What Wikipedia says

Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio (Chinese: 聊齋誌異, liáozhāi zhìyì) is a collection of Classical Chinese stories by Qing dynasty writer Pu Songling, comprising close to 500 stories or "marvel tales" in the zhiguai and chuanqi styles, which according to some critics, served to implicitly criticise societal problems.
