對於《聊齋誌異》中的書生、女性、鬼、狐形象的探討，學者專家們的研究成果頗豐，然另一類佔書中相當篇幅的次要人物－道士與和尚的相關探討有限，本文試圖借由這兩類人物，從篇章的統計、形象的意涵、言行、心理的刻劃、人物性格對情節的影響等，突顯作者的用技巧與其所反映的時代面貌。

Scholars have plenty study on images of literati, feminine, ghosts and foxes. However, the minor roles, Taoist priests and monks who occupy lost of passages are seldom to be discussed.
