metadata.value: The reconstruction of the author’s original strategy in the collection Liao Zhai
  zhi yi (聊齋誌異) implies the ascertaining of the extent to which the text reflects the
  ethnographic and folklore facts contemporary for Pu Songling. The article offers an
  attempt of the approach based on the examination of a miniature tale called Making
  Animals (Zao chu, 造畜). Researchers see its origins either in the Tang story Third Lady
  of Banqiao Bridge (9th century) or in current demonological beliefs. An analysis of the
  general structure of the miniature and its lexical features has been conducted. On its
  basis, as well as on the basis of the comparison of the text with earlier works about the
  transformation of human beings into animals, we conclude that the sources of the tale
  were ethnographic information obtained by the author in everyday life, and the story
  Third Lady… combined with several widespread folklore motifs.
