「傳奇」是一種怎樣的文體？

Tang chuanqi can be broadly divided into four main groups by subject matter: cautionary tales or legends that instill moral lessons, tales of romance or marriage between young scholars and alluring maidens, tales lamenting the rise and fall of dynasties, and tales about wandering knights or heroes who expose evildoers and restore justice.
