What are the possible origins of the goat devil story in different cultures?
In Western cultures, as mentioned before, it's related to the clash between pagan and Christian beliefs. Christianity tried to overshadow pagan symbols, and the goat, being a significant symbol in paganism, was made into a symbol of the devil. In some African cultures, there are different interpretations. Some local superstitions may associate the goat with negative spirits not exactly the same as the Western 'devil' but still malevolent entities. This could be due to the behavior of goats during certain times, like when they seem to act erratically during a lunar eclipse or other natural phenomena.
In Middle Eastern cultures, there are also some elements related to the goat devil story. In some ancient Mesopotamian beliefs, there were demons that had characteristics similar to goats. These ideas might have influenced later religious and cultural concepts. The goat's appearance, with its horns and sometimes strange - looking eyes, might have been seen as something otherworldly. And as different cultures interacted over time, these ideas spread and evolved. For example, in some Arabian folktales, there are creatures that have goat - like features and are associated with evil deeds, which could be a remnant of those ancient beliefs.
In Asian cultures, while not as directly related to the Western concept of the goat devil, there are some parallels. In Tibetan Buddhism, for instance, there are wrathful deities that may have some goat - like features in their iconography. However, these are not the same as the devil in the Western sense but rather represent different aspects of the spiritual world. But still, it shows how the appearance of a goat - like form can be associated with something powerful and perhaps a bit fearsome across different cultural and religious landscapes.
Who could explain the relationship between the novels before the Tang Dynasty and the historical literature? Thanks!
Pre-Tang novels and historical biographies are two different types of works in ancient Chinese literature, and there is a close relationship between them. Pre-Tang novels referred to novels that appeared before the Tang Dynasty, such as Records of the Historian, Han Shu, Water Margins, Journey to the West, etc. Although these novels were not necessarily literary works, they all had high historical value and social significance because they reflected the social reality and historical events at that time. The plots and characters in these novels were representative and helpful for the study of ancient Chinese society and history. Historical literature was a literary work that used historical events and historical figures as the theme, such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margins, and Journey to the West. The main purpose of these novels was to pass on historical knowledge, tell historical stories, and at the same time have a certain artistic achievement. The characters and plots of these novels have certain historical limitations, so they are helpful for studying historical events and characters. There was an inseparable relationship between the novels before the Tang Dynasty and the historical literature. The characters and plots in the novels before the Tang Dynasty had a certain degree of historical representation, while the historical biography literature used historical events and characters as the theme to pass on historical knowledge and tell historical stories. Therefore, novels before the Tang Dynasty and historical literature complemented each other in content and influenced each other in form and structure.

I beg Su Qiu to be sadistic ~ The middle must be very tangled ~ The ending must be a happy reunion ~ Thank you very much ~
I can't provide you with the information you want. In Su Qiu's sadistic novels, Su Qiu was usually the heroine. She experienced many painful things such as losing her loved ones, being betrayed, being tortured, etc. But in the end, she stood up strong and achieved a happy ending. This type of novel usually gives readers a deep emotional experience, but at the same time, it may also cause discomfort and disgust.
