Spirits and Deities of the Chinese Underworld. Scientific Reference Edition

Before you is an encyclopedia of the afterlife in Chinese beliefs, which recreates the picture of traditional ideas about the structure of the world of the dead. Echoes of these beliefs are still an integral part of Chinese culture.
Information about... the worship of the servants of the afterlife has been carefully collected not only from written sources but also during numerous field studies conducted by the authors over the past ten years in various regions of China.
During these studies, all the photographs presented in the book were taken, many of which are unique.
The book discusses the deities of death and their helpers, the restless spirits and wandering ghosts, the structure of the subtle body of a person, and the rituals for honoring the deceased.
You will learn about the types of hells, sacrificial money and offerings, the Chinese "Book of the Dead", the Departments of the Afterlife and the Registers of Fate.
The book is intended for the widest audience and opens the series "Saints and Demons in Eastern Beliefs".
