Introduction : the problem of rebirth -- Envisioning the dead -- The unquiet dead and their families, political and agnate -- Questionable shapes : how the living interrogated their dead -- Doomed for a certain term : the intimate dead -- Rebirth reborn.
Explores how Chinese authors, including Daoists and non-Buddhists, received and deployed ideas about rebirth from the third to the sixth centuries CE. This book aims to uncover an array of non-Buddhist accounts that provide detail on the realms of the dead, their denizens, and human interactions with them.
