When exploring ghost and monster literature, I found that the emotions people invest in these legends often reflect the issues of the times and the collective thoughts of society. In particular, the correspondence between the transformation of human and ghost characters and emotional changes in "Liaozhai Zhiyi" provided me with inspiration. Yokai images and legends often reflect people's inner fears and suggest the things they crave it led me to think about the fear and concerns that people have experienced in recent years due to the problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. 
This global crisis has disrupted the habits and lifestyles of many people, and led to various problems.

Based on this idea, I decid­ed to use Yokai images to visualize the changes in people and the environment during the pandemic. Using the portrait of the Z generation based on my interview research, I further investigated the changes in psychological health, social life, Study and work, and consumption habits using data research. I summarized these changes in four infographics. I imitated the tangible form of recording- books- to record people's thoughts and behavior patterns during this uncertain period. 
Through this project, I hope to provide a new perspective to understand the impact of the pandemic on society and to encourage deeper reflection on how to face the changes and uncertainty
 在鬼怪文学中作者们所描述的故事与人们赋予这些传说故事的情感往往反映了时代问题社会的集体意识。特别是《聊斋志异》中人鬼角色的转变与情感变化之间的对应关系给了我灵感。妖怪的形象和传说通常折射出人们内心的恐惧和渴望,这让我联想到近年来由于新冠疫情引发的问题,人们所经历的恐惧这一全球性危机扰乱了许多人的生活习惯和方式,并导致了各种问题。基于这一想法,我决定利用妖怪形象来可视化疫情期间人类和环境的变化

结合基于访谈研究绘制的Z世代群像,我通过数据研究进一步探讨了心理健康、社会生活、学习与工作以及消费习惯的变化,并将这些变化总结为四幅信息图。我模仿书籍这一记录形式,将人们在这一不确定时期的思考与行为模式记录下来。
通过这个项目,我希望为理解疫情对社会的影响提供一个全新的视角,并鼓励人们更深入地思考如何面对变化与不确定性
