"Chuan" can mean "miraculous"
'There is some difference of opinion whether stories from later dynasties should be called chuánqí, but most scholars accept many of the stories in Pu Songling's 17th century collection, Liaozhai Zhiyi (Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio) as such.[3] In this case, chuánqí is sometimes translated as "marvel tales."'

The Yabla dictionary translates "chuang" to "strange" or "miraculous". Thus, "marvel tales" seems correct to me...

Also, it seems that, in china, common usage of the term "chuan qi" is reducing to "tale" as such. For example, there is a hit called "Chuan Qi" or "Legend". You'll find it easily at YouTube, e.g. with "Tong Li Legend" or "Liu Zi Ling Legend"...

Found good source
Hello, I found a very detailed source called chinaknowledge.de, provided by the university of tübingen in germany (all english). Look under "/Literature/Terms/chuanqi.html" --92.196.67.206 (talk) 16:48, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
