Tale of the Porcelain God This completely reset and pinyin-converted edition of Hearn's classic work contains a new foreword by Victoria Cass, which places the stories, their author, and his love for the strange and mysterious into perspective.
