Soulstealers: The Chinese Sorcery Scare of 1768
Philip A. Kuhn
During the reign of Emperor Ch’ien-lung, mass hysteria broke out among the common people, who feared that sorcerers were roaming the land and clipping the ends of men’s braids in order to steal their souls. In his chronicle of this epidemic of fear and the official prosecutions that ensued, Kuhn opens a window on eighteenth-century China.
