These articles all obey ghost wife article'point on the details: The husband doesn't go home; the wife waits for her husband; at last, the husband comes back and sees his wife's soul. Both of the two novels praise wife's pudicity and clinging, and delineate some cacodemons wanting dally with heroines on character depiction. But in some details, Ueda Akinari adds societal factors in the novel, and then the novels have relations with times. For example, the reason of leaving home for Katushiro is donning business not begging an officer, and this kind of describe is related with society. Ueda Akinari describes Shimosa as a common woman differs from'Jiaxing famous prostitute', and thus the image building matches with the topic of article to clap.

Ueda Akinari changes the peony lamp of The Tale of Peony Lamp to the caldron of The Caldron of Kibitsu, and it is different because peony lamp the caldron act in each novels. The caldron here mostly add mysterious atmosphere, but peony lamp only has indictable action. Secondly, the images of heroes in two novels are obviously different.

First, The Lust of the White Serpent times with social life in Japan and we can see the trace of Japan society from the novel. Secondly, Ueda Akinari stresses natures of snake on portray the image for Manago. From this point, Ueda Akinari is more inherited Japanese traditional culture of snake spirit legend. He abandons goodness of White Snake, but reserves snake wife's terrible and heartless image in the Japanese tradition. In the end, Toyoo is very different from Xuxuan on portray the image. Although Toyoo has some disadvantage of lechery and envious of fortune, but he gowns up when the ruthlessness reality testing him. Toyoo completes a self-conscious process of gradual instauration man's ambition when he owns a man ambition and dare to sacrifice for the other people. When the author clarifies human's nature weakness he also clarifies a truth for reader in the meantime: A real person can depend on his own strength to win the weakness of himself and this is exactly wonderful topic thought that the text Ueda Akinari wants to express.When Ueda Akinari writes Tales of Moonlight and Rain, he may not consider those differentias. Maybe just " spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings"drives him to write.
