《搜神后记》在对鬼的态度上有着独特之处。它对鬼,或尊敬或同情,或戏谑,或寄托希望,并没有厌恶和恐惧。这有着深层的文化原因:首先,长江中下游地区巫术盛行相关;其次,与鬼文化中的祖先崇拜相关;最后,与小说的创作过程和社会背景相关。 “Soulsword” in the attitude of the devil has a unique. It has no misgivings and fears about ghosts, respect or sympathy, or banter, or hope. This has deep cultural reasons: first, the prevalence of witchcraft in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River; secondly, the ancestral worship in the ghost culture; and finally, to the creative process and social background of the novel.
