Netizens are not only busy singing covers, but also creating rich interpretations and secondary creations around the lyrics. The lyrics of "Rakshasa Sea" are complex and difficult, and they are in line with Pu Songling's original satirical view of "taking ugliness as beauty", and it is more appropriate to interpret it as a satire of social weirdness.
