They represent only two of numerous versions, composed in a variety of genres, of these legends, which were once popular all over China. While the seeds of the Mulian legend, in which a man rescues his mother from hell, can be found in Indian Buddhist texts, the story of Woman Huang, who seeks her own salvation, appears to be indigenous to China.With their graphic portrayals of the underworld; dramatization of Buddhist beliefs about death, salvation, and rebirth; and frank discussion of women's responsibility for sin, these texts provide detailed and powerful descriptions of popular religious beliefs and practices in late imperial China, especially as they relate to women. 606 $aBao juan (Buddhist song-tales) 606 $aBuddhism in literature 606 $aLanguages & Literatures$2HILCC 606 $aEast Asian Languages & Literatures$2HILCC 615 0$aBao juan (Buddhist song-tales) 615 0$aBuddhism in literature. 615 7$aLanguages & Literatures 615 7$aEast Asian Languages & Literatures 676 $a895.1/348 702 $aIdema$b W.
