La fiction fantastique était alors le seul moyen de représenter les mœurs et de critiquer la politique, la religion. Dans un monde irréel où chaque phrase côtoie pourtant le tragique, des renards-démons se changent en lettrés pour donner des leçons de conduite aux rois et aux ministres," Nguyễn Thế Nghi (阮世儀) translated this work into Vietnamese. His work is called Tân biên truyền kỳ mạn lục (新編傳奇漫錄).
