From "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", a little vixen who is infatuated with an earthly man said: I am willing to use my three lives of fireworks to exchange your lifetime of confusion.
This passage expresses a lonely mood. The first three sentences describe the bustling street scene, how long is life, and a close friend is hard to find. The last three sentences describe the vixen's longing and suffering, her memories are short, and her fate is hard to save.
The long street is long, the fireworks are numerous, you turn on the light to look back, the short pavilion is short, the world is rolling, I sigh again.
Who made the string break in the end, and the flowers fell on the shoulders, in a trance. How many beauties are haggard, how many lovesicknesses are broken, only blood stains the ink fragrance and cries litter the graves.
The vast land can be destroyed with one sword, where will the bustling music and songs fall. Leaning against the clouds, thousands of pots hide my loneliness, even if others laugh at me in vain.
Allow him to be pure and turbid in everything, and he will fall into reincarnation just because of your smile.
I send you a song, no matter where you are at the end of the song.
Who will burn the smoke away and scatter the ties of vertical and horizontal ties.
Listen to the broken string and cut off those three thousand obsessions. The falling flowers are obliterated, and the wind is obliterated. If the flower is pity, it falls on whose fingertips.
The lights are shining, the voices are dim, and the songs are endless.
Like a beautiful family, the years pass by like a fleeting time. We can’t go back to the past, but we can’t go back to the beginning.
It seems that these stars are not last night, for whom the wind and dew stand at midnight.
Butterflies are beautiful, but after all, butterflies cannot fly across the sea.
Mountains and rivers are handed over, and I smile for you.
When all the floating flowers and waves are gone, I will be alone with you.

"Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" (referred to as "Liao Zhai", commonly known as "The Legend of Ghost Fox") is a collection of classical Chinese short stories written by Pu Songling, a novelist of the Qing Dynasty in China.
The first is the love story, which occupies the largest proportion in the book. Most of the main characters in the story are not afraid of feudal ethics and bravely pursue free love. Such famous works include "Lotus Fragrance", "Xiao Xie", "Liancheng", "Eunuch", "Crow's Head", etc.
The second is to criticize the imperial examination system for its devastation of scholars. As a victim of the imperial examination system, Pu Songling has a strong say in this aspect. "Ye Sheng", "Si Wenlang", "Yu Que Evil", "Wang Zi'an", etc. are all famous works of this type.
The third is to expose the cruelty of the ruling class and the oppression of the people, which is of great social significance, such as "Xi Fangping", "Promotion of Weaving", "Dream Wolf", "Plum Girl", etc.
They either expose the darkness of feudal rule, criticize the corruption of the imperial examination system, or resist the shackles of feudal ethics. They have rich and profound ideological content. There are the largest number of works describing the theme of love in the whole book, and they express a strong anti-feudal etiquette spirit. Some of these works express the author's ideal love through the love between flower demons and foxes.
