Strange Tales of the Tang Dynasty is a must-see for 2022 wuxia mysteries. Inspired by zhiguai xiaoshuo 志怪小每, this is a collection of slightly supernatural mysteries set in the Tang Dynasty. This form of folk literature was very popular during the time and is not limited to ghost stories, but also includes strange or unusual phenomena. Fifteen centuries later, these fantastic tales continue to inspire imagination and are a genre that is well explored in contemporary media. Well before Tsui Hark’s successful and gripping film from 2010, Detective Dee was already the most popular protagonist of the genre.
