于七之乱 / Yu Qi Rebellion

于七之乱 / Yu Qi Rebellion is the war-shadow background in 28.聊斋志异：不为君王唱赞歌，偏向苍生说鬼话. The episode uses it to read [[LiaozhaiZhiyi|《聊斋志异》]] stories such as 《野狗》 and 《公孙九娘》, where the horror comes from corpses, implicated civilians, unburied grief, and social collapse as much as from ghosts or monsters.

The source’s point is literary and social rather than a full military history. [[PuSongling|蒲松龄]] can avoid direct accusation while letting the landscape of dead bodies, deserted suburbs, and failed return home preserve the memory of violence. In the wiki, this makes the rebellion a case for Folklore Trauma Encoding and Strange Tale Social Critique.
