Abstract
The individual chuanqi of the Mid-Tang Dynasty established the model for chuanqi's style and its fundamental connotation. In terms of form and narrative pattern, the individual chuanqi of the Mid-Tang Dynasty was different from tales of the miraculous before the Tang Dynasty, early Tang Dynasty chuanqi and historical biographies. The individual chuanqi of the Mid-Tang Dynasty was intentionally created by literati to showcase their literary talent. In the lifelike and intimate narration, real-to-life details helped to shape the reality of characters' emotions and story development. In the process of circulation, the writing style of the individual chuanqi became a genre; at the same time, the works were canonized gradually. As a result, the name for this style was used by modern academics as a concept in the construction of early Chinese fiction history.
