Summary[edit]
DescriptionLiterati in a charity hall around a spirit-writing (fuji) table, with deities above. Dian shi zhai hua bao (1889).png |
English: Litography in the illustrated magazine Dian shi zhai hua bao (1889), p. 34, volume Wu ([1]). It depicts the technique of fuji (pranchette spirit-writing) during the Qing period, also called "descending of the phoenix" (feiluan). The pencil is held by mediums, through which characters are written, allegedly under direction of the spirits or deities (in the cloud above). According to the back flap of Goossaert, Vincent (2022), Making the Gods Speak: The Ritual Production of Revelation in Chinese Religious History, the scene shows literati in a charity hall where spirit-writing occurs, and gods are above. |
