Chinese mythology

-

 Chinese believe when a person die alone during a battle field or suffer due to some reason or when they are left without burying with proper rituals, the soul turns to ghost and can be seen  only person in night times. 

This is similar as in Indian mythology. They belive the soul who wish to communicate with the people will come in their dreams. 

The belief of ghost in China have high influence in the life of people. As in every culture, this is to increase the worship of ancestors. They believe the dead souls return to redress the wrong. 

They even celebrate the ghost day to please tye soul by giving food and other precious things. This is observed on 15 th day of every seventh month in a year. They believes this is tye time where the mind set of tye soul becomes thinnest . This is similar in American mythology known as day of death.

The after life is a journey for them where they have to cross a bridge where Abyss judge them. If the soul found worthy then they are given a chance to look back to the former life once again and they are provided with a Mengpo Soup which make them to forget all those past in that life and either the soul goes to another body or they are send to heaven. If the soul is not worthy then they are send to hell. 

This is the belief of ancient China about ghost and after life.
