The Ghost Festival in Medieval China Paperback - 1996
by Stephen F. Teiser
First line
IN THE SEVENTH MONTH of 840, the Japanese pilgrim Ennin (793-864) made his way southwest from Mount Wu-t'ai (in present-day Shansi) toward the T'ang capital of Ch'ang-an.
From the rear cover
Even a brief experience of the ghost festival leaves an impression of spirited diversity. My own encounter with the annual celebration began in Taiwan on September 5, 1979, when string after string of firecrackers punctuated an already fitful night of sleep. All month long hungry ghosts had been wandering the earth, released from their usual torments in the dark regions of hell to visit their families, who welcomed their own kin but warded off stranger ghosts with noisemakers and smoke.
