Introduction.

Like Wang Ming-ji, Yang Yung-xin began his account of the old Miao worship with a list of the spirits concerned, but, in contrast to the earlier writer, he chose to expand his list with descriptive notes for each item. In the case of the following four entries all that he had to say was set down in this list and he did not return to them again.

The remaining nine spirits were all covered in succeeding notes but were not numbered. For the purposes of cross-referencing the numbers in the index list has been added to the titles, but, since their order has been changed, they do not run consecutively.
