  • Pudu (Universal Salvation), Keelung City, Taiwan.<br />
> Temple Pudu, at Zhuputan Temple. Every year, one of the major 7 clans in Keelung hosts this huge Pudu event. This year the Tshu Clan is responsible.<br />
<br />
Originally, the Universal Salvation ceremonies were held continuously rotating from one household to another until the end of Ghost Month. Following government efforts to curb lavish temple activities, Pudu was, for the most part, consolidated on the 15th of the month. Nowadays, Pudu is often split into inviting the ghosts on the first, feeding them on the 15th and eventually shooing them away again on the 29th. Every year a different clan hosts a temple-feast led by Taoist or Buddhist priests to appease the ghosts, additionally entire neighborhoods, shop owners, markets and even large firms are setting up makeshift tables laden with all kinds of foods (at times whole pigs or goats), flower bouquets, cookie combos, crackers, cigarettes, rice wine, and soft drinks. As the old saying goes, in case there’s not enough food on offer, the spirits may be offended, which could lead to a bad year ahead. Or worse, some even believe that if the ’good brothers and sisters’ are not fed properly, they will cause trouble for one's ancestors in the parallel world.

  • Pudu (Universal Salvation), Sanxia - near Taipei<br />
> Temple Pudu, hosted by Nana Chen alias Ji Gong Shi-Fu (the buddhist folk hero) who now possess her body to engage in worldly affairs. The medium heals people who are stalked by bad luck (or spirits) by negotiating with both worlds.<br />
<br />
Let’s assume ghosts do exist, they must all have gathered here in Sanxia today, as Nana’s team has just outclassed the services of a major charity catering. To be frank, this feast could cater easily for a whole army of hungry spirits, including all their ghostly pets. There's even a feeding section for animal spirits with some miniature paper spa imitations for not yet reincarnated dog and cat spirits. Toddler spirits can enjoy themselves too, asides from a wide array of sweets, porridge, juice, and cereals, they'll receive all sorts of fun stuff like a ukulele and a passenger jet crafted with paper mâché. This year they also crafted two huge ships, too. These, together with the piles of hell money for the adult spirits, will be cremated later on. Unlike the smaller ’messages’, such major burns have been relocated to proper incinerators. Ghost Month was recently nicknamed National Pollution Month, because of the amount of ash generated by people burning gifts to send to the dead. Especially the urban territories of the island are now enforcing new laws to meet all criteria of 'eco-friendly ghost worshiping'. Commonly, all the food will be going either to the participants and the local orphanage, just after the ghosts have taken their share.

There's even a feeding section for animal spirits with some miniature paper spa imitations for not yet reincarnated dog and cat spirits. Toddler spirits can enjoy themselves too, asides from a wide array of sweets, porridge, juice, and cereals, they'll receive all sorts of fun stuff like a ukulele and a passenger jet crafted with paper mâché. These, together with the piles of hell money for the adult spirits, will be cremated later on. Unlike the smaller ’messages’, such major burns have been relocated to proper incinerators. Ghost Month was recently nicknamed National Pollution Month, because of the amount of ash generated by people burning gifts to send to the dead. Especially the urban territories of the island are now enforcing new laws to meet all criteria of 'eco-friendly ghost worshiping'. Commonly, all the food will be going either to the participants and the local orphanage, just after the ghosts have taken their share.

  • Keelung’s French cemetery, on the fourth morning in Ghost Month – an easily overlooked narrow place where some 600 colonial troopers had been buried after France invaded Taiwan in 1884-85, angry with the Ching-dynasty rulers over a Vietnamese territorial dispute. Today, the annual Pudu Universal Salvation ceremony honors those who have lost their lives to the conflict and maladies like malaria, cholera, or dysentery. Many of them have been burried nameless. In order to close the credibility gap of the tribute's authenticity, a pair of lipsticked pseud-naval soldiers stands by, surveilling all the ghostly offerings including fruits, stacks of spiritual currency, and to the joy of the delegation from the French embassy which came over from Taipei to strengthen political ties, there’s even some bottles of Bordeaux and French baguettes. Aside from ghost money, two fake battleships crafted with paper mâché (each one imitating the respective nation’s navy) will be burned after formal speeches and the head monk’s blessings.

Ghost Month Zhongyuan Jie (or, to be politically correct ’month of wandering spirits’) is fairly celebrated across the Orient to pitty and support the roaming spirits. But the restless souls don’t crave for stacks of ghost money (joss paper) only. They’re hungry, too. Spiritual feeding highlights the essence of all Zhongyuan Pudu rites which span throughout the month. <br />
<br />
Temples, entire neighborhoods, shop owners, markets and even large firms are setting up makeshift tables laden with all kinds of foods (at times whole pigs or goats), flower bouquets, cookie combos, crackers, cigarettes, rice wine, and soft drinks. As the old saying goes, in case there’s not enough food on offer, the spirits may be offended, which could lead to a bad year ahead. Or worse, some even believe that if the ’good brothers and sisters’ are not fed properly, they will cause trouble for one's ancestors in the parallel world. <br />
<br />
To top it all off, a washbasin, toothpaste, and brush plus a towel in front of the offering table are awaiting the ’good brothers and sisters’ after the meal. The distinct spiritual donations thus show ghosts to be an inferior kind of ancestor, emphasizing their pitiful need for alms, just like living human beings with no kin. <br />
<br />
After the ghost took their offerings, a lot of hell money (joss paper/ spiritual currency) will be burned with the hope that it will materialize again for the ghosts.

> Company Pudu Pudu hosted by Hu Shu Fen and her team of Daqing Stock Trading company. Once all offerings are arranged, the colleagues line up for prayers led by CEO Kevin, completed by the characteristic bowing.  To lure the spirits, joss sticks are neatly marking each dish, cigarettes and even the washbasin. So, food first, cash later. I’m fascinated by the fact that a company whose primary goal is to profit off short-term gains from stock price fluctuations (online), is burning a great deal of spiritual money (offline) to back its economical fortune with otherworldly goodwill. It’s like the flickering flames in Daqing’s backyard are devouring several time zones, dimensions, currencies, and virtues in one go. The whole burning procedure lasts for half an hour or so until all the paranormal cash has exhausted, and if the Chinese saying "the higher the fire, the more hungry souls are around" was true, then we’re now enveloped by hundreds of pushing and shoving vagabond spirits catching their due paycheck from eleven months. You may recall the last scene of the movie Pitch Black when Vin Diesel is surrounded by creatures making sure not to astray the light, that’s how it probably looks like here if you’d merge both worlds. The company has increased its profit for 5 years in a row.

The company has increased its profit for 5 years in a row.

> Pudu offering table of Chen Family. Daughter Beryl Chen came over from Taipei to celebrate with her family. The joss incense serves as a calling for the ghosts so they're invited ... after the ghosts had their share of the food, the family eats it for dinner. Family Pudu is on a steady decline in Taipei because people are busy with work and find it more convinient to participate in a temple-Pudu.<br />

Ghost Month Zhongyuan Jie (or, to be politically correct ’month of wandering spirits’) is fairly celebrated across the Orient to pitty and support the roaming spirits. But the restless souls don’t crave for stacks of ghost money (joss paper) only. They’re hungry, too. Spiritual feeding highlights the essence of all Zhongyuan Pudu rites which span throughout the month. <br />
<br />
Temples, entire neighborhoods, shop owners, markets and even large firms are setting up makeshift tables laden with all kinds of foods (at times whole pigs or goats), flower bouquets, cookie combos, crackers, cigarettes, rice wine, and soft drinks. As the old saying goes, in case there’s not enough food on offer, the spirits may be offended, which could lead to a bad year ahead. Or worse, some even believe that if the ’good brothers and sisters’ are not fed properly, they will cause trouble for one's ancestors in the parallel world. <br />
<br />
To top it all off, a washbasin, toothpaste, and brush plus a towel in front of the offering table are awaiting the ’good brothers and sisters’ after the meal. The distinct spiritual donations thus show ghosts to be an inferior kind of ancestor, emphasizing their pitiful need for alms, just like living human beings with no kin.

<br />
Let’s assume ghosts do exist, they must all have gathered here in Sanxia today, as Nana’s team has just outclassed the services of a major charity catering. To be frank, this feast could cater easily for a whole army of hungry spirits, including all their ghostly pets. There's even a feeding section for animal spirits with some miniature paper spa imitations for not yet reincarnated dog and cat spirits. Toddler spirits can enjoy themselves too, asides from a wide array of sweets, porridge, juice, and cereals, they'll receive all sorts of fun stuff like a ukulele and a passenger jet crafted with paper mâché. This year they also crafted two huge ships, too. These, together with the piles of hell money for the adult spirits, will be cremated later on. Unlike the smaller ’messages’, such major burns have been relocated to proper incinerators. Ghost Month was recently nicknamed National Pollution Month, because of the amount of ash generated by people burning gifts to send to the dead. Especially the urban territories of the island are now enforcing new laws to meet all criteria of 'eco-friendly ghost worshiping'. Commonly, all the food will be going either to the participants and the local orphanage, just after the ghosts have taken their share.
