Abstract: Folk beliefs in the Tang Dynasty had a profound influence on the creation of novels in the Tang Dynasty, while novels as a special literary genre profoundly and systematically show the specific content of folk beliefs, and the two contribute to each other, becoming important documents for the study of each other. The specific tiger stories in the notebook novels reflect the characteristics of folk beliefs in the Tang Dynasty, such as divine characteristics and the idea of destiny, and the prosperity of folk beliefs in the Tang Dynasty provides rich choices for the subjects, themes, and styles of the notebook novels, and the two corroborate with each other, demonstrating the situation that folk beliefs and novel themes present after choosing each other in the process of creation.
