Book Description
Based on the course with the same name: A cultural history of the strange in pre-modern China. How did the Chinese people explain the existence of ghosts, demons, immortals, fox spirits, (maybe even unicorns) and many other strange creatures? What do the encounters between humans and these creatures tell us about the pre-modern Chinese worldview? And how much of that tradition is still alive in China now?
