AB - Zeng Rui’s Liuxieji(留鞋記) diverges notably from typical Yuan dynasty ghost plays, which often feature protagonists returning as ghosts to seek justice after being murdered. In contrast, Guo Hua(郭華), the scholar in Liuxieji, dies by suicide and does not return as a ghost or engage in supernatural actions. Instead, he remains dead for seven days until Wang Yueying(王月英) retrieves the handkerchief he swallowed, leading to his resurrection and their reunion. Both his death and rebirth occur at Xiangguo Temple(相國寺), a site rich in historical and symbolic meaning. Once a royal Buddhist temple during the Northern Song dynasty, Xiangguo Temple represented religious sanctity as well as political and cultural vitality. Its decline following invasions by the Jurchens and Mongols mirrors the fall of the Song dynasty. In this light, Guo Hua’s resurrection at this temple becomes a symbolic act—a palimpsestic rewriting of history expressing a desire for dynastic restoration.
