Extensive Records of the Taiping Era, Volume 8
Extensive Records of the Taiping Era (太平廣記)
The Extensive Records of the Taiping Era, compiled at the Song court in 977–978, gathers some seven thousand tales from the Han to the early Song: immortals and alchemists, monks and magicians, ghosts, foxes, dragons, dreams, omens and wonders, sorted by subject into five hundred scrolls. This eighth volume continues the ghosts: ghost soldiers, ghost weddings and burials, and the spirits who haunt scholars, temples and city wards. This complete new English translation is published in eleven volumes; this is Volume 8 of 11, and the whole set is also available as a bundle. Each volume stands on its own and can be opened at any page. Names are given in modern pinyin and the stories are rendered in plain, lively English, so they can be dipped into at random or read straight through, a feast for lovers of ghost stories, myth and folklore.
